question for server admins pls
 

I have a cable connection and when in a game i have very good ping (between 20-30)however when some servers have a max ping setting of say....300 i get timed out and in the console it says booted for high ping??
Now as i said earlier my ping never goes over 75 once im in a game, so its annoying and frustrating that im limited to join servers that have no max ping setting.
What i have found when pressing TAB is that when the map changes i get into the game about 8-10 seconds after the other players, and was wondering if this could be to do with the processor only being 800? or any other reason.
Its not as if i would lag the server whatsoever ,and i agree with setting a max ping but,as you may understand being booted for high ping when you dont have high ping can umm...piss you off.
If anyone knows why this is happening i'd appreciate it.
thx in advance.

dooms.

I KNOW WHY
 

im a server admin. i run auto kick on my server. the proper way to set up autokick is have it check for high ping on the third pass. also set to NOT check a player on the first pass. what that means is when you enter a game your ping will be high. it takes a few seconds for it to settle down. some will settle quicker then others depending on your connection and computer. some jackass downloads autokick. fires it up without really checking options and finding out how it really works. sets the ping at 150 or 200. you come into a his game. before your ping has time to settle down your kicked. its not you.JUST BECAUSE YOU RUN A SERVER. THAT DONT MAKE YOU A SERVER ADMIN...my advice to you is find a server you enjoy and become a regular there. stop by my server some night. it runs every evining..there your answer...BUTCHER

Thanx for the answer butcher i thought that might be it and ill be sure to pop by your server.

thank-u

dooms.
