It is indeed a common problem. they even call it the "ping999" problem on the forum. Something to do with ports, like you say. I occasionally get one or two people like that when im on a server. Wierdly, they seem to be connecting to other people in the server, as they are often getting kills.

I also get 0 ping in every game i enter. I suspect they are using voodoo instead of netcode.

I think Joose has cleared this problem up narf, but there is also a patch you can manually install if your auto updater thingy doesn't work from the download page on gunzonline.com

Here's a problem, I can't even download the game.

Downloads at around 15kbps, then cuts itself off.. =/

I only figured out that the game measures how long it takes you to ping the players, not how long it takes the server to ping the other players.

i remember the other day i was in a server with 2 other 5punkers, and i could see both, they could both see me, but they couldnt see each other. so it was a bit one sided as i was the only one that could kill them, and i was the only one they could kill. rather odd

yeah, that happens often for some reason, people go invisible.

I'm pretty much hooked on Final Fantasy XI at the moment, but it would be nice to get this working, anyone else has simular problems as I'v tried everything in the Gunz Q&A and Forum?

any help apreciated, might be a router problem,

Unfortunately, as it's still a beta, there's not really much you can do in the way of fixing it if it's b0rk3d

They've just released a relatively big update, so have you tried it since then?

Also, a reinstall with the latest download from the main site might be worth a go as well, but failing that, god knows

Woo Elephant Yeah

Since the last update, every time I log onto a server, the fucking thing shows up all weird with big grey patches where the buttons should be

Anyone else have this problem?

I reinstalled and everything seems to be okay now
