Laggy Weapong Animations/sounds

Rebeli · February 2005

Hey ya. Getting back to old issue which I havent found but one solution. Hope to find another. In b5 and b6v2 at least I have laggy weapong animations and sounds. I can fix them by enabling developer 1 in the console but I dont want to use it for other reasons. While for example shooting with lmg the sounds and animations dont seem to play smootly. I've tested this with lag free servers and in laggy server, no difference that I can tell. Dev 1 fixes this issue even in very laggy server so Im wondering what does it really do? cl_lc 0 and cl_lw 0 dont fix it either. I have plenty of fps and now I locked them to 100, monitor hz are also locked to 100. Rates at 100 also.
Any thougths or comments?

XP-M 2400+ @ 2500Ghz

Im using newest drivers for everything.
Thx for any help you can offer. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' />

I am getting the same problem. I don't know if mine is similiar to yours, but sometimes my bite doesnt show any animationor sound, and on the 7th shotgun fire, it doesnt show any animation or sound. I'll try putting in develepor 1 in console.

Oh and is the command is delevepor 1 or is it different?

EDIT: tried delevoper 1 in console did not fix my problem

The command is Developer 1, not delevoper. Use tab to see the spelling in console.

We all have two things in common: Amd processor, 9800 pro's/ xt

I am going to try and find some more updated drivers and see whats up.

btw, what catalyst driver are you using?

And I was using a bhop script/ waggle walk. I took both of them off, reinstalled ns 3 times, and couldn't fix this problem.

EDIT: Downloaded catalyst driver 5.1 and problem seems to be fixed. Out of about 1 min of biting, it only lagged once or twice when i jumped. But after that it was fine. And with the shotgun, it is totally fixed.

Im using also the same drivers...
I found something other thou. Using developer 1 alone doesnt fix the issue, you also have to but fps_max above 100, even 101 will do. Im still testing if rates affect this at all...

xtcmen · February 2005

It only laggs when biting a building. And only bite is affected.

Im using Catylist driver 5.1 and tbh its only started this problem when i downloaded that and turned fast write on
Im trying to fix it atm

I very much doubt this is related to Catalyst drivers.... <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused-fix.gif' />

Me too. Normally, weapons (animations) appear to be choppy if your FPS_MODEM variable is set to anything but 0 (for example, in The Specialists, it's set to 100 by default - causing the weapons to appear to be choppy, but when I changed it to 0, the lag went away). This is most likely a variable you have to change, but you said something about the maximum FPS that you enable with developer 1 - unfortunately, this is an engine limitation, so this bug may not be able to be fixed...

Thx for the info, but changing fps_modem values dont seem to help. At first I thought it helped but the problem didnt go away.

xtcmen · February 2005

Well rebeli, 5.1 fixed mine basically, I hope you fix yours soon

GL!

Im having a differant problem now, that is that i am lagging sometimes when i see a enemy, and still my ping is ok when it happens.
modem thing didnt seem to help the problem. im going to uninstall cat 5.1 to see if that works :/

Where did u get the bhop scripts from?
ta

xtcmen · February 2005

From someone else, and just to let you know, having a bhop script won't enable you to bhop by holding down a button.

And about the topic, catalyst drivers didnt fix it either.

I have really choppy sounds since yesterday, whenever I fire the SMG i get choppy sounds and after a while some sounds dont seem to play at all

The reinstall didnt help, I bet your cfg for ns is just different, lower fps or something like that. My friend has lcd monitor and while he uses vsync his max fps is 75. If he buts fps_max to 100 he gets the same problem too...

No one has any info on this?
