Anyone having lag with new patch 2.6.5?

runfox · 2004-04-25, 05:15 PM

Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing much lag withthe new patch? I have a fast Comp AMDXP3000, and fast ping avg 46. But I see my FPS lag some and the upstream /downstream going red. Can anyone tell me the significance of the upstrea/downstream?

I as well have been having this problem. I don't understand it. my whole outfit has been affected. I have a custom built Computer with over a gig of ram and a hyperthreading processor, plus cable internet. There is nothing that i can see, but it has started since the patch... Anyone know what the problem could be?

btw... i have no clue what the significance is of the upstream;downstream is, but i assume it has to do with information coming in and out of the comp to the PS server. Mine as well has been going into the red.

PS doesn't support Hyperthreading:/

it was working just fine before the patch. i don't see how my processor would affect gameplay now if it didn't before.

I just thought you made the hyperthreading comment to say that it should be better

My bad.

its really weird for me

people complained that they had huge packet loss and got disconnected from the server for no reason

at the time i was in pl heaven having no lag at all, half an hour later i got massive packet loss and got disconnected same as the other people

then one night i played the game was sooo stuttery it was almost unplayable, it wasnt my computer but the frames would stutter every second making the frames go down a ton but it didnt say so in my frames info box

its reallly flukey

its because the new high textures were fixed in the new patch. So its now putting more of a strain on your system.

Lower the textures

sorry, but that's not the problem either. my outfit members complain of horrible lag with the graphics at the minimum settings. I myself could probably up my performance by doing so, and i will try, but this still leaves the problem unaccounted for...

i havent had any problems since new patch i hardly ever lag.

Upstream and downstream have to do with the amount of information that is going to the server and from the server. The fact that it is going red doesnt really signify much except that you are receiving a lot of information. If you have a hi speed connection then you should be able to recieve the information without much connection lag.

About the FPS loss: Make sure that for some reason you dont have Hi-res textures enabled since they are now back in a may be sucking a lot of memory from you. I personally havent had this problem but I read somewhere that it helps if you turn on Hi-res textures then log out of the game and then turn them off again and re logout just to make sure that they are really off. Ive not tried this so I am not sure if it will help or not.

If ps doesn't support ht, why does the load screen say "Works great with Pentium IV HT"

By the way, they did mention that they re-enabled high resolution textures and to turn them off if you get increased lag. I bumped it down to medium and it helped. I wasn't paying attention to the quality though.

We have been over this already. Lowering the graphics settings doesn't help. If you have been experiencing abnormal amounts of lag that the graphics settings don't seem to alleviate, please post here. I wanna see just how many people are experiencing the same thing as both me and my outfit.

btw, lowering my graphics settings to the lowest possible did nothing for my problem. the Downstream is shooting abnormally high. it was hitting 4000-5000 yesterday night and beyond.
