can a spectator lag the game?

[lurker]

you would in essence start another short game

A networked game with everyone in it? If no, then the lobby can lie about the results. If yes, you can still have spring mislead.

In spring u can easy decet huge lagger luckily. Just use /info or advplayerlist and kick lager and take his units - game goes on. This is BIG impreovement over all other RTS games where this was not possible.

I am just glad i diched old barton 3200 and got E8400.. its sooo super fast wooho.

I agree, just look at the CPU percentage. Anyone above 75% will throttle the gamespeed, and is a candidate to be kicked.

Or host the game yourself and enable the EnforceGameSpeed setting, which will drop slow players and also ignore spectators when regulating the speed.

BTW: If you wanna see how the EnforceGameSpeed setting behaves, join any of the EXE autohosts.

Big games without any slowdown...

How do I enable this setting?

Set EnforceGameSpeed=1 in the file
C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Local Settings\Application Data\springsettings.cfg
or
.springrc
