losing control

(RAV3N) #1

hey lately when i have been playing i lose control of my player and i was wondering if this is lag? what actually happens is that i can be running around or standing still and i can lose control of my player if im moving forward and this happens i will just keep running forward and not be able to stop or change direction and when im standing still i cant move forward or do anything. i thinks its odd though because the rest of the game doesnt stop i can still see ppl running around and things happening. also i can still use the chat thing and ppl will get my message straight away which makes me wonder if this is really lag also i can press tab to look at the stat thing and my ping is normal. (20-40)

i really need to sort this out because its a bit hard to play clan games when u can lose control of ur player at any time. a bad example of this was when i was playing on a pub server and i was running towards the main gate at FD and lost control and ran straight through my teams mines, they werent too happy :frowning:

any help would be great :slight_smile:

/cg_lagometer 1
This will enable a small connection graph on ur HUD so u can see incoming and outgoing packets (upper half) and dropped fragments (lower half). The higher peaks in lower half, the bigger lags u have. See for urself.

heh, for no other reason that I can, here’s a rough and ready mixdown of a tune I’m n00dling with. Made initially with FruityLoops and an old softwre synth called AXS, roughly mixed in cubase - I’m calling it ‘sock rising’ :open_mouth: - EQ it for techno if you use WinAmp or some such thing - mp3 encoding stole some of the midband.

teh thread hijacker…

the /cg_lagometer only works in ETpro

(Depth_Charge) #12

It works in all versions of the game.
In etpro it has a fps graph added to it.

(SCDS_reyalP) #13

Erm cg_lagometer has worked in just about every q3 engine game since q3test. :banghead:

Rav3n, this happens because of the voice chat program you use, i can’t explain why, but it happens to me when i use Ventrillo…So now i use skype, but it eats up my bandwidth :frowning:

(Domipheus) #15

it happened to me because my cpu wasent fast enuf to keep up with my usb mouse, and et at the same time, dont ask why. i overclocked by 200mhz and it went away :confused:

(=DaRk=CrAzY-NuTTeR) #16

opps, my bad

BTW i use ventrillo but nothing happens to me, could this be a bug with his settings?

(RAV3N) #17

forgot about this topic :weird:

anyways it happens whether im using a voice chat thingy or not and nah im not using an optical mouse.
i have noticed over the last couple of days the problem has been dieing down but its still there. :frowning:
