If that is right then what is the possibility that it is in need of a patch? This brings to mind that since Activision no longer provides support for this game then there will never be a patch forthright coming for it too. I believe we have been investigation the possibility that the problem may be hardware. You know it's very possible that the problem may be a game default. I do not know if this feature if it really exist can be turned off but if it can why don't we try it and see if it works and maybe even fix the problem? Just a thought to think about.

It can be the master server, our server, the game, the mod, the map rotation, the map, or even an odd coincidence of players isp screwing up the moment. If it would be less erratic in its nature it would be easyer to nail down. Also lets not forget that nobody is going to admit to it being there fault because they would have to assume responsibility for it. So everybody finds it easyer to say its not us. On the bright side this kinda thing usually clears itself up in a week or so. (which makes me add the map rotation thing to the problem) For the mod we do have the max ping set to 300 and the antilag is turned on so there's not much more we can do there. Wish I could do more for you guys Dean but its in the Random Particles hands now OH Sheldon where are you Dark Asylumn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

The map befor I took this screen shot I won rather handily wna there was only 4 players with pings under 100! It seems we all know and understand that is the culprit but where is it being screwed up is the question! You would think the server owners would want this problem cleared up or it could have a very negative impact on their business! Just saying!

Lets not confuse CI's with lag or jerky game play. Is it "Connection Interrupts", you are experiencing ? I just upgraded my old quad core AMD to an eight core and new motherboard and started experiencing alot of jerky game play. I had to go in and change my maxfps to 0 (zero), it was at 200 which worked great on the old cpu/motherboard combo. At 0 it cleared up. MaxPackets is another setting which can cause issues with CI's. If you do a goole search on CODWAW TWEAKS, you will find alot of things to help and or try. BigPapaDean 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Dont confuse Maxfps with "Show FPS" which uses 0 and 1 to turn on and off the "onscreen" display of frame rates. If Maxfps of Zero is working leave it there. That way your pc will do what it can. Well your video card will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

I unlocked my fps and ran around 400 to 600 fps. I played at that setting for awhile. I then capped my fps to 125 and it ran fine there too. Full Motion Video is an average of 24 to 30 fps. So anything above that is overkill as far as gameplay being smooth. In my testing I actually found 125 fps to be quite smooth and didnt effect my ability to kill or be killed what so ever. And on the plus side my GPU fan slowed down !! My video card is not working as hard. Even on the server in question, capped at 85 it played fine for me too. I know Ramistar has issues at 85, so why not cap it at 200 fps. Dont lock it at 200, just set the range from 1 - 200 and see what happens or just put it back to unlocked. Higher fps dont give one an advantage in my experience. Its CPU, Memory and network settings and getting rid of background apps that effect gameplay the most. Streamline your PC !!! Well actually how good a player you are effects shit too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
