Confusion powered by AntiLag™ (or the new netcode?)

Yeah, I read some references to "Saturday Night Palsy". I just wish my doctor had known about it and saved me some time and money. Sorry for your ongoing problem. If you haven't tried the methylcobalamin variety of B12, you should. It is supposed to be much more effective. At least 10 times better absorption rate if I recall correctly.

Back on topic, I just tried set cl_movement 0 and played some minstagib. It made a huge difference for me. So I don't think lag was my problem so much as the lag correction failing due to my zig zags.

I wrote a script with key bind toggles for cl_movement, gl_finish and sv_maxrate, so you can easily fiddle with these settings in game, without opening the console. I'll post it in the performance forum and comeback here with the link.

Okay here is the thread with the performance tuning script:

OK, back on topic myself, sorta: turns out I had a dying NIC. I figured this out last night after repeatedly having the game lock hard after a few seconds into a match (online). Nothing in ring, nothing in messages, nothing from xorg to indicate a failure. On a lark I finally rm -rf .nexuiz/data/dlcache and notice when I connect up to a server and start curling a map that the xfer rate starts dropping quickly to the floor. So I swapped out the NIC for a spare and viola, problem solved. So it's likely many of my woes the past few days were due to the old NIC.

Ace, the scripts will probably come in handy for others, but I just use the console for everything - I used to do data-entry for a living, still type 85 wpm, and have all the client-side commands memorized.
