[Ice mom KT]

[drsawbones]

do you have your prefs.cs file tweaked as per the modding guides?

how about ports and firewall settings?

what have you tried?

Doc


how about posting some system specs while you're at it?

[Ice mom KT]

i dont have my pref.cs tweaked^
my firewall.... i dont see what that has to do with this? if it is my firewall what do i need to do with it?

and i dont know what to try!

[Ice mom KT]

took a look at my firewall..... turns out it was only allowing out bound internet access only for think tanks! no wonder! my tank sees to be going much faster now. but im going to compare my speed with a friend to be 100% sure i fixed it. update tomorrow

I've noticed this too. I have the pref tweaked, I'd be very interested in the fix for this myself.

[Ice mom KT]

yup it was my firewall ! ^ hey jerry you should try looking at your firewall. i did and it totaly fixed my problem.

[Jerry]

i'll give it a look Thanks!

I have also noticed my tank moving slower than others. Seeing others drive past me as they move faster.

Don't know if it's fixable somehow.

[Ice mom KT]
