wow, that is very strange.

I would try using a different mouse and/or mouse drivers, and as stated before, check for virus, torjans, and spyware.

Another long shot, you can check the system event log for hardware error messages.

What kind of mouse (ps2 ? usb ? Cordless ? ) and network connection (wireless, ethernet or usb to dsl/cable modem) ?

Does the hard drive light come on when he is lagging ?

Yep I’ve still got saved in my favs the thread where he gets totally owned with his BSP files are not maps statement, to which rain makes a map just using a bsp file lol

Oh my that was funny, thank you :smiley: I searched his old name and read through those threads but must have missed that one. Classic.

“it is not a map file, and the game wants all of the map, including it’s textures and models. You said uses textures supplied by the game? Where are these textures and models? They are a part of the map, and rightly so, they are located in the map file - the PK3 file. THINGS HAVE CHANGED SINCE QUAKE II”

It boggles the mind…
Can’t believe the thread got locked before he had a chance to deny that what Rain made was a map :slight_smile:

Let’s keep this thread on topic…

I think we need some more and more accurate systems specs. For starters, a 2.6 gig Athlon doesn’t exist (unless he’s overclocking heavily). So, which exact CPU does he have, which motherboard, which chipset, which mouse (kinda important when it’s a mouse problem, right?), which operating system, what kind of network connection (ethernet, USB), which BIOS settings, etcetera. Also, which other peripherals or PCI cards are installed and which IRQs are in use by which devices? What version drivers is he using for the motherboard, vidcard, mouse and keyboard?

Cheers.

OT: Well… I was just looking at Lekdevil.NL’s post above and noticed that he’d taken the time to spell out the word etcetera. Personally I thought this word may have come from the French language and been something like et-cet-era, but I’m still unsure. So I looked it up in a dictionary that I have.
It gave me this :

Noun: etcetera

  • 1. More of the same

Adverb: etcetera

  • 1. Continuing in the same way

I looked down at the “Types of” tab, and clicked it and there was a word there called “Whatchamacallit”.
So then I decided to search google for it.

The dictionary’s definition by the way was:

Noun: Whatchamacallit

  • 1. Miscellaneous unspecified artifacts

Anyway, from google I found this site:
http://www.whatchamacallit.scriptmania.com/

(He mentions somewhere that he got loads of traffic from google one day so he might want some more, I don’t know. But that’s why this link is here)

Then I scrolled down to the bottom and found the “How well can you do?” link, which links to:
http://www.mcsweeneys.net/links/lists/Bush-Palpatine.html

You’re meant to guess who said what quote…

Interesting the tenuous links (pardon the pun) we sometimes have isn’t it? (Meaning that he stumbled upon his linked site, and I stumbled upon his)

So, where does the word etcetera come from? is it French?

<completely off topic>It’s actually two (Latin) words. Check out some of the more commonly used Latin phrases (in English, anyway) on Wikipedia.</completely off topic>
