Re: Theme Park Simulator Brings The Fun Of The Fair To Switch This Week

@Zenszulu A lot of people like simulators, no need to gatekeep them being games. (though where this one is concerned, maybe I agree. haven't tried it)

More worrying is this article is misleading people into thinking it's a very different kind of game.
It's not a rival to Rollercoaster Tycoon (not a tycoon game) and it does not let you run a park (you operate rides).

@pip_muzz huh, I've seen that exact thing happen to some twenty other games (tiny metal and zero gunner 2 for example) so that sounds like it might be it.

You got pretty far in though huh, could you tell me a little bit about the game's appeal?
I've only ever played the first twenty minutes or so, which featured writing so cringe-inducing I had to delet forever - meaning I basically missed out on the entire game.

@berga89 Refer to mazzel's responses. CAT 5E is the minimum requirement for cables just to elaborate.

Incidentally there is no Wi-Fi setup that won't introduce packet loss, even if you glued your Switch to your router - so suppose you stick with what you have as you have it today, wired will be better for games even if downloads are faster wireless.
Throughput versus reliability, I guess.

@mazzel Oh you won't find find any router out there that doesn't support gigabit ethernet. Unless you mean your Internet service isn't anywhere close to that then don't worry, you'll see improvement in response time in spite of this.

Without getting technical, you benefit from having your local equipment being significantly faster than the performance you're looking to achieve.
~And the simplest way to get some insight here is to try it out in a peer to peer based game.
