[beemer]

I uploaded some screen shots to my profile of when the graph when I was lagging. Hope it helps, really like playing on your guys server, the lag is frustrating.

Can you upload them here, your profile is private so we can not view them...

Hey beems, do you have an nVidia graphics card by chance? I uploaded some demos of the issue as well. It's still happening but seems improved today, I am going to assume that's because of a server reset at some point yesterday/this morning.

I agree, it's quite frustrating.

Can you verify if this only occurs in the gg server or does it occur in the other servers too. The more information I have the better I can identify possible causes and try to correct them.

I've been having lag and the game freezing several times this last week on the Gungame server.

Unusual high ping and screen freezes while server messages and sounds still work.


Tried all the other IBIS servers aswell as other ones and get no lag at all on them so for me it's just on the gungame server.

Ping issues point to some network related problem, perhaps you were having network problems by chance only when on the gg... another player reported fps drops but that is clearly client side.

i was personally helping beemer with this earlier today. I will list the symptoms below.
He lags randomly, sometimes a lot, sometimes not so much.
I can see his lag sitting in spectate.
With net_graph 3 it spikes with red, which is entities.
No ping issues.
No issues in other servers.


Thanks Zero!

Ok so he sees a large lagspike in red on the top or bottom graph? Also does this occur more often when people die or when there is a lot of players on his screen.

From the sound of it he is having fps drops due to having quality set to high for his equipment. Has he tried a total reinstall to see if that does anything?

Think the top graph. Not 100% though. It really did seem random. Did it when everyone was alive and when there was just 2 people left on the map.

I would agree with you about the quality too high, but him playing for long periods of time on other servers without incident takes that out of play.

Also, he is a long time regular(same for most people now with this lag) and he has never lagged like this before. I can vouch for that.

I'm really thinking it has something to do with when you updated the server. Tracers ect. 75% of the people can't even see the tracers. Even after reinstall or validating. Is there any way, for troubleshooting purposes, we can flash the server back 2 weeks and see if that fixes that lag?

zero sorry beforehand for the long post, but this is exactly what happens on both gg and wcs:

personally i keep getting the red "unable to connect to server" warning message at the top right corner of the screen in both GG and WCS and my game would just pause for a good 12 seconds before i can come back.
The weird thing is that i don't hear audio, and video just stops, however, if i were to be typing while in that mode, people would still get my messages, and i can see them when im back in game...
This only happens on those 2 servers

some weird shit..

as for gg SPECIFICALLY? it does have lag. weird framerate.
in wcs i can shoot an m4 and i can control it properly, however in gg, after each bullet, my crosshair seems to skip 1mm to the left or right of that person's head, forcing me to constantly re-adjust my aim very very unsteadily.

I'm not the most accurate shooter, but i do admit that it's easier to aim in wcs than in gg when it comes to keep a crosshair fixed at a spot.
it's as if im skipping frames when im shooting... and aiming seems choppy.
and it only happens in gg.
