We just played hangar again and this time it switched no problem. Thanks Rugger/Penguin/Weed.

Server got hung up again, interestingly between hangar and broadcast, which is where sconsegrad was. Those two should be fine though? They've been played recently. I believe Weed restarted it.

Server is stuck on mp_sconsegrad. Shame, it worked in the past

Thanks

I'd be curious what the input lag would be like on some of these too.

Neither at the moment.

What's the model number? G2712? If so, here is the manual: https://download.msi.com/archive/mnu_exe/monitor/G2412_G2422_G2422P_G2712_G2722v1.1_English.pdf And drivers: https://www.msi.com/Monitor/G2712/support#driver

While it will depend on various factors, going from 60 to 144+ should give an improvement. One factor will be your current monitors input lag. I gained around 20-25ms, but my old monitor was particularly bad. If memory serves and "all things being equal", you get around 8ms taken off going from 60hz to 144hz (correct me if I'm wrong), but some monitors are worse than others. Personally, I'd never go back to a 60 having played on a 144 now for a number of years. To me, as the majority of the gaming population moves towards 144+, it's essentially a time handicap, which is the last thing you want in an fps game.

https://aoc.com/us/gaming/products/monitors/cq32g2s/downloads Click on manuals. Looks like you've also got an fps mode you might want to try, or perhaps manually adjusting contrast/brightness. It also has "overdrive", but I read some things about it that put me off.

Hmm, did you try more than once? Which monitor?

Do you have a 144hz+ monitor?

Nice. Did you turn the low input lag setting on as well?

This means the monitor is currently only running 60hz, and not 165hz. Yes, you'll need to change some settings in windows.

I wonder if the 4k could be causing issues with a 3060. Do you know how to open the console in-game? Can you input this command without the quotations: "/cg_drawfps 1". This will show your fps on screen during the game. It will vary, but you want to see if you are getting a nice steady number, or if you are getting large dips or are are just permanently low. Ideally, if you have it set to say 125 or 250, it mostly just stays at that number, and isn't dipping way down to something like 50. I'd play a map or two with this on and see what it's doing. Edit - This is for Cod4.

What are the pc specs? Ram, and graphics card? Wouldn't have thought these would have been an issue, but worth checking. What size of screen do you have? What is your ping like? Does it "jump" around a lot? For example, moving from 50 to 60 up and down, up and down, quickly, or is it fairly stable?

Assuming your monitor max is 165hz and that is what you want, this is correct. It's just checking that your refresh rate is actually what you think it is. Max allowed "com_maxfps" in-game is 250.

Yep, screens can make a big difference. Depending on your old screen, you could be knocking a significant chunk off your in-game reaction time. I think it was like 25ms I gained on https://humanbenchmark.com/tests/reactiontime when I got mine. My last screen was pretty bad though. See Shadow's post for what your fps checker should look like with a 165hz monitor.

Make sure and turn the "low input lag" setting on. Also, fps checker for when you've set it up: https://www.testufo.com/

That was a joke

@Rea Just changes the settings when you aren't looking. Hax!

Not sure if the spawn on mp_dam on the one side could be moved up to the level of the road, it's a little one sided at the moment.

/cl_maxpackets 100 - For ping. /cg_fov 80 - Field of view. /com_maxfps 125 or 250 I also like /r_gamma to adjust brightness a bit more precisely between maps, rather than the slider in the settings page. Jester also has a few other connection related settings in this post from a few years back: https://www.xtremeidiots.com/forums/topic/89049-cod4-setup/?do=findComment&comment=929220

I see you went into server one the other day. Not sure if you usually have your maxpackets at 100, but if I go into server 1 it puts it back to the default of 30. Check if you have "/cl_maxpackets 100" set.

Welcome!

I love that map, we've played it a ton over the years. I'm reading it was happening with other maps too, so hopefully nothing to do with this one specifically.
