Client Issue ET stuttering when high ping player joins the game

[Nikolai]

My PC has AMD cpu and gpu, which causes a lot of issues with Wolfenstein ET already. I asked for help earlier and the solution was /r_primitives 2 /r_mode -1.

However after it I started noticing random stuttering without any fps or ping dropping. I've noticed it clearly happens when a high pinged player joins the game, let's say from USA or Korea.

 

Sometimes restarting the game fixes the problem, sometimes it doesn't. This is what I'm running currently:

 

/r_primitives 2

/r_mode -1

/r_customwidth 1920

/r_customheight 1080

/cg_drawfps 1

/com_maxfps 125

 

If anyone has possible solutions I'd be happy to hear

last 2 change them they are to low

 

seta com_hunkmegs "512" (this is what I use even if 192 is max)

seta com_zonemegs "128"

 

or erase them and put it in your exe

 

on your game icon right click > properties > shortcut > in the target add this after what is already there +set com_hunkMegs “512” +set com_zoneMegs “128” +set com_soundMegs “48”

 

It should look something like this "C:\Program Files (x86)\Wolfenstein - Enemy Territory\ET.exe" +set com_hunkMegs “512” +set com_zoneMegs “128” +set com_soundMegs “48”

I think ETL open gl 2 render uses more RAM. I would suggest increasing higher soundmeg at least 192M on servers with more vsays.

Hi!

 

could you post your complete cfg plz to give it a deeper look

[Nikolai]

The one in my ET profile right? For some reason it does not have my changed settings listed in my original post. I have made the changes in console, not in the config itself. I have to load it with /vid_restart every time I go play.

 

I would appreciate the help as well so I wouldn't have to do vid_restart every time I open the game to load my settings.

Do the changes you need, then type /writeconfig nikolai.cfg and post the cfg here, it is located in silent folder.

Also if you add /vid_restart at the end of that cfg, you can just launch it ingame by typing /exec nikolai.cfg and all is saved there.

 

I recommend the et legacy, for me it fixed a lot of "lags" I was suffering from time to time.

Allright, I will try. It's been almost 10 years since I changed my configs so I am really confused.

@RendeL Miksiköhän tää vielä sanoo, että käyttö estetty kun koitan tallentaa noita config muutoksia 🤪

Et oo varmaan "omistaja" kansiossa

Muutin ne asetukset täysille oikeuksille. Ei auttanu 🤪

[Nikolai]

Okay, I saved my etkey and re-installed the game. Followed your instructions, set myself as an admin to the whole Wolfenstein Enemy Territory folder.

 

Saved my settings on console, named it as Nikolai. I still cannot edit the cfg so I could add the line /vid_restart

 

Also I placed my etkey to the folder but I still lost my XP's and settings on the server. 👌

Silent.dat goes to silent folder. Etkey to etmain. If you deleted silent folder, try to recover it from trash.

 

You should google on how to claim ownership of folder, as it seems to be the issue. It is the nikolai.cfg you are trying to edit and not etconfig.cfg?

Yes, that's the config I'm trying to edit. Thinking back 10 years to Team Muppet times I only had to save the etkey, so I quess I lost my XP, it was only 15K though. 

 

I will post my config as soon as possible

[RendeL]

I see. Well you still should look for the folder from trash can and recover the silent.dat as it is the "etkey" for silent mod.

It should look something like this "C:\Program Files (x86)\Wolfenstein - Enemy Territory\ET.exe" +set com_hunkMegs “512” +set com_zoneMegs “128” +set com_soundMegs “48”

 

 

I have no clue what those 2 even do  But thank you, I will try that.

 

EDIT: Played a game with full server and didn't stutter at all. But I've had days when I didn't stutter earlier, so will have to play more and see if this was the solution
