Use this

http://renlist.n00b.hk/download/RenList.1.0.5.zip

When you run it goto settings and where it asks for game location point it to the launcher.exe that's in your ren folder.

Uninstall Renegade Ressurection first, then download RenList which Caveman kindly listed.

If both fail, reinstall renegade, download the 1.037 patch - then download 4.0 - then Renlist (assuming you want it).

Try disabling vsync.

Esc > Options > Extended Options > Turn off vsync.

It seems to help a few people.

I haven't seen people fixing their network with disabling vsync, besides that it would be odd if it'd change anything in regard to actual lag. FPS drops etc. could be caused by this however.

He didn't say it was network related lag.

Some people have reported that you get 'stickiness' when leaving vsync turned on and turning it off makes it 100x better.

For me I dont like at all, vsync on/off and I leave my sbbo alone.

16 kpbs? That doesn't sound very likely (since that would be worse than ancient dial-up modems). I'm guessing you meant 16 Mbps. Try sbbo 10000000 or do a speed test, multiply the download speed Mbps value by 800000 (80% of one million) and put that number as sbbo value (you may round it to a more convenient number with one or two significant digits). What did you base 131072000 on?

131072000 is exactly 100 Mbit/s. So indeed, it should be say 10000000 to 16000000.

ok i made a new speedtest and got :

DOWNLOAD : 5.700 kbit/s = (713 kByte/s)
UPLOAD : 904 kbit/s = (113 kByte/s)

and used this site

-> http://www.fischerclan.de/byte_umrechner.html <-

to convert it into bites , so I got 5840896 bits.

loosk a bit poor ... lol

This sbbo problem really needs to be fixed. You can't expect everyone to set this everytime they join a server, TT should either auto detect or have a option to set it for everytime you join.

Then again when I join a server I don't use sbbo and having vsync on and off makes no difference, I don't get any lag at all.

I think that there is already a bandwidth test, also, the sbbo value afaik comes from the settings in the WOL menu, although I'm not sure what values it uses when using direct connect. From the reports, it seems that the defaults are fine for the majority of people. Also note that servers often automatically enforce a certain minimum bandwidth.

Yes, it should automatically throttle the value (it throttles down automatically if it is set too high already), however this has to be done very carefully and well tested in order not to introduce extra lag. I'm planning to work on this for the release after the next one.

Direct connect also performs the bandwith test but I used to always cancel it.

You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord

I just have it on LAN/T1 in the WOL settings menu.
I also have to add that I just use WOL to connect to servers.

You only need to set it once already, which I said. I'm not sure why you'd want to reset it every time? Only way that happens is when a serverowner bluntly forces that value on all clients. It could do that on pre-TT, but now it does not work well.

Well thats not true... If I force my client to ghost using sbbo and leave when I rejoin the bandwidth gets reset to what the 'default' was. So if you recommend setting your client to your connection speed, each time you rejoin a server you will have to change it again.

Server owners use to force your client to a minimum if you set it too low (or if WOL did) this was usually 56000 (56k). This was to stop people abusing sbbo to make people ghost into walls.

I haven't seen the 'Testing bandwidth' message in years, unless it happens so fast that I dont even notice it since from pressing connect in RenIP, I join the server within 5 seconds.
