jacoblovekw Posted October 1, 2015 Author Share Posted October 1, 2015 I meant turn on my hotspot and use the 4G to play on laptop lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 You might run into latency issues, lowest latency I've seen on 4g is ~80ms so it might be possible, but be aware, radio links have a fairly high latency attached to them. In terms of data usage, you're looking at ~128Kb/s-500Kb/s requirements depending on situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacoblovekw Posted October 1, 2015 Author Share Posted October 1, 2015 So how much data do you think I will need to play for like 2 hours or so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bumba Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Well... Assuming that you would need 500kbps as the web dev has said, for two hours of continuous playing you would need about 550MB of transfer, but i think that it could get up to 1GB as it all depends on the amount of players that spawn around you.

Miles! Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Also take into consideration stuff like Steam aswell as your PC's internet connections. Your software will also make mandatory connections for example Antivirus, AntiMalware and so on, so it's not just how much data the game uses. my advice is monitor your network traffic before you go away so you know how much. do Win+R and type in resmon.exe and click the network tab Or download something like Net Meter or Track4Win which does it for you.

MashedPotaton8r Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 I used the 3G network from my phone to play this a while back. The 3G here in my country is one of the worst in the world and I can easily play MP with around 400-500ms ping here in SE Asia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacoblovekw Posted October 1, 2015 Author Share Posted October 1, 2015 How much data did you go through lol? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MashedPotaton8r Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Quite a lot. I usually go through 60GBs of data a month mostly doing online gaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zyprexia Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Nitpick mode: In general you'll need the whole internet ;-) But I guess you mean what internet SPEED you need. ets2mp doesn't use much traffic, but you may want to keep a eye on your ping times. Depending on where you stay, you might want experimenting connection with other MP servers. 510 Horses and one lucky bird at work Simulators: Prepar3d V4, X-Plane 11, DCS 1.5 + 2.x, ETS2, ATS, Farming Simulator 17, Omsi 1 + 2 System: Intel i7-6700K @ 4700Mhz, 32GB DDR4 Corsair Vengeance LPX, GTX970, HP LP2475w monitor (1920x1200) Devices: Logitech G27, SKRS Shifter, CH Products Throttle Quadrant, Trustmaster Hotas Joystick, TrackIR Storage: 2 x SM961 - 250GB (raid 0), Samsung 850 pro 1TB disk, Samsung 850 EVO 2TB disk.

Darth Wazawai Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Nitpick mode: In general you'll need the whole internet ;-)Was going to say... Mp takes anywhere from 2-5 all the way up to 200+ kbs The issue is not max speed, it's ping and data caps. Ping is going to be higher than a wired version due to unpredictable cell tower distances. When I played both ets2 and css on my phones data during a temp outage of internet gaming took at most 500mb for 3 days. It's possible but not suggested, oh my ping during said timeframe was about double than a wired one Tho I find tuxy's data speed requirements a little high... but every country is different so faster the safer Oh forgot to mention you could be transmitting and receiving from 2 or more different towers, In different ways. Best way of demonstrating this is turn off GPS on a agps phone (requires internet, a = assisted) and open Google maps with data on.

Clashin_Jon Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Wut Impossible to play ets2mp on an iPhone.... Unless you are tethering your iPhone but the MP barely uses Internet but you'll get a high ping It only uses a could of KB (I heard) nub Pro Twitch Streamer > Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KjayCopper Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Iphone would probably be the worst way to play ets 2 even through tethering Sent from Gittos Group LTD headquarters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Wazawai Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 ^Actually unless the iPhone has tethering issues (usually software, rarely hardware) it all relies on everything else stated here... the phone is like a modem in tether mode.
