Minimum bandwidth for multiplayer


Killom

Recommended Posts

Hey Folks,

 

I'm going away for some days but don't want to travel without my zomboid :) So I'll take my laptop and my mobile phone.

 

Will it be possible to play zomboid with 2G (maybe 3G) mobile connection ? PING doesn't matter IMHO. (2G means ~ 9,6 kBit/s)

 

Whats the minimum requirement (in means of kBit/s) for zomboid?

hey! welcome to the forums!

 

that is probably not going to be conveniently or comfortably playable. from my own experience using mobile phone internet for gaming, 3g is at least, way too slow for a shooter, but i could see zomboid handling it probably. regardless, good luck on your trip, hope you have fun!

I think it's around 20-30 kbps if you're playing on a server (not hosting),  last time I checked.

 

I wouldn't recommend using wireless networks at all for PZ. Because the game doesn't have any prediction algorithm and UDP doesn't guarantee the transmission of data, any lag / packet loss will make the game pretty un-fun.

 

Your experiences may vary.
