I forgot to add that when I connect to a server on the internet, I actually see lag of ~100 ms, variability ~4500 ms. One additional comment for something I discovered last night. When I run the bzflag that comes with FC4, I don't see this problem. However, when I compile it from source, the problem is still there with 2.6.14-1.1644. So perhaps the problem really lies with some other FC4 package. I don't know how to find out which one though. Hmmm...perhaps you should stick w/ the bzflag that comes w/ FC4? :-) I'm inclined to close this as NOTABUG. Can you explain why you need to rebuild bzflag? I initially built it a little while ago when FC4 had an older bzflag. And it seems that compiling my own on my system should be better than downloading an RPM anyway. But there still must be a problem. What's different about the system that compiled the official FC4 RPM of bzflag that makes its version work, and the vanilla one I downloaded from bzflag.org not work? That's the big question. So while there is a workaround, it's still unsettling that there is a difference. Unless you are a developer or have some other need for a "latest and greatest" version, I would suggest using pre-packaged RPMs. There is usually a reason someone chose to package a specific version (i.e. it is known to work, has configuration options specific to the distro, etc). The most likely difference in behaviour is that there is some crucial difference in the source used to build the RPM and the source you downloaded from the net. Not all source is created equal... :-) Anyway, this would seem most likely to be a problem w/ the upstream bzflag project. I would advise you to provide your feedback to them. I'm going to close this as NOTABUG. Thanks for the report! |
