I’ve been playing ET for the last 3 years and this is the first time it has happened to me.
I have a 3.2ghz machine with 2gb ram and 256mb graphics card.
Whenever I play, no matter on what server, I get these constant fps drops every second. First I thought I had changed my graphic settings, but they are the same as they were 2 years ago and I’ve never had any trouble then.
My ping is always stable and around the 30-40, so that can’t be it. It dosn’t matter what map I play, whether it is Fueldump or Caen2. Just this morning I tried playing on a random server and the map was Caen2 - my fps dropped from 90fps to 50 every second.
As you may think, this makes it pretty hard to play as the movement becomes jaggy. Walking through a door becomes a challange, and when you are in a gunfight with someone this can mean victory or defeat.
I have even tried re-installing my ET, removing all the .pk3 of random files and whatnot that I have accumulated over the past 2 years and trying again - but with no luck.
Hope some of you can help me!
