Title: game hangs for a second
Post by: psyburn on January 06, 2010, 12:18:59 pm

hi all,

when playing tremulous the game sometimes "hangs"for a second.
i can see other players moving shooting etc. but my controlls just freeze up.
and when its over i find myself a few most of the time walking to a wall or something.

if anyone has an idea or so please reply.

Close bittorrent or whatever's eating all the bandwidth.

i am not using any download programs when i play tremulous.
but i just downloaded a bandwidth meter and every few minutes there is a spike of 532 kbps up and download.
is there anyway how i can find out what is causing this?

edit:
im doing a full scan of my system at the moment maybe its some spyware or something

edit:
well it didn't found anything. just downloaded process explorer everything in there looked safe.

edit:
just played the game in windowed mode and with the bandwidth meter on and had another hang there wasn't anything out of the ordinary just normal internet usage.

edit:
after some further inspection every time the game hangs there is no internet connection for a a second or so.
ill reconfigure mt router now maybe it helps.

edit:
setting  my router to factory defaults didn't help so im going to try to use an internet cable instead of wireless now.

edit:
ok that solved it looks like the wireless connection was causing the spikes.

mods lock please! :dretch:
