Massive Lag

Postby Smooth » Fri Dec 27, 2013 21:31

Hello,

After god knows how many years i decided to try and play Enemy Territory again which was the game i played for a very long time during my... Child/teenage years i guess?
So i tried to return again to the ET community i played at but unfortunately the minute i joined, i had massive lag.

Whenever i turn towards the center of the map with my aim, everything starts to lag really bad, including the sound (e.g i hear "Dynamite planted... planted... planted... planted... etc. etc.) and the clicking sounds when i click a button in the main menu.

I tried the suggestions of this thread and of this thread. Sadly enough this did not help me at all on PS#1.

My computer specs:

Windows 7, 64-bit
ATI Radeon HD 7850 Sapphire
AMD FX-8120 8-core CPU
8GB DDR3 RAM

Oh, and i am forced to run ET as an administrator. Otherwise i will get the "Game code ( ui_mp_x86.dll ) failed Pure Server Check." error which is common on Windows 7.

I hope someone could help me out with this because i would love to play this game again!

Thanks in advance,
Smooth.

When i try running it in compatibility mode for Windows XP, it can no longer find my etkey and it will tell me to get a new one on etkey.org

I replaced my old etkey with a new one but it doesn't fix that problem unfortunately.

you enabled punkbuster?

If not, or if you are not sure, do /pb_cl_enable in your console right after you started et.

maybe the hunkmegs or the fps?

/com_hunkmegs 128

/com_maxfps 125

also found this:

/r_primitives 0


btw, do you use a standard etconfig.cfg or did you download it somewhere?

I'm using the default etconfig that was provided with the ET installer that is on the downloads page of prime-squadron.

EDIT: The settings offered slightly helped, but sound and gameplay lag persisted. Going to try out Smadje's config to see if that helps!

That cfg is certainly not the best. Smad used to build nice configs. And you should take a look to some "connection" settings (com_hunkmegs 256 or 512, rate, cl_maxpackets, snaps) as well, you had a quite high ping when I saw you ;)
