Ofc 0 Posted November 26, 2002 Been reading about these issues and hearing them also. How many people are having choppy effects on linux servers with 1.90? The bug makes it look like a lag issue, although pings as usual are roughly 60ms. Yet some players still have a jumpy type screen.... Any possibilities here?

funbags 0 Posted November 29, 2002 Yes. However I don't know the criteria under which you've observed these effects. However whenever I'm playing over the internet with version (1.46 and 1.90). I have noticed that when I play with certain people. The game starts out fine. However the quality of the framerate degenerates at some point of time. It just drops off. Far beneath what my framerate should be. I experience the occasional bit of lag when I play however usually thats manifested in the form of a guy who blinks in and out or something such as that. This seems to be an actual performance draining problem. Even when I exit the game. The main menu is just as slow and framerate choppy. Gameplay usually lasts about 15 to 20 minutes and then the framerate just dives. These are the circumstances under which I've experienced it: I play with a small group of people. I also host a listen server, since they live nearby and have broadband connections (save for one). We usually don't have to worry about lag. I've only experienced this problem when I was playing with someone who also had a broadband connection as I do. I have had -no- problem whatsoever with an acquaintance who had a 56k modem, whom I also played ofp with. Secondly. I've only experienced this problem when playing on unofficial maps and using addons. I have my performance settings set to a modest level which allows acceptable gameplay, as do the people I play with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
