April 30, 2003 5:56 PM

The official Raven Shield website is offering some info on fixes that should make their way into a new patch for the latest Rainbow Six game. ASE support, a "ready" button fix, and there will be a Linux server build.

    when you click it sends packet to server. server says you fired and sends packet back. when it arrives, you see/hear gunfire. so your shots are being registered even before you see gunfire (half the time, in fact). they won't do client-side prediction, so that's as fast as your gunshots will ever register (your ping)... but I agree not *showing* the gunfire until twice your ping is a bit disturbing. They could show the gunfire/sound as soon as you clicked, but they wouldn't be able to show the ricochet/blood splat, until the info has gone to the server and back... so that might look just as fucked up. I'm guessing they did it, then, for consistancy... you see the gunfire, ricochet, bloodsplats all at the same time... even if it is twice your ping later.
