Truecombat Elite Problem Please HELP

(ross6056) #1

Hey guys I’ve been having a big problem for the longest time now, I’ve tried many ways to fix it but to no success. =/ The problem i got is what some call it as firefight lagg. I dont know if thats what i’d call it lol i’d probly call it drag back. Anyways what happens is i can shoot about 3 shots at someone and they would never even see me do it. I would just die. I’ve build a bran new pc because I believed the problem was that I had a crappy computer. So anyways to clarify the problem some more: If i get in a fire fight with someone or move really fast my ping goes up by 30, I could jump around a corner land in front of someone and shoot at them and I’d end up dying because on their screen they never saw me shoot. It goes the same for movements, I could jump around a corner away from an enemy and still get pulled right back and die at original spot. This happens on both Euro + USA servers.

Things I’ve Done:
New internet ( Fastest possible + Slowest possible )
New Pc
Old and New video drivers
Lower quality
Lower FPS
Turn off wallmark
Turn off Threaded Optimization
Other Graphic Tweaks

Oh, and another thing i’ve noticed that when I lower my fps the “drag back” gets less and less. At 43 FPS its still there, but not as much.

Computer Specs:
2 gb ram
Intel® Core™2 Duo CPU E6750 @ 2.66GHz (2 CPUs)
NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT
Intel Mobo
500 GB HD
Windows XP Home Edition

I don’t think it’s the right place for T:CE questions. However I think it can touch et aswell, so I give my unhelpful answer.

It sometimes happens to me in et aswell. Due to a normal lag. Sometimes I just die, but by nobody, and I don’t see any msg on the “kill list” (don’t remember what it is called…). Sometimes I start a firefight and then I miss some frames and the next frame displayed is when I’m wounded, in a “real time” there was no chance of killing me even with the aimbot.

How often do you get these? Do you lag usually? Try setting up to run on one core, as ET don’t support dual core. Do you see on the list that you died? Have you tried many different servers, in different countries?

I get this every single firefight. I’ve also tried running the game with 1 core only and still no changes. The kill does appear in the console and i dont have graphic lagg for the most part. I mean the system I build can run Crysis fairly easily, so it handles tc:e/et with ease. I’ve tried both Euro and Usa servers. I’ve narrowed down my possible solutions to the OS as being the problem. It will take me about a month to get a different OS tho. lol

Try if it happens in normal ET. If not make a post in T:CE forums, maybe the T:CE group (if still active) can solve it for you. I can’t unfortunately help you more. :frowning: Hopefully someone else does. I wish you the best luck for finding a solution.

Thanks for trying. I hope i solve this problem lol and I think the Tc:e developers chickened out and left the tce mod to its doom. They lost in a competition like 19-1 or somtin so they are full of shame and just vanished lol.

Can you shed some light? What competition? Against bugs?

(ross6056) #7

No, this competition took place I think the end of 2007 when the developers were supposed to release a new version of tce called .50, but they never did it because they lost in that competition. Its on www.truecombat.us I believe. So now the current version of tc:e, 49b, is dead on its tracks because of the devs… =’( I was hoping that in the new version i wouldnt have this lag problem, but looks like my hopes have been crushed.
