System Shock 2 multiplayer warping...

Me and my Dad are playing a bit of SS2 over Hamachi.

We have this problem where he is running along, and he seems to warp around a lot, literally running twice as fast it would seem. If we were to run down a hallway, he'd get there twice as fast, but he will randomly warp further ahead, as if... he's running at normal speed, then he teleports 5ft further ahead, I just don't understand.

I'm unable to visually see the problem because he is playing from England and I'm living in Canada.

We ping at around 150ms.

I thought it was his crappy connection he had (2mb/256k), but since he got 10mb/512k, it still happens.

Any ideas what the issue is?

Does he shoot and throw stuff at a normal rate? Next time your playing have him stand in front of you and throw an item to see how that works.

Also it could be playing a non-MP optimized game across the atlantic ocean like you said.

Yeah, he seems to do the rest normally.
