Performance of LAN games

[GMBigB]

If you provide a log from Very Sleepy (http://forums.renegadeprojects.com/showt...p?tid=1476 ), we might get a better idea.

Here is it. I used four computers, one of them much slower compared to the three others. On that one I ran VerySleepy during a multiplayer game. I used a huge map, which causes the game to be slow from the beginning on.

I exspected the CPU load to be close to 100% on the slowest computer and much less at the others, but the CPU was about 75% on all four. It indicates that the game is waiting one quarter of the time for synchronizing messages/events to arrive. No doubt - that's crap. :-)

But there is also an Ares function, which seems to eat up a lot of cpu power: BulletTypeClass_Load_Suffix. Ares version used is 0.1.1036.

BTW: Is there a way I can find the reason for an IE? Maybe some crash dump analyzing tool? I got two IEs during this test and I am curious whats causing them. I don't want to flood the bugtracker with my IEs, because I am sure the reason is my mod and not Ares...
