Bandwidth Usage?

[TDoooG_G]

Was just wondering how much bandwidth this game takes up while playing, and whether it makes a difference while solo or with other people. Thanks for any information :)

when you're Solo, network usage is almost nonexistant. because there's nobody to Sync with. only background keep alives.

 

if you're the Client in a match, you get a constant stream of packets from the Host, syncing the match together.

if you're the Host of a match, you receive and send packets in a constant stream from and to all Clients.

 

 

Hosting a match of 4 players, my network usage is normally ~30-80Kbytes/second out, and ~20-35Kbytes/second in.

(Edit: remember to multiply by 8 if you want to directly compare to the internet Specs your ISP gives you, ISP's sell in Kilobits because the numbers are 8 times higher and it works as buzzwords marketing on the average customer.

and divide by 1000 after multiplying by 8 if you want to convert to Megabits, just incase that isn't obvious)

 

 

not very extreme at all, but it's a lot more than none.

well it doesnt require much when playing solo but requires more with multiplayer, specially uploadspeed but i dont know the exact number and i think its different as it depends what kind of router one has, location from the router, bandwith and the ISP

During a 4 hours evening play, I was around 80 MB of total data, uploads and downs, as opposed to around 8 MB while solo play.
