Missionary, My Thoughts Options

[Widow Maker]

I think the concept of Missionary is great but if you’re going to run it then mandate it and run it all the time. The way it is currently you are penalizing the honest players who run it and giving the hackers a bigger advantage then what the already had. What I mean by penalizing the honest players is this, when you run Missionary (at least this is my experience) you add a tremendous amount of lag and your frame rates go down the toilet. It plays like you were connected via a dialup modem instead of having a kick ass cable connection.

The bottom line is this, why would one want to degrade his game play so the cheaters keep on cheating and honest people like myself suffer by running Missionary.

The only way to making it an even playing field is to mandate Missionary all the time so everyone will have the same game play (lag) and no one will have the advantage.

I don't mind running Missionary but I would like equal game play.

My Thoughts and they probably stink.....

I think most problems of missionary are solved by Druids explanations (programs running in background, etc) I still find any lag due to someone with a higher ping dragging me down, rather than missionary. I'm not going to say anything about a program that eliminates cheaters, because there is nothing worse than going into a game and finding 1/2 way through the map some meathead has been wallhacking, etc, and the game I just went thru was a waste of time.

Down the road with updates the program will just work better as with most updates in programs, and since Missionary is relatively new, we should acept it for what it is, and look forward to its improvements over time. It certainly does not ruin the game, if we are all running it, but a cheater will ruin a game. I found that out when there is no protection in the server.

One word of advice, if you have to vid_restart or if you crash, wait till the error message appears, if your vid_restart did not work for you, because I have a bad habbit of shutting down the computer prior to the message, and it royally messed up my missionary. I had to reinstall it all. If we read the posts he put up carefully then we can get this missionary program running nice.

Bottom line, do you prefer the hassels of goofballs coming in and ruining the games, or are you willing to read into this missionary individually and personally know how to get it running on your system for maximum results?

Lets keep the cheaters out of here, I am personally sick of seeing them try to ruin the games we enjoy.
