Hi AD,
there is network protocol problem and it's causing bad connections for everyone. Nightdive needs some networking expertise on this. They are working on it. Seems like there are a lot of rough edges on this game still. Last night I had a 2400 ping on a server. that is very very very bad. A playable ping should be under 100. A good ping would be under 40. A LocalAreaNetwork ping at home between your home computers should be between 0 - 10, depending on your setup. And of course I generalize those definitions.

I'm in California U.S.A. so if we connected over the internet and played on my machine, say Quake III Arena, I would expect you to get less than 200 ping. which would be difficult for you, but at least playable. I know I've played on servers in Japan and had less than 100 ping. And Russia has game servers too, I've played those and had fun and made kills no problems. And I do believe there were a lot of q3 gamers in OZ too back a few years ago and I played on some servers there too. Have I bored you to death yet?

In multiplayer online video games, MMOs, MMMORPGs, MMOFPSs and FPSs ping (not to be confused with frames per second) refers to the network latency between a player's computer (client), and either the game server or another client (i.e. peer). This could be reported quantitatively as an average time in milliseconds, or qualitatively as low ping or high ping. The latter usage is common among players of first-person shooter and real-time strategy games. Having a low ping is always desirable because lower latency provides smoother gameplay by allowing faster updates of game data.
Read the full definition here -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ping_(video_gaming)

Do you have q3 arena? We could try it and see. Also did you figure out that the backward slash ( \ ) key is the 'show scoreboard' key? shows your ping too.

It's coming up on 5 pm now in OZ maybe later tonight it's almost 11pm here now. I'll check back in an hour and see if you are home. I can fire up a q3a server in a heartbeat. 

Nightdive needs to re-write the network protocols. We're Boned.

ROTFLMAO

Edit: I connected to a server in Australia just now playing q3a and my ping was a steady solid 198. and very playable.
 

Hi Snake,
how are you? That's a n1ce screenshot you got there. Do you have the MP editor that I can get from you? 

Yo AbyssalDragon, great win! was fun playin' with you and sorry if I banged your bad ping, I was banged too.

I noticed you on there, too. I'm from Australia, so my connection might be at a different speed (probably slower in typical Aussie fashion).

What is bad ping because I'm confused? My ping was in a 5 digit number. Is that a bad thing? I know it wasn't normal compared to everyone else... xD

I just tried to play, but had a bad time. My guns weren't firing. My Internet plan is an older one, so maybe that also explains why it's being a piece of crap.

I won a multiplayer match, but I don't know how because I always have a hard time on multiplayers with a lack of skill and having people with lag armor because they're not all from my region. Scorpion Missile and Firestorm Cannon spam in closed in places!



I did manage to pick up the Nuke and blast someone with it. It was fun, though extremely laggy. I was getting 1-6 FPS at some points and there were also times when my guns weren't firing anything. Hopefully that gets fixed soon and I might play more tomorrow. Give my PS4 a rest. xD

In Port of Adia, I didn't expect an Endtrail to be there at the first beacon switch. Being able to change the soundtrack between N64 and PC is pretty cool, too. I still prefer the N64 version, but I like the PC Port of Adia theme.

Honestly I am dieing to play I mean how is it lol, fast past oldschool fun at a good refresh rate is all I need, that and dethklok playing the background. I can not wait. Let's getotgether and I'll live stream a few games, I'm not a cheater to btw honest lol, figured I would throw that out there.
 Nothing has filled my head more with thoughts of grandeur more so then playing mp in a Turok 2 release by nightdive . I'm dieing to play.

L! 1st post welcome to Hell 

hahahaha, take me to jail, in the depths of hell.

So hey I'm on a break from playing right now since I just got it today. When I fired it up first time I played on Hardcore mode and made it through the first part of the first level. Hardcore skill is difficult. So I restarted from the beginning on Hard difficulty, and I've played through levels 1, 2, 4, and a little bit of level 3. The first two levels were not too difficult. I've recently played through them on the old PC version so I have some recent experience on these levels. Level 4 got tough, and I was considering restarting the game on normal setting. Level 4 has a easy boss thingy, giant eyeball at the end and that was easy, so go figure. I had to save the game often near the end of the level, in order to make it through. I was killed about 20 to 30 times in places were the game has you push through some enemies with low health and then rewards you after that with full health and ammo pickups being plentiful.

With that in mind, I am happy with the campaign. The new graphics rendering is working great for me and breaths new life into the low polygon world and character meshes. They appear better looking than I had expected and they have been adjusted for gameplay to be more difficult than the older version. In the old game, aiming at your attacker was off somewhat, targeting was jacked up and that made the game more difficult. With this one, targeting is more accurate and the enemies are harder to kill -- and -- they deal more damage than the old version. So that's a major upgrade from the original. The 'leapers' move faster and deal some serious damage. I don't think there are any (leapers) in the original PC version. I just played it and I don't remember them being in the game. Another thing is the levels have some minor level design changes. Overall they work great and if you didn't know the original layout, you will not be able to tell the difference as these changes are woven almost seamlessly into the original material. There's some minor climbing grapple thing that is new so Turok climbs up some edges of rocks. It's so subtle not like in Doom 2016 where he hangs off the edge of ledges and climbs up. But similar to that and not from the original Turok game.

I'll just end this note at this point because a lot of people here can add in their comments and observations. I'm happy with the purchase. The game is fun. For being more than 15 year old game, it still is very good example of what a first person shooter is supposed to be. But it is an old game and I do not think it should be considered in comparison to current releases, that have just way more actual content in the way of texture assets and direct X polish and engine special effects and such. It's fun and it's hard, and you can 'take the gun from my cold dead hand when I'm finished'. 

There are bugs, and especially in the multiplayer network code. Nightdive will fix it, soon (I hope). I'm happy that Turok has been re-mastered and happy to have this game.

Lol, thanks. I really enjoyed it too and so far have beaten level 1-3. I'm excited to see more from Nightdive  .

I have some small issues with it but overall it's decent. Haven't seen any MP though.
