Lower maxpackets?

yeah its been happening to me. Don't know how to fix it though.

i have that too. a real screenfreeze actually like 1s
wasnt like that in the past (half a year ago), no idea what changed

same ere.

It doesn't seem to happen with all the friends just some. Also I see some people as offline when they aren't.

it's default ql bug that never will be fixed and we will get new useless maps at next update \o/

I like the new maps and I am sure a lot of the higher end players like them too.

His point is fixing this bug that has been going on for years is more important than a new map.

Good point. Lol I will blame my ADD for that. But I would like to point out they are changing more than just adding new maps. So what he said doesn't really make sense to me.

but they havent found this bug which has been happening for ages and its very important

Fixing technical issues negatively affecting the gameplay should be the absolute priority. Make the game working perfectly, THEN add other things.
I, too, would also prefer 1 major bugfix once per two months over anything else. I mean - we've had 19 official updates and ID were unable to get rid of some important issues since the early beta. To this very day.
People saw how seriously the devs take this game when we were watching major lans, where rapha was winning over rapha thanks to the scoreboard bug, that took 2 fucking years to fix.
Still doesnt make sense to you?

Pros will play any map if the prizepool is tempting enough.
But yes, having diversity is a nice. Yet still I dont get your point, as the new (actually played) duel maps are made mostly by bst / cityy.

I'd recommend you to take a good look at this:

There hasnt been anything worth calling a "game update" since the hitboxes in 2010. Unless you really love all the useless cvars and a few mods for casuals that nobody ever plays, as they were made premium only.

What does that change?

I was pointing out that the useful content is mostly not dev related.

As far as I know, they pay for it nonetheless and often tweak it heavily themselves.

I know. Someone was asking cityy the other day if theres gonna be a new Silence map with different color layout. Cityy replied that he actually came up with a new version and sync didnt like it.

I remember this happens to everyone, it is in fact not you that is laging but the server, you can see it in the net graph or lagometer. It doesn't happen on all servers and maybe not all the time.

you can fix it by changing your teammodel/enemymodel settings


It's lagging due to loading the models

I know what your talking about but this is not the same problem. You are referring to when you have binds that change from tankjr to keel. That can be solved by just switching between them before the match in the warm up. Again the problem in this post in not what your talking about.

same thing happens to me but seems to not affect the people that im playing against when it happens -_-

i was in a TX server yesterday and in the span of less than 5 minutes like 10 people connected and then disconnected and i lagged for every single person that came and went. its annoying as shit.

I have this too for months. When will id fix this fucking game. And why the hell I still can't disable ingame notifications about people connecting and talking to you. It's specially ridiculous when you are watching a streamed game and you constantly see the caster's buddys connecting and disconnecting and chating to him.

cg_deferPlayers "1" in your config could help.

It's on by default, this happens regardless of that command.

That's strange, then. I have really crappy hardware and I don't have this issue. Maybe increase com_hunkmegs?

Maybe thats why it doesnt happen for u, cos I'm using the latest hardware xD

Either that or because I'm on Linux. :)

you could try to make a script changing the enemy model into most popular playermodels few times per sec before the game starts and see if it helps
it's not really that noticiable at good PCs btw, SSD/ramdisk might help aswell

Yeah, I wouldn't call my pc bad ;)

I will try the model thing.

I dont get why the game has to load a model which isn't even seen because you are forcing all the enemies to be the same. See, all these things make me angry. Do they even know the meaning of optimization?

optimization for dead project(quakelive) is useless
especially if 1,5 men working on it.

does model color/skin count?

dunno, I have no idea if that's the case and not smth like cg_lastmsg cfg disk write(there're sv_paks/sv_referencepaks cvars in qzconfig) or smth else. If it is actually the case then you need to mention all skins.

i have it to :(

try restarting steam

wat

:D
