I know its still a lil early, but I'm getting a little antsy. It's going to take me roughly 2-3 days to donwload the client and then probably another few hours to patch :(

Any ETA on when the client will be ready for download?

    The client will be distributed prior to our beta launch date. No worries. ;)

    I dont wanna that the clien comes the 19th or 2days befor, becasue if that hapens the people who has the best connection will get client 1st, and the 1st char names!!!
    So pls ADMINS make the client avalible at least 5days befor the CB!!!

    It won't come out on the 19th...

    Players with the best connection will connect to the server faster anyway....

    uhm latency and bandwidth is seperate things.

    The game only requires about 5-7kb/sec bandwidth which you could even get with a good dialup connection. However latency from your isp/country/distance is what would affect your lag.

    Alienware is a scam. Better off building your own pc than buying a prebuilt, especially since Alienware rips you off more than usual.

    It's not hard either, just read the manual/guides/don't do something dumb like rubbing your shoes on a carpet then touching a circuit...

    Missing the point much?

    It doesnt matter if u have a PC that can outperform deep blue, if you're on dialup your net will be slow.

    In oher words, no matter how fast your pc is your internet speed isnt going to be faster neither will your ping be lower - except if your pc is really super weak **** it might decrease performace, like if you had a P2 with windows 95 =P

    Maybe I just wish alienware would die. Where did I say anything about latency or bandwidth?

    I was obviousley talking to Lazor that replied "Alienware FTW" in a thread about internet speeds and how its affects the game download speed/latency. You just jumped the gun while i was typing or something.

    Anyways I'd post a whole thing about how stupid ppl are that don't know the difference between pc performance/latency/bandwidth etc etc but this is a forum and no one cares =P

    Ultimately I'm just really bored waiting for CB and just wanted to alert whoever is in charge of distribution to take ppl like me in consideration thats got really slow connections.

    theres tons of clients for this game on the "other" official forums...for example the australian and malaysian sites. the clients are the same...i dont understand why this site is giving away tons of free beta keys but wont release the client, but instead of waiting, i went on over to the other sites and DL the clients from there.

    And you did it for nothing. Those clients won't work with this version of the game. :D

    as others have noted.... there's an australian version :confused: !!!!!!!!!!!!!

    and, even if you edit the client from another region to connect to the IP address of PW-Ints servers... your client may not be running the same version as the server, let alone the cash shop using same currency (damn, my cash shop takes Cubigold - but i can only trade Zen at the AH) ...

    The admin above posted that the client will be available BEFORE CB starts, so i'm pretty sure it wont be on CB launch day.

    Yeah, anyway. Beating a dead horse here, but latency is the delay within network medium being NIC Card, Modem, Router, and Switches.

    The more of these mediums it has to pass through depending on the configuration of each could result in higher latency. The latency is a result of these mediums performing CRC checks and other data redundencies to ensure the data going from location A to location B is not corrupted.

    Bandwidth does happen to play a role in latency, but ultimately it's the devices they pass through and how each device is configured that will effect your overall latency. In the case of the dialup, as long as the medium is in perfect condition then any old 56kbps could easily pass 3-4KB to the server. However a 56kbps Modem starts creating latency issues if it has to pass above about 7KB, because now it's having to break data into manageable windows for the Modem (In this case the modem is creating the latency issue).

    However between a 10Mbps line and a 56Kbps line passing anything under 7KB you'll get equal performance for the same number of hops through medium configured the same with cabeling in perfect condition. This is generally the whole idea of a Server program and Client program, they are similar programs but the server manages the syncronous actions that each client sends of very small bytes and responds to the clients on what the result was also in small bytes.

    That's generally the challenge too with Server and Client. You have to determine what can the client be trusted to handle on it's own and what should it not be doing. Also what is reasonable to have the server controlling.

    Anyway back to the point, if you have a 10Mbps connection or better it doesn't always mean you'll outperform someone. It does mean you'll download files faster then them because a larger window size can be sent but with data small enough you are not getting lower latency then someone on a 56Kbps connection. You're equals in that manner.
