Lag, yes ive searched

Author Topic: Lag, yes ive searched  (Read 3419 times)

I used to not to be able to go on anymap because it lagged to much(im talking about online)
After pressing the ` or ¬ key i saw that alot of the files said there where missing. So i redownloaded the game and to my suprise i actually fixed the lag problem...only on some maps though, as im trying to play a map like bedroom dark and there seems to be alot of files missing, but ive fully downloaded the game so whats up?

Edit: seems to be a lot of textures missing the most like stuntplane, but is that a mod that i download of others...
Heres some : Addons/shapes/50-gray
Addons/shapes/75-gray

Heres my last game(will i had to leave because of lag)

May be your CPU but I doubt it, hmm have you gone into your Add-ons folder and check if the files are there? Have you tried turning the Detail down?

I havent check whether the files are there but ive but the detail to low

Quote
EXT_texture_filter_anisotropic  (Max anisotropy: 16.000000)

Try turning the anisotropy down.

Hmm i thought i had, in advance settings, it can only got from 0 to 1 and its on 0 now.

can you post you dxdiag?



Not sure which one you wanted :/

Ok so it seems the only maps i can play without lag is autumn, flat and slate :(.
I usally get lag when i look at other peoples buildings...please help me or ive just wasted £10.

In the options menu, try switching the resolution to fullscreen 800x600 32bit color mode.  Some machines have trouble in windowed mode.

If that doesn't help try setting the texture and shadow quality to "medium"

My resoulution is as low as can go and so are my settings, i dont think its that, i think theres some buig in the game, i mean my computers decent, it can play black and white 2, WOW, Project Entropia and other games (I dont play these anymore though).

And you tried fullscreen mode?

Is the problem only online?  Can you run the levels ok by yourself (just starting a single player game)?

Okay ill try fullscreen but thats unlikly to do anything and in singleplayer i get no lag at all, i can host a game and it can lag as well but its really when i see players buildings it lags.

Yeah this is probably a Internet thing. What Speed is your Internet? If your using a 56k that'd explain allot.

How do i check...yea i dont know XD

do you have dial up, DSL or cable?
