Game running very slow

[Pokey]

Its not a firewall problem as the firewall is turned off.There is nothing popping up if i try to play in window mode.When im running around in the game and im trying to aim at people , sometimes the mouse sticks and i cant move it for a second or two.Ive tried using diff mouse drivers and even a diff mouse.ive messed around to no end with grafix settings and this does nothing.Its wrecking my head as to what it is.

Okay this is weird like hell. The only thing we can do now is poking around in the dark.

1. Have you tried both nexuiz.exe and nexuiz-sdl.exe?

2. Can you try changing your mouse from USB to PS/2 (or back)?

3. Check your mainboard drivers for new version. I know this sounds like completely far away from your problem, but you can never know...

Another thing I'd like to know is how the "mouse-crash" feels, is it like a sudden, hard crash or is it getting ropy and stops then?

Dear Gentlemen,

first of all thank you for the great game.

Unfortunatelly i´m having performance problems since the update from 2.1 to 2.2.1. It became better with update to 2.2.2, but the frame rate is maybe 25% of what it used to
be with 2.1, even when i turn all settings to low or off. There are also lags happening every few seconds. This happens in the campaign mode too, so there is no connection to the internet access speed.

I`m using a Nvidia Geforce 6800 2 Go with 256MB Video RAM together with a 2GHz Centrino and 1GB RAM.

Thank you very much!

Hi Irrlicht.

Hard to belive 2.2.1 got slower.. i have a nv6600gt and did not notice such a thing. Are you totally sure your config.cfg did not change? Maybe you can install 2.2.2 and 2.1 in parallel (two different directories) and compare performance and the config.cfg files for both. Maybe you installed a new driver version in the mean time that did affect performance.

Hey Pokey.

Can you try to open the ingame console (with shift-escape) and enter
gl_finish 1
there and see if this helps? (0 is the default, if it does not help you can set it back). It makes the CPU wait for the graphic card and sometimes helps with strange lag problems.. However if that helps the real reason are some bad drivers.. (meaning there is nothing we can do beside to tell you to use that setting. Its off by default as its then nicer on multitasking systems..)
