Title: Strange error: "Delta_parse entities too old"
Post by: b00nlander on February 18, 2006, 10:42:06 AM

Hi,

today I got a strange error:  "Delta_parse entities too old". I have no idea what that means and it happened to me for the 2nd time within the last month now, so what is it, whats the cause and what do I do against it?
Build15 on Windoze XP...

Data sent from the server is delta compressed.  In other words, it's only updated when it changes.  In order to tell what's changed, it has to keep track of what's been previously sent.  In cases of more severe lag, the current state of of entities and whatnot gets so outdated that it can't match up the changed state.

You can disable delta compression with cl_nodelta, I think.  You probably don't want to, though.

Yeah, I agree with XBain.. Get broadband lol.. I don't have much room to talk because im on dial up and I sometimes get that message too. I just reconnect to the server. Simple fix for me.. I usually see it maybe 1 or 2 times every month if that...  Just reconnect when it does that.
