Lag problem
« on: May 10, 2007, 03:03:34 AM »
Its started happening recently, but whenever I go on some particular maps, certain spots in the map will lag out badly. I brought the fps thing up, and at times it said i had 1fps 0_o its not isolated, cause it happens in every server, and multiple maps, but its only been happening in the last few weeks...

Try these things:
cl_locknetfps 0
cl_maxfps 0
gl_swapinterval 0


Those will raise it up some.

And to raise it up more use this program. (Give your thanks to Jigsaw for finding it :))

I used this at home and school and it helped at both.

Try running it in a window and bring up task manager to see if there are any other processes using up your CPU at the same time. "set cl_sleep 0" might help some, too.  Also, which parts of maps cause the poor framerate?  Can you take a screenshot of an area where you're getting 1fps?
