Lag on new install

[Sitting83Duck]

Hello everyone, 

 

Just registered.. with a question!

 

After a lot of years i was happy to find this game is still going, as ive sunk so many hours into this, now i have it installed and im having massive lag..

 

-Its Win8 im using, my laptop is certainly up to the task

- tried lowering graphics, no difference

- tried maxpackets 100, no difference 

= tried seta_ uhhmm.. something 34000, no difference..

 

i know this is probably a simple setting/solution and the admin in the game tried his best, but he advised me to post up a topic cause abovementioned solutions sadly didnt help..

 

Looking forward to hear from you and get back into the game!

 

Thanks in advance

 

==update==

 

i also tried this:

 

 

this makes me create a notepad file called "autoexec.cfg"  which i need to copy to the "etmain" folder

there wasnt an "autoexec.cfg" to begin with, someone in the game told me it had to be in the Jaymod folder, where also there wasnt any of those files...

 

i did copy it to both but step 2: when i type into the console /exec autoexec.cfg it says "couldnt exec autoexec.cfg" 

 

I dont know how to fix this, my ping is around 15

Have you tried /r_primitives 0 1 or 2? I dont see this one in that link, nor did you mention.

autoexec.cfg goes in your etmain folder not in jaymod and not in both.

 

also when you drop the console type /exec autoexec not /exec autoexec.cfg

Also try this, i would go with /r_primitive "2" but 1 can be an option

 

If you still have problems post your cfg here so we can give it a look

/r_primitives 2 or 0 don't use 1.

A lot of people with Intel graphics have to use 1.

[Sitting83Duck]

Also, if i do this Autoexec,

Will this save? Or is it something i have to do every time i start the game? (Wouldnt be a problem for me if thats the case)

 

Ive tried different servers which i think arent of the Fearless Assassins but im not sure.. 

How big is the playerbase nowadays? Or is it all run by one group to keep it alive?

And : /rate 45000

        /com_maxfps 100-110

      /cl_timenudge 0

    /cl_maxpackets 100

What type of hardware are you running in that new PC?  It's probably something simple like the primitives thing or a few driver settings if you have an Nvidia card.

To be honest im playing this on my laptop, but its about  years old and i remember playing it 10 years ago on laptop and wifi when it ran superb.. 

Its an i5 quadcore something, but i might try it on the rig upstairs which has a 1060 which should be more than enough lol..

 

Yeah it must be something simple right?

Though ive never had anything like this before

Sure hope thisll help, ill check it out tonight!

Thanks again!

[Sitting83Duck]

The primitives command fixed all, set to 2 and all is well

You can set that as best answer

Happy to see its solved ^^

 

I also had that problem, fps was like 10 and that was unbearable. But after I set primitives to 2, fps increased to 125.

Best answer for sure, but still thanks to all of you
