Frequent "vid_restart" likes in etpro

Postby Rainbow » Sun Dec 13, 2009 20:44

Hey together, i hope someone can help me.
In Etpro (only in this mod,not in NQ) i have random reloads of the maps. Not reconnects, if it happen while im in a team i stay. its exactly like a /vid_restart.
Sometimes a map loads 2-3times when i connect,sometimes its just in middle of a map,after 5 or after 50 minutes of playing.
It is really pretty annoying.
Someone knows how this happens and how i solve it?

regards,Rainbow

But, have you checked what you pressed last before reconnect or any message in the echo (place where you see kills,)/ or the console?

Theres no need to press anything,poorly. I also got this reloads in spec without doing anything.
Console just displays once again the whole graphic init/map load stuff, above it normal game stats/chat.

I think i found the reason

rate change is now in effect.
etpro: rate CVAR_IN violation - [40000] should be IN [15000 25000]
etpro: Saved old cvars to cvar_backup11.cfg
RE_Shutdown( 1 )
Shutting down OpenGL subsystem
...wglMakeCurrent( NULL, NULL ): success
...deleting GL context: success
...releasing DC: success
...destroying window
...resetting display
...shutting down QGL
...unloading OpenGL DLL
Hunk_Clear: reset the hunk ok
----- Initializing Renderer ----


Also in some of the backupped cfgs:
set r_ati_fsaa_samples 1 // CVAR_EQ violation - [1] should be EQ [0]
set r_ati_truform_tess 1 // CVAR_EQ violation - [1] should be EQ [0]

Always use rate 25000; cl_maxpackets 100; snaps 40 as netsettings in ET. :b

snaps 20 :wink:

The rate must be between 15000 and 25000 as you seen, it should fix the problem ;) . But if im right it will only disconnect and not reconnected again?.

btw Did you solved the problem now ? :)

Well. The 40000 was told me from someone, and for NQ it works fine.
maxpackets and snaps are 100 and 20.

I will see if its fixed now.
