It is 2014 and Quakeworld players everywhere are still playing with pings much higher than they need to. With some simple configuration changes and the use of ezQuake+qwfwd to automatically find better routes, you can lower your ping by up to 50ms.
I have written the definitive guide to using the best-route functionality of ezQuake+qwfwd which you can read on my blog:
How to use qwfwd to improve your ping
This is a
must for all players and an invaluable tool both for local servers and remote servers.
For those wanting to compete in the
Tri-Continent 2on2 - Presented by BogoJoker tournament, this could be the difference between 180ms and 130ms. Even to servers locally to you, you can shave 4-5ms off your ping in the right situations.
