Guys, I have played Doom 3 on both a LAN and online. When playing online with multiple players (6+), I have noticed that my FPS drop significantly when 2 or 3 battles are going on at the same time. This normally corresponds with a little packet loss/lag. My FPS have dipped below 20 at times, and this is on a system that benches 90fps @ 1024*768 HQ, 8AF in demo 1.

However, when on a LAN, with 5 people, those same types of battles rarely dip my framerate below 30.. So my question is, can a games poor netcode somehow affect your framerate? Thanks

link? does it play well?
Not sure how it is done, but if you go online you will see that a lot of the servers now have 6+ players.

It won't run well in HQ with more than 4 regardless of the system.
