Title: Bandwidth.
Post by: Ragdoll on February 05, 2011, 06:40:45 pm

Hi,

I recently noticed that IV:MP wastes A LOT... like too much (around 15-20MB in 5 minutes). It's kind of a problem for me, because I have very limited bandwidth (3.5GB per month) I was wondering if there is a way to lower the amount of bytes used in the game.

Thanks in advance.

Not playing will lower the amount of bytes :P

Theres no way to change the amount of data the client sends back and forth. The only way will be to either play less or wait for a newer version of the client to come out which may hopefully lower the bandwidth usage.

Alright, I figured something out... since all blips appear (even the ones that are far away from you), the client downloads everyone's movements, which makes it download a lot more than the SA:MP server... Is the current client version capable of allowing the loading of only blips that are close to us ?

I think not
