Laggy SW due to Jetpack ?

The Master · 08-11-2003, 07:33 PM

Hi, i just noticed that when i use jetpack i get very laggy in SW Demo.
When i use the jetpack very long, even all other people get very laggy, this even made some servers disconnect everyone !!

On the same servers i can play very good without jetpack and when i run around with jetpack, nothing happens. But when i use the jetpack = lag chaos.

Anyone else with the same experience ??

i get very laggy when i play the SW demo, much less the jetpack.
meaning, the lag is so bad you can't stay prone or change weapons.

damn, well, i just upgraded right before the demo came out (i have a gig of pc2100 ram) and i get no lag at all, even playing a 32 person server, or a 32 person coop server...

Did you refresh that server indivdually? Did it lag with just 8 ppl on
a low ping server?
Most lag is due to ppl not joining up with server with low pings to them.
Post your initial pings (refreshed) before joining server.
The vast vast majority of ppl playing this demo aren't getting the lag.
If you want to check if it's video related...run it Single Player.

find a fat-pip server in the early morning, that should work.
