Is ETPUB becoming really laggy for anyone else?

[F257]

I find it increasingly hard to play to there. My FPS seems ok - bout 40, 50 average really. But i keep skipping frames and its increasingly becoming annyoing. I even find Jaymod 1 more bearable than this.

 

And off-topic; in my CFG i have a few binds that have captial letters but these wont show up in ETPUB. Any work around solotuion?

 

E.g in Jaymond it would appear as

 

ATTTTACKKK!!!

 

In ETPUB

 

Attack!

[Timberwolf]

Ya i get the lag here and there in spikes ..and my mouse freezes up I can move with the arrow keys but i have to unpulg the mouse and replug it in to unfreeze I have tryied everything, Norton full scan compressed my files deleted my drivers reinstalled them changed ports, Tryied another muse ..0 works

[daredevil]

Can i know PC specs? Also, turn on lagometer and take SS of it.

 

1 SS followed by another SS within 2 sec. Then take 1 sec followed by another after 1 min or so. Feel free to post SS and your config.

 

I played for 1 hr and I didn't lagged at all. I even checked PBSS and found players have smooth lagometer with no red spikes.

 

 

 

Try this in your console:

showdrop 1

 

and keep an eye on your console. Also check hardcore server. Its etpub but at NY location.

[Tonka]

get same lag on hardcore, you had said something of pb lag at start of map, which is usually when lag, but also once or twice in map, starts again, only lasts less than min or so.

I said that when PB was updating. All should be fine by now. You need to upgrade your celeron machine/internet speed tbh.

 

My core 2 duo, decent graphics card and pathetic wifi on r_mode 6 and high settings.

 

 

I get stable 125 FPS+ on my friends desktop when their are 24 vs 24 players.

 

Can you both guys type this on command prompt:

 

tracert 209.247.83.71

 

and post results?

esseintialty its the basic one Moxy made. i only ever exec it in Jaymod

 

and im not sure who you want to do tracert, but apperntyl cmd does not exist

[daredevil]

1. showdrop can't be on by default. Default value is zero.

 

2. Those system specs are not accurate.

 

Run this http://www.cpuid.com/download/cpuz/cpuz_151_setup.exe and post your RAM, Motherboard and CPU details.

 

Also run this and post results:

http://fearless-assassin.info/downloads ... .0.3.4.zip

 

3. Do you have IDE hard drive or SATA?

 

4. Do you want low graphics config? then you can have more FPS but unfortunately your have to compromise it with graphics detail but in the end you will have more FPS.

 

5. Please take SS using ingame SS facility rather then xfire. Their was a reason i had said 1 SS followed by another When you warp/glitch/pause after taking 1 ss with F11 then it shows hard drive/CPU issues. So, if you take instantly another SS it will show up in that SS.

 

Suggestions:

---Game folder clean up:

1. Delete jaymod, Etpub, NQ folder. When you will join server you will have fresh files. Save SS and demo if you have them or condumps.

2. Delete all files from etmain starting with z and ~.

 

Clean game folder and delete pk3 which are not being used. It will help you with PB hard drive scans.

 

--System suggestion:

1. You see all the icons in your taskbar? Disable all. Start from disabling xfire, messenger, antivirus, firewall, etc. and only then play game. No p2p should be install on IDE hard drive because they fragment hard drive at very very high rate and half nooblets keep p2p on all time and it keeps uploading.

 

2. Upgrade your celeron processor. You see it clearly says 15 FPS - indicating major client side issue. FPS is majority client side and server effecting way less.

Celeron processor where never made for gaming. Never. They have cache disabled and many other manufacturing problems and hence they are called celeron. Each celeron (batch/processor) has its own limitations. Intel makes processor and if they found bugs in their current batch of manufacturing, design, etc..they fix those bugs by removing functionalities, removing cache, etc.. and processor comes out in market with name "Celeron" before it. Also, they manufacture low cost chip name as "Celeron" without cache. The yield of Celeron manufacturing is way more and hence less cost and high profit.

 

3. Run hard drive defragmenation once.

 

When you plan to upgrade:

You are looking for at least P4, 2Gb RAM, SATA hard drive ( don't go for IDE ffs in 2009), 128Mb PCI express graphics card ( not the build in motherboard or accelerator ones), good mobo and good internet.

 

 

OR Install logmein once and let me do all clean up in 15 mins by remote desktop. *You will be able to see what I am doing*

https://secure.logmein.com/products/free/

 

I will not be willing to clean up everyone PC. This is only for F257 and Tonka. You can say no because I never allowed anyone to handle my PC and it might be same with you. So feel free to say no.

 

 

@ Tracert

 

Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, and click Command Prompt. In that type:

 

tracert server IP without port and hit enter.

3. Run hard drive defragmenation once.

 

@ Tracert

 

Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, and click Command Prompt. In that type:

 

tracert server IP without port and hit enter.

 

Just for my own knowledge, how do I run a hard drive defragmentation?

And for Tracert, do you use your own IP or what?

[daredevil]

Let me know OS for de fragmentation and for tracert you use the server IP. It will basically show you hops, time required to reach the destination and path.

[hobbit]

Let me know OS for de fragmentation...

I have Windows XP. Don't know if you need any more info.

 

Edit: I think ive found out how, but I would be grateful if you could still explain how to. Do i use the Disk Defragmenter?

K, cool.

The second link was the one I had open

Im not really sure when im looking for the info you want so i did a html dump and uploaded on MF

GPU

 

http://messyshare.com/show.php/6845_gpu.jpg.html

 

I have no idea if i have SATA or IDE. If i knew wish cables i was meant to look at i could tell you fat or thin but otherwise i dunno sorry

 

i think ive gone as low as i can, apart from turning off the sky . i could try a low graphic one though and see how it affect my aiming

 

Oh , lol didnt realise F11 was autoscreenshot. sorry. i used the console

 

i tried in J1. Stable, round 18-20 fps

so i disconnet, go to J2 - ET crash - restart ET - took ss of J1 then go back to ETPUB and wait till Alder. Better FPS, but it flucatated wildly between 30 and 45

Thanks for all your help

You are running on board graphics card and celeron processor.

 

The only thing you can do is push capabilities by softwares and minimize cpu, graphics and hard drive usage while playing.

 

1. Update graphics card driver.

2. Update directX

 

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/deta ... layLang=en

 

Also, you can still tweak down your config from the one you posted. I will do it by this weekend.

 

You can still get around 50 FPS if you stop all those software that are in your taskbar.

 

And don't use 100Mb hunkmegs with 2Gb RAM imo. Use at least 128Mb.

 

Here is the hard drive tool:
