Game minimizes randomly. Also, fps spikes at night.
« on: May 28, 2007, 12:07:18 am »
Greetings, all.  I have a very bothersome problem.  At times most inauspicious, tremulous minimizes to my desktop.  I have no other programs open, and I do not press any keys, such as the windows key.  Of this I am sure.  Might anyone know what causes this?

Also, another minor problem: My fps spikes from 90 to 30 every other second past 11 PM, GMT -5 EST.  The only solution to this that I have discovered is a simple reboot, but that destroys the flow of any game I am in, especially scrims.

Help would be appreciated. Many thanks.

I'd usually make a lame joke about a person's tech problems, but your problem is just too suck-tacular. :(

Actually I can't really help you, but maybe you should tell us, what OS you are using. I guess Windows?

Time related, I would guess either lag, from others on the network, or scheduled tasks.
