Problems with lags.

[Avaddy Profile]

Hello!
My friend has problems with Enemy Territory. First, his hardware:

AMD AthlonXP 2000+
256 MB RAM DDR400
GeForce 5600XT with the latest drivers
His OS is Windows XP Home Edition.

Before HDD format he didn't have any problems. After Windows' reinstall he installed ET and joined to the PS#1 Server. Here is problem. When he is on the spawnplace, he has good ping and he hasn't any lags. When he move to kill enemies, he has 300+ ping and it's impossible to play. His connection is great, because pings in other games are OK, no connection problems. He hasn't any other programs running, only ET. Anyone has any idea?

First , try this settings you can find in our Faq, and see if it resolve your problem or no :

Code: Select all

/cl_maxpackets X
The bigger X is, the more information your computer sends to the server, so basically your actions will be more accurate and gives you a smoother playing experience. 30 is standard but you will see that most ‘pro-players’ use 100 maxpackets.
Slow connection: /cl_maxpackets 30
Fast connection: /cl_maxpackets 100

/snaps X
Determines how many times the server sends your pc updates of the game state. 20 is standard but people with a fast connection could set this to 40.
Slow connection: /snaps 20
Fast connection: /snaps 40

/rate X
The faster your connection is, the higher you could set your rate. 25000 is standard, use 5000 for slow connections and 40000 for fast connections.
Slow connection: /rate 5000
Fast connection: /rate 25000 or /rate 40000
