disconnected after every map

[ExCaL]

Hello everybody..i hope someone has any idea whats going on with my pc/game when playing E.T.

I can play E.T without any problems during a map,but when a map ends and a new map starts load..then my screen pops back to my desktop screen and doesnt stay on the loading screen from E.T.

the screen doesnt freeze or something and i can use my mouse keys ..everything. But my screen stays in the same resolution and brightness as i use when playing E.T.

If i immediatly check the serverpopulation (to see who is playing) my name is still there and with a ping of 999. But i have to connect to get back on the server.

This started about 1 week ago and i didnt download or install any new programs or software last few weeks.Anyone any idea

thx ExC Hope i posted it in the right section btw.

did you try some config, or something like that?

 

for example cg_gun_frame crashes the game after the map ends, if you put something different than 0

 

the fact that you appear as still being on the server is normal, the server just doesn't know you are not there for a while till it kicks you.

Well you might check these commands if are set to following ones

/cl_packetdup 1

/cg_predictitems 0

/cl_allowdownload 1

/cg_smoothclients 1

I just typed the commands in console that you wrote in your post Unknown,and for now it seems to work.

I tried a few maps and i didnt get disconnected between the maps,so it looks pretty good .

btw when i type /cg_smoothclients 1 in console it says unknown command

but im already happy that i can play a few maps without connecting everytime again..thx for the advise.

worst case,

/reconnect saw U today!! looking forward to seeing you again:)

btw when i type /cg_smoothclients 1 in console it says unknown command

 

if it says unknown then it isn't a valid command for the mod you play

so maybe it's a case of mere luck but you'll see

It would have been more informative if you had typed each command without values, to see which one might have been 'wrong'.

 

Type /cl_packetdup to see if it returns 0 or 1, etc, for each cvar, before you fix them. Then you could scratch ur head while wondering how it got changed from the default.

[ExCaL]

Ok thx for now everybody.I checked it and the only thing that was changed from default was

cg_predictitems. It wasnt on default and i dont know why it changed cause i dont even use a cfg or something.The only thing i change when playing E.T is my resolution and brightness.nothing else.

But when i looked into my main E.T map ,there were 2 profiles suddenly instead of just 1.

I always play as ExCaL and there was another profile in the list saying ExCL ???

Strange and i really dont know how this possible,because i never changed my name into ExCL.

Does anyone has any idea what is going on with my pc??

btw i deleted that ExCL profile and didnt get disconnected after that,but im just wondering how the hell it got there.!
