Renegade Data Consumption

[bad2gurlz]

Hi guys,

My data package has always been unlimited downloading. I was wondering how much data is used while playing renegade. Lets say 5 hours as an average?

you see the kbits use on top right wich differs by playercount.

 

press f8 and type in: fps

then hit enter

I see, but on average does it take 1gb for 5 hours play?

It's way, way less!

Actually it may be more :p. It depends on a lot of factors.

The kbps displayed in Ren can be very different depending on the overall activity but also where you are. Eg a 4 player game will be very different from a 30 player game. But also if you tend to stay on tunes you'll use way less data than when you're in the field. 

Kbps generally varies from 20 to 350 in the rencorner server. If we take a maximum of constant 300 kbps in a full server, we'll have an over estimated calculation. 

You need to do 300 kbps / 8 (convert to kB / s)*60 (1 minute) * 60 (1 hour) / 1024 (convert to MB per hour). That would be 131 MB per hour. But it's probably less. But could also be more. Cause you need to add the data the server downloads to your hard disk. Take for example when we add new sounds.

I've played rene using my mobile 4g connection couple of weeks ago, USB tethered. My cable net was down for most of the day. I have 20gig limit. I played for a few hours barely used 150mb
