sound lag problem

(Ayacca) #1

my game lag/freeze every time an objectiv is played

how can fix this ?

what is the prob? my sound drivers are already up to date

what is the cvar to disable these announcement? there is no lag for voice chat

Increase the value of com_soundmegs to for example 128 and make sure it is not latched.

already did it, does not work

this is not a cvar problem,

seems like i am not the only one facing this problem but i cant find a solution

(Dragonji) #4

U r not the only one, because I remember that somebody had tha same problem, but I don’t remember what was the solution for that. :frowning:

i remember too having this problem
lag when hq announces objective
hunkmegs and soundmegs didnt fix it

Maybe it’s the problem with some ‘s_’ cvars?

Some mods are reading sound files during the game from your HD. I don’t use Windows but I do remember defrag/defragmentation tools which might speed up your hd access. Disable anti virus permanent scan for games and ensure there are no unnecessary apps/services running in the background.

its not really sound problem there was no lag when engine played voicechat only when HQ announced objectives
i have new installation and the problem is solved dunno how maybe some cvar values

I had same problem but with SSD, it’s speed is way faster than HDD and the problem can’t be on that.

And I didn’t look up what was causing the problem, however reinstalling Wolf:ET solved the problem. :rolleyes:

Maybe to many pk3 stuff, especially soundpacks?

(Ayacca) #12

I also thought it was because of an access to the hard disk

It makes me the same thing in Etmain.

And I use the minimum pk3 possible, those needed by the server and play on a single server.

I saw that others had the same problem but nobody seems to know where it comes from

Tried defragmentation?

(nonoMapper) #14

It’s worth a try installing the game outside windows own file/directory hierarchy like somewhere in c:\games/wolfet and not in it’s own Program Files folder.

(Ayacca) #15

yes tried defrag

(Ayacca) #16

i already installed, and re installed ect

(Ayacca) #17

this is so boring

how can turnd off these announcements?
