(bear in mind I have the shoddiest internet on the planet) I had virtually no input lag most of the time but at the worst it was about half a second.
Stuff I didn't suck at (from oldest to newest)

Well- this is amazing.

Apanx hosting in Sweden and then there's me from England.

If there was lag, I couldn't tell it was there.

just played some matches with S_M. It was by far the best online experience I've ever had in RA2, and it was across the dang atlantic. Very little lag all things considered.
I need to play someone in the US, even with our match US-UK it wasn't too bad, and I imagine if I fight someone nearby the lag might be almost unnoticable. I have very high hopes that an actual organized tournament with actual people driving the bots could take place very soon. I'd be totally down to host.

This is a huge deal, people.
There is new hope for this game. I haven't been this excited about RA2 in years.

awesome to hear about this; downloading it now.

i kinda think we should have a thread made and pinned in the online battles section so anyone who wants to play an online match can just post there. of course that's far from the only option, it's just an idea

After being bullied by RoboBowler and Mouldy, I have come to the conclusion that online RA2 is sh**. Parsec is great. Had a really fun time, just now. Had a mini-tournament, too, which I won  :mrgreen:

Can anyone test/confirm/deny (probably deny) if autohotkeys works on the user's end with parsec, that way both players can use the same button setup? How directly does parsec take the inputs?

Even if ahk does work, there's got to be some way to modify or transform the keyboard outputs.

You guys should try the DSL Obstacle Course. probably one of the few things in the world that's worse than retooled

Also, make sure to play with your setting if you're gonna be hosting

There is a mode to share hotkeys with users. I've not tried it out yet so I'm not too sure how it works.

We tried this yesterday. It's a mess if you try and use all 4 people.

Parsecs seem to hook before AHK, so AHK doesn't seem to work.

Using controller simplifies 4-ways, ran WASD, IJKL, arrows + controller.
Have to try multiple controllers sometime
