I have the same problem

Athlon 64 3500+
Asus KN8 Ultra Motherboard
2Gb DDR Ram
Ati Radeon x1950 pro 256mb
This PC should be able to run the game with everything set up at highest.
I have settings on medium and play at 1024X768
cl_maxfps is at 100 and my fps is never below that anyways.
My ping is always low , less than 60 all the time
PL never always remains at 0 % too.

Its like i cant move my mouse for a second or two at a time when on servers.

Are you behind some kind of firewall/gateway? There may be soem kind of local networking issue here. Also, what OS?

I have this too. It's a broken mouse here, loose contact and disconnect when doing wild movement. Just an idea cos it took me some time to figure it out when I had this the first time. But if you don't get this problem when playing locally it can't be the mouse of course.

Not behind a firewall . Its Windows XP , service pack 2.Cant be the mouse as it doesnt do it in any other game , ie CSS , Quake 3 , Quake 4 , Warsow , UT2K4 etc.Even tried port forwarding the port for nexuiz to the ip of this computer on my DSL router.This made no difference.When it lags the little clock thing doesnt pop up at all.

You mentioned using a DSL router. How many computers are sharing this connection at the same time?

Well, I'm asking you like that because I got the same problems when playing at my company. Ping and PL are decent but I just can't move in a reasonable way. You can only solve that by cutting the wires of the other clients or shutting them down. Otherwise your data packets are transmitted completely but in the wrong sequence (I've been told this is called "jittering").

Btw. are you connected via LAN or wireless?

My net connection is 3meg down and 384K up and im the only one using it.Im connected to the router via a 100meg switch.Its not the network configuration as it works flawlessly in every other game i have tried.My ping in counterstrike to English servers is 25ms (Im in Ireland)

Well, generally, if you have a fluent gameplay locally but it's laggin' when online gaming on servers where others don't have problems, what else but network/internet stuff would you suggest to be the problem?

Different games use different netcodes. So indeed it is possible that there are problems with Nexuiz while there are none with other games. The Nexuiz developers unfortunately can't use netcode from commercial game engines without getting into heavy trouble with their manufacturers.

There's also problems with connections from one to another country (or special providers), even swedish players had issues with norwegian servers.

Do we have any Nexuiz servers in the UK? Would be interesting to know. What would be of interest as well: are there experiences from other irish players with continental servers of other games?

Or can you maybe ask a local mate or whatever to test Nexuiz from another PC and/or terminal point (is that the right expression)?

[Pokey]

My brother plays a lot of nexuiz and doesnt have this problem and he has a similar internet connection.I was thinking it may have been something to do with my settings for rate etc ?

[Urmel]

Very unlikely, iirc you would be the first one who has to do some settings in the game configuration. And I dont think it's any router settings.

Do you have the windows firewall activated (sorry if you posted that already, couldnt find)? Have you already tried playing in windowed mode? When doing that, usually a popup window shows up once where you are asked if Nexuiz should be allowed to access the internet.

And/or Open the windows firewall over the security center, look for the "exceptions" tab. Is Nexuiz listed and activated there?
If not, try to add it to the list manually, unfortunately I don't exactly know all the english expressions there. It's the left button directly under the list.

Btw. on my list Nexuiz is shown up three times. I'm not sure if that was the different versions I have installed or if it is the three executables in the Nexuiz directory. So you'd better add all the Nexuiz executables (nexuiz.exe, nexuiz-sdl.exe, nexuiz-dedicated.exe).
