If I use Free Download Manager it probably would, downloading straight from the browser almost never works.

2016-10-18 00:10:20 UTC  

you press a key, the server register half a second later lol

2016-10-18 00:10:32 UTC  

The last online game I played was MGO2.

2016-10-18 00:10:49 UTC  

Though, the other day I got into a session on GTAV online...

2016-10-18 00:11:05 UTC  

people must be mad at you lol

2016-10-18 00:11:15 UTC  

It was by accident, I meant to go into a solo session but went into a regular session instead. lol

2016-10-18 00:11:15 UTC  

they must see you teleporting everywhere haha

2016-10-18 00:11:35 UTC  

I was roaming around the map and heard explosions and was like "Wtf, there's other players here?"

2016-10-18 00:12:00 UTC  

Then in the bottom left it was giving off the log of who joined/left.

2016-10-18 00:12:28 UTC  

well at least it didn't used you too much data

2016-10-18 00:13:04 UTC  

Neh, Playing online doesn't use up data for me.

2016-10-18 00:13:10 UTC  

I was always confused about it.

2016-10-18 00:14:04 UTC  

Cause I remember in MGO2 I had thousands of hours, I'd be playing for 16 to 20 hours straight, and the data would only ever go down by a small amount.

2016-10-18 00:14:49 UTC  

yeah, online gaming don't use that much data

2016-10-18 00:15:34 UTC  

Kinda shocking, I woulda thought it'd use up more than browsing does.

2016-10-18 00:15:49 UTC  

Well, * Browsing videos I mean

2016-10-18 00:20:45 UTC  

nah it mostly just send and receive information about position & actions for the other player

2016-10-18 00:20:58 UTC  

it's really cheap in data

2016-10-18 00:21:32 UTC  

Oh okay, so like a vector number then the game it self works it out?

2016-10-18 00:21:55 UTC  

it's a bit more complicated than just a vector most of the time but yeah

2016-10-18 00:22:13 UTC  

it's more like a matrix of position x, y, z and camera angle

2016-10-18 00:22:22 UTC  

but yeah :)

2016-10-18 00:22:23 UTC  

Well, I guess that makes more sense.

2016-10-18 00:22:36 UTC  

Camera angle?

2016-10-18 00:22:56 UTC  

yup, the direction your player is looking / etc

2016-10-18 00:22:59 UTC  

especially for FPS

2016-10-18 00:23:13 UTC  

Oh yeah. >_< I forgot FPS games were a thing lol

2016-10-18 00:23:28 UTC  

well camera angle / player direction

2016-10-18 00:23:34 UTC  

depending on the game

2016-10-18 00:24:03 UTC  

Though, I guess third person shooters also have that one feature where they show you who killed you through their camera for a few seconds.

2016-10-18 00:24:04 UTC  

plus the different actions, crouching / shooting, etc

2016-10-18 00:24:54 UTC  

oh the killcam require the same informations that it just normally send

2016-10-18 00:25:57 UTC  

position, the looking direction and angle (if you look up or below, etc), and the action you're doing, crouching, walking, running, shooting, etc

2016-10-18 00:26:41 UTC  

that's like few kilo bytes every minutes

2016-10-18 00:34:20 UTC  

How much data does playing online use?

2016-10-18 00:34:31 UTC  

I wanna play MGO with my mcdonalds wifi

2016-10-18 00:35:51 UTC  

Like 2 or 3 mb an hour maybe.

2016-10-18 00:36:15 UTC  

Well, probably a little more, but not too much.

2016-10-18 00:36:24 UTC  

Fuck yes

2016-10-18 00:36:37 UTC  

Time to score some lag kills

2016-10-18 00:38:11 UTC
