Getting really mad -> MP freezes/lags

[Mara-Jade]

When will a patch come out??? I cant stand it anymore! Everytime when someone joins the server Im on, my screen will hang for 2 secs and the sound will loop. Most of the time Im dead when that freeze is over. This is really driving me nuts on bigger servers because every 30 secs someone joins or changes something on his char and that will freeze me again and again.

 

whats also VERY annoying that now my JK2 in MP drops the FPS HORRIBLE sometimes when theres a mapchange. I normaly have about 50 fps in ns_streets but sometimes when the map changes to ns_streets it will drop to 20 fps or less. I need to restart JK2 (reconnect to server too of course) and all is fine again until Im unlucky and it will be the same again when there is the next map change. this is a horrible problem on slow maps like ns_streets or yavin.

 

Im really getting mad and I think Raven/LA just used us as beta testers... sorry... ALPHA testers!!!

Do you have your games set to load models on death? If not that might explain your brief performance drops as someone connects: It's loading their model up and your computer obviously doesn't have enough oomph to do this without a break in the action.

 

You might try turning the graphics settings DOWN a little? Rather than pushing your computer right to the limit and then some.

that on death loading is turned off, because I get even worse freezes when I turn it on. My computer should be quite capable of playing that game without freezes: TB 1600mhz, 786MB RAM, X15 Cheetah U160 HD, Ti 4600.
