Connection Problem W ET


(Giliador) #1

I play W ET on my laptop with Vista OS and Gefore Go 7900 GS and 2 GB Ram, and on most servers I have problem with Internet connection,
I have flashing text “Connection interrupted”, and its really hard to play when game jump from frame to frame, and I lost connection every 2 sec and then its come back, few years a go I have played on 1MB Broadband and it never happened and now I have 2MB Virgin broadband I keep having cuts in connection, I play other online games that required much bigger internet transfer than W ET and I don’t have any problem, I rune game on Windows xp Mode on vista and my firewall is switched off.

Any sugestions?

I know this may sound strange but it could be that ET is running with too many frames per second, I believe that the engine has trouble when it runs over a certain FPS (as can happen on newer hardware).

open your console (`) and try com_maxfps 60 (if your laptop display refresh is 60) or you could try 76, 85, 125, 333 - once you’ve got a value that you’re happy with use seta com_maxfps xx to permantly set the fps

actually, there’s a thread on the QW forums complaining about Virgin with the same problems in QW
