The pause - seems like every thing stops then skips to the current. Example: A see a ball moving from point A to B. During it's flight it seems to stop then skip to a different location.

Happens no matter how many player are online. However the pauses get worse with more players. That is they happen more often and sometimes last longer.

I don't show a frame rate loss during the pauses. I don't have packet loss or ping issues.

I played several UT2004 matches with no problem. I did lose performance from 2.0 to 2.1 however, I've only had the pauses with 2.1e.

I've done nothing between playing 2.1d and 2.1e computer wise. Everything seems normal from my end.

hm, sounds a lot like server lag to me or your connection. what happens in botmatch?

I tried several deathball servers at several different times. All with the same results. Played UT2004 online without a problem. I go check and see what happens in bot match and also check and see if I still have the pauses. I'll post in a few.

and please look for adware on your computer which could be running int he background. i know it can cause stuff like that

im wondering why you'd have this, to such an extend, and i dont have it at all

what i do seem to get is lower radar lag.

the game feels smooth.. but when someone passes i dont see it onthe radar.. i just see the receiver catch it.

i havent confirmed yet if this is cuz of PL at my isp or not.

I have it in bot match too - but very slight even with 14 bots. I still got it on the |bud| server with 5 players.

I did run spybot since the problem. Also defraged and cleaned out the temp files. No luck.

Got a link to another anti adware program? I'll do a double check just to be sure.

bascically the only difference between us is the gfx card

but some with radeon dont get this prob either, but onge (with gf) gets it afaik

i guess we just wait for 2.1f and go on testing. i see no other way, i hope i can count on you guys. the coders have some ideas, and something really went wrong last night when robert and matt tried to merge their code. its being fixed now

And our first priority is that we need to win some contest in a few days, and I don't believe anyone at nvidia or epic has a non-geforce card

they shouldnt run into problems

I hope it doesn't take too long. The pause/skip is so bad I can't even play at the moment.

Anyhow, I'm sure the coders will figure it out. Me wait for next version.

I can assure you I have no adware running.

Perhaps it is down to specific ATI drivers? I'm using Catalyst 4.7...

I'm also using 4.7 and having no probs

On a 3on3 pickup match last night, i witnessed something completely new:

After a certain moment, when i picked up the ball... i died lol ?! A white message saying something like "You have dropped the ball" showed up, aside from the green death one "You have have telefragged by the ball" (i'm not sure if these were the exact sentences, but it was something like that).

I laughed my ass off at this (before the fuckheads in the other team scored lame goals resulting from my deaths, but that's not the issue here), i has just picked up the ball or been passed to, and wham, death to me! I almost felt like i was playing gibball all of the sudden xD how about that, mr. David? Died the whole three times i picked it up before i decided to reconnect -_-

Once i reconnected it never happened again... this one is by far the biggest bug i've ever seen in DB...

Wish i had taken a screenshot -_- Goldeneye and BB were there, ya can ask them for any other details

EDIT: Oh, and if i can recall correctly, i don't think i could volley or boost during that period either.. Could've been lag once again, not sure, waiting for it to happen again...

you cried and left the server after few mins.

Oh, and by the way, i'm getting the "spawning with no map" bug more often than ever. Literally every match, and on the first spawn usually... Wasn't that fixed sometime during the 2.0 or 2.1x stage?!

That's right, after you and dickheaded Twister scored three goals after i died with the bug, with nobody there, since, gee.. i was the keeper.

I belive fair play is essential, don't enjoy playing with retards, sorry.

Stick to the topic.
