then you have a common problem, the way between the server and your provider has a bottleneck or something like that I think. I´m not sure if you can do something about it. I had this too on some servers but after I changed my provider it was gone.

I've got the same problem only on tsgk servers dude. The other servers don't choke as much lol

Choke problem, client at 99% of the case.
If only 1 player do not have chokes at a public server, it is enough to considere that the choke is client related (if server related then all the clients would have choke without execption which is not the case at TSGK).

As above but does number of players affect your lag? What are your graphics settings?

Lawitz · Posted: Sun Oct 14, 2007 15:21 Post subject:

Can I play better on US servers if I change those parameters? EU servers work fine with default. if yes, what should I set them to?

why is it that default settings are not good for everyone? why would someone need more data to play without choke whereas others can play normally with default settings? I understand that setting it lower for slow connections may be useful, but higher?

I've always run default, but changing from 30/20 20000 to 30/20 30000 really made the difference for me, but I can tell it's my PC causing lag.

While hopping through the server collecting weapons my crosshair moves smoothly but as soon as I fight somebody (especially close range) that's when it hits me, I flick my mouse to shoot my magnum out of routine so it's easy to notice the difference but the cl_showfps gives me the numbers and once the effects kick in (explosions mostly) it drops like 40+fps.

But I can tell when I'm playing someone with 66/66 or 100/100 cause my magnum just wont touch them no matter how well I aim or how good my fps is yes it is ultra lame.

its possible for me to play on us servers but its hard with physics and orbs, they are a lot harder to catch because its like frames are missing of its flight to me.

how do I find out what parameters are currently set?

OK thanks to you guys i figuerd what the hell was it was.
It was cl_updaterate i set it from 60 to 20 and the choke was gone Smile

Thanks!

Xmeagol · Posted: Mon Oct 15, 2007 09:36 Post subject:

no matter what, always set cmdrate and updaterate the same values, otherwise it will be unstable

i set to 30, its the best for my konnection Very Happy

I saw it today, its so bad my skill goes down to the drain when it starts. Osiris saw it too, maybe you could reduce the ammount of players on the server?

Lawitz · Posted: Thu Nov 01, 2007 01:15 Post subject:

when you were there there was some minimal lag, it got stronger though on the end. but before there was unplayable lag and many complained about it.

Freelancer · Posted: Thu Nov 01, 2007 09:20 Post subject:

it wasnt Choke for me,I think its something with the server because i had 0-2 choke all the time and even tho latency was 40 t he ping was from 78-90 Ms Confused

May be its the last Update ?

The Borg_TSGK · Posted: Thu Nov 01, 2007 09:31 Post subject:

Its only happening to me since the update. I play with a ping of about 30, choke mainly low and fps about 40 when in close action. Last night playing about 7.30, make that 20.30 cest the game was running well till the server got nearly full. The game slowed right down but my fps,lag and choke hardly altered. Started getting the motion sickness feeling from the jump picture and left Crying or Very sad

[DOH] Mick · Posted: Thu Nov 01, 2007 10:35 Post subject:

I had this problem to fps so slow it was impossible to play Mad

Is there a way of kicking the players with high ping when the server is full
so it speeds up the game for us Question

Yesterday during the laggy periods there were only 2 players with ping between 100-200.

Lawitz · Posted: Thu Nov 01, 2007 13:06 Post subject:

there used to be a limit on tsgk servers but it got removed.

how can I see how much choke I have got?

The Borg_TSGK · Posted: Thu Nov 01, 2007 14:14 Post subject:

I think it the command cl_showpos 1
i've had mine running for a while and think this it was i used Sad

The RAM of this server has been flushed, all should be fine now.
Also the original post of this topic has absolutly no relation with the Lag that occur since 2 days on this server, as it was client related, and the second problem was apparently server memory leak related.
Topic closed.
