Playing Mods online: Do they lag the game?

[IxianMace]

I played the KH2 Mod online with a friend recently, and he said that the Mod lags the game a little. Does anyone find that is the case when they play Mods online, and is it true that playing the Mod online will lag the game a little?

ive never had a mod lag Emp before....

If the mod is using more CPU usage, RAM, video card, etc, than a typical map would, then yes it would lag. But a very tiny mod wouldn't lag the game that it noticable. Just depends on your computer and the other people's computer.

Emp mods might, in theory, speed it up due to the fact that decompression from rfh/rfd files is not necessary. (again, not noticeably). But in Emperor, as has been said, the difference is minimal

Ok thanks, I was just wondering, because I kinda noticed that the KH2 Mod did degrade performance online in general. But as it has been said, the difference is minimal.
