banimod / etpro / ettv forums

hi,
i have a little problem with etpro. Anytime i play on an etpro server, I have lags.
Strange thing is that when i play on a jaymod server, I havent any lags.
i tryed:
- completely reinstall et
- completely reinstall pb
- install new graphic card drivers
- reinstall OS

i think that my lags are evoked by losing packets. I hadnt any problems with lags half year before. I havent done any changes in my home net since. My provider affirms that problem isnt on his side.


my configuration:
amd athlon 3200+
1gb ram
gf 7600gt
net: catv 3000/300, public ip

any idea where is the problem? thx for all responses

There is absolutely no reason that ETpro would lose packets while other mods didn't.

ETPro might feel worse if you do have packetloss, because of antiwarp. If you post a picture of what your lagometer looks like while you are lagging, that might help us see what is going on.

or the ETPro server is on a worse connection than the Jaymod server...

here is the picture of lag:

That's antiwarp. When it starts, stand still for a moment and it's gone.

You can remove some of these spikes by shutting down other programs, like IM clients. Turning off autoupdate for antivirus and windows (or at least specify a time of day where you are not playing ET).

Some server browsers, like All-seing Eye, also use your internet connection.

Some spikes are caused by punkbuster screenshots, so join the angry mod of people whining at pb

i shuted down all no needed programs, but the count of spikes are still the same

If you are getting hit by antiwarp a lot, it means the quality of your connection is bad. It isn't specific to etpro, you just don't notice it as much on other servers, because they let you warp (and so allow your bad connection to cause problems for other people on the server, rather than just you).

You need to find out what is wrong with your connection.

That's exactly what my lagometer looks like when I get screenshotted by PB. Ping jumps to ~300 and I get that "feather" pattern on the lagometer, which gradually slopes down to normal as my ping settles.

Like the others said: just don't move for a split second and this is gone.

For a PBSS?

Yes.

I'm sure he knows how to do it, the point is that ppl with good connections shouldn't have to do it.

Have you reported it to Evenbalance ouroboro? (They close issues when they think they've fixed them, so you may need to do it again if you reported it before the latest update).

Yes. They never responded, presumably because it's the normal behavior of the "new" screenshot code. It happens to everyone, in fact I didn't even realize it was happening because I'd stopped using the lagometer long before that update, but eveyone was bitching so I turned it back on and saw that they were right. I always know when I've been screenshotted because I see that pattern on my lagometer, then I press +scores and see my ping is nearly 300 for a few seconds (normally <50). I'm 99% certain that standing still won't stop it. I only brought it up because the lagometer pattern is the same; I wasn't looking for a remedy because there is none, AFAIK.
