Dthwsh,

Try here: C:\Users[your username]\AppData\Local\id Software\Enemy Territory - QUAKE Wars\base

Radar B2A? What are the changes?

This was after on before sunday games? (due to demoplay stuff).

Thanks!

For reasons best known to MS / SD I have at least four folders for QW with apparently RANDOM sets of files in each -

  1. C:\Users[username]\AppData\Local\id Software\Enemy Territory - QUAKE Wars
    Contains pk4s including custom ones.

  2. C:\Users[username]\Documents\id Software\Enemy Territory - QUAKE Wars
    Things tend to autodownload to here or the folder above… :confused:

  3. J:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Application Data\id Software\Enemy Territory - QUAKE Wars
    Doesn’t have any pk4s but seems to contain profile data

(note Administrator isn’t my profile :o)

and finally…

  1. J:\ET\QW

where I actually installed the damn thing :slight_smile: This contains the pure pk4s that come with the install.

Violator,

Nirvana Event just uses the first option 1).

Dont scary people! :smiley:

(Violator) #486

hehe :slight_smile: Nirvana is nice and easy, just connect and it downloads the stuff you need and you don’t need to worry about where it goes.

(Donnovan) #487

Violator. I believe number tree is a remain from Windows XP. Windows 7 dont have this folder.

(Dthy) #488

Found the folder and deleted the estate shizz, hopefully that’ll work!

(Violator) #489

You are right - deleted it and everything still works - 1 down 3 to go :smiley:

(Donnovan) #490

The other 3 are ok. Their name are, i believe:

    • The SavePath; downloaded content and run files
    • The UserPath; screenshots and demos
    • The GamePath; the untouched oiriginal game

I mounted a online server to run Glory and find, in loco, the cause of the slow down it have.

The optimized shadows was causing the slow down.

You guys, who reported slowdown on Glory, was using shadows on or off?

Remarks:

On some Nirvanas i got slowdowns in many maps, so this can be not all the stuff revealed, but its a begining :smiley:

Violator Corner:

Violator, since Estate 2 is relatively small, it had the chance to have been compiled with optimized shadows. It is compiled with optmized shadows? If yes, i will make some tests in it.

Thanks!

I am worried about the freezes of Nirvana server in general when starting maps - upon each map change for me is a delay of ca. 5-10 seconds when everything is frozen, it hasn’t been like that several months ago. Scrupus, anyone, do you also have it?

(taw_m0nsta) #493

Can it be it needs to preload big campaigns? Like a campaign with 10+ maps?

Its just compiled ‘Normal’.

I also get that 5-10 sec freeze on starting each map on Nirvana too.

[QUOTE=Violator;384947]I also get that 5-10 sec freeze on starting each map on Nirvana too.[/QUOTE] Same here. You can already start walking and do stuff and you get the result 5 seconds later when once you are in game and its synced again.

(Scrupus) #496

I see it too, but I’m not sure if it’s something wrong - maybe it takes a bit longer with more maps. I don’t think it’s that different from before, but it’s more visible with some more seconds. Can’t think of any other changes that could affect this atm.

(Ashog) #497

it is different. it started shaply happening approximately during the time when four recent maps started to get lots of updates (spring - summer?) - wake, glory and estates…

(Donnovan) #498

Anyone who had noticed slowdown on Glory remember if shadows was on or off?

(Ashog) #499

Hmm, you know what? Don’t do anything. The lag is actually good, because with it I still manage to select a correct class after mindlessly teamkilling during the prematch :slight_smile: Tapping changeclass during this lag works 100% :slight_smile:

GGs today, but sometimes i got lost :smiley:
