simplemod

I am able to change it inside the game, and it will stay that way for a while. usually till the next time i get on. but here's something new. I was playing a minute ago, and I started lagging real bad, looked and my ping had raised to 150 160 inside the game, so I quickly ALT/Tab out to my desktop and refrash my xfire, and it's pinging the server at about 85ms, while the inside the game it's still nearly double that. i had went to the old mod server and got cfg right again, and had lowered my ping nearly 20ms before I went back to the beta server and this all happened.

I keep having something change my config. I work on it to get my ping down a few points, and cap my framerate a little lower to about 110. I used to have it at 125. But for the last couple of weeks or a little longer, everytime I get on the FT Beta, my fps has raised back up to 125, and my ping has raised up about 20 points. I DO NOT click yes in any of the boxes that pop up wanting to change my settings for me. And this is something that has just started happening recently. And to top it off, now the last couple of days, when I go in to play, I am dead and my bubble is raising up about the same time I start seeing bullets leaving my enemy's weapon. My ping is anywhere 80 to 115, usually stable about 95. I have made ZERO hardware changes, nothing is running in the background that hasn't always been running. I have never been one to turn things off to play a game, and have never had issues like this. Any ideas?

Happy Birthday

Cool to know, I've been playing around with Linux OS's for a few months now, trying different ones. I'm liking the Zorin OS best so far, and it's Ubuntu based, maybe they'll work on it too.

me too please

Happy Birthday

I have drank many different beers in the last few years. I finally got a chance to buy some Pabst Blue Ribbon once, that's all I ever get now. Ignore the hype when people says it's bad beer. It's the blue ribbon winner nearly everytime it enters in the beer competitions, and has been for generations. It's the best tasting beer I have found, with no bad aftertaste. It also does not give me a headache.

SWEET!!!!!!! I'll give this a try this weekend.

Yep, sounds like he should buy a lotto ticket. He's got somebody saying it ain't his time yet.

Thoughts and prayers for you and your family.

I too prefer my own, but as far as buying one somewhere, the best around here was a place called Juilia's Cafe. They had the best burgers for miles, you could taste it in the steam coming off it. Sadly, she passed away, and it's just not as good anymore.

Happy Birthday

That same update show to have already installed? You can open up the Windows update and tell it to hide that update, but I would still be concerned as to why it's not working properly.

lookin good y'all.

Welcome

I can say the copper bracelet won't help, cause I wear one, and never take it off. And while I have been off work this last week, I have had the a ton of shocks walking around the house in house shoes and fleece pants. although it does sound like a static issues if touching all that other stuff sets it off too.

We'll keep you and your family in our prayers.

this is great @@Ruggerxi and @@Sitting-Duc

Welcome

Happy New Year

ping is most important, but at the same time, you need a fair FPS too. too low and your missing stuff. people will argue that the machine doesn't make the player, but a low end machine WILL HINDER a player. when I first started gaming back in the COD1 days, I could only avareage about 30 FPS, I played a lot, for a long time like that, and never could make it very high on list for most kills ( didn't play FT back then) I built a new system one Christmas, and averaged well over 100 FPS with it, it was twice the speed-ram-and graphics of the previous one. Within the first 2 or three rounds on the new machine I was in the top 5 players from then on out. But I also played about 7 hours a day. I worked 5am to 1pm, got home and played till about 9pm at night, nearly every night.

yeah, hope it didn't do much damage, there's some really neat looking places in those pics.

anything is possible. especially if it is underpowered for your hardware. go to: control panel/system on the left side, select "advanced system setting" in that window select the "advanced" tab. then the "startup and recovery" settings. uncheck the box that says auto resart. that will let the blue screen stay up till you reboot it. let us know what it says in the first couple lines of it next time it happens. I got my hunches on it, but we'll wait to see what the BSOD says.
