Hello,

When can we expect to see ranked matches hosted by dedicated servers? I have been experiencing lag recently - particularly player movement lag.

Thanks.

Will we be able to host ranked dedicated servers? The answer could be very important to a lot of people.

I would expect we will only be able to host custom matches, but haven't heard this for sure yet.

I think that will give the exact same results as the host-client system....

Well I might be wrong here but if you would host a ranked server and play on it, you would still have no lag and the others would.. So I don't see how that would be different from the host-client system.

well dedicated servers remove that advantage the hosts gets and puts everybody onto an even footing, and when the ping column is fixed on the server browser, people will generally always join the servers will the lowest pings for them and therefore you will generally be playing with people in the same ping range, with nobody generally have less than 10 ping (unless they are sat right on top of the server itself )

it basically will balance out all the connections and ensure nobody has an advantage over anybody else

Yes, dedicated servers are supposed to be ran on well connected servers.

And please Illfonic don't make it that we have to rent a server for it to be ranked from a gsp. Please allow anyone to run a ranked dedicated server.

Confirmed: No "ranked" on dedis. They would like to make it possible, however, in the future.

For a supposedly competitive game this is a big shame if true.

tbf i ain't that bothered about them not being ranked when they launched, I just want a less laggy game, i can happily wait for ranked ded servers

[Geronimo]

It will be a long wait and lonely wait

Yeah I know, but if random people host dedicated servers on their pc's that probably will give the same results as we have now..

You can't play & host from same machine @ same time.
