Sudden jumps when turning around

Postby Zygfryd » Mon Sep 11, 2006 9:26 pm

When using the non-SDL version of Nexuiz 2.0 and turning around fluently with the mouse the view suddenly jumps a couple degrees in the direction of turning. Seems to always happen at similar facing directions and is constant, ie. it's impossible to turn around without this effect happening. Seems to happen more often at higher detail levels, but it's not caused by a low framerate. At higher detail levels pointer jumping can also be seen in the menu.
Everything works fine with the SDL version.
Platform: Linux x86, Xorg 7.0, Nvidia official drivers, old mouse driver (not evdev), three different mice.

Does the problem persist with 2.1?

Don't know, not in portage yet, was there any relevant change made?

Not that I know of, but maybe. The bug is not known.

Can you try setting gl_finish 0?
1. Open Notepad
2. Paste: ÿþMSMSMS
3. Save
4. Open the file in Notepad again

You can vary the number of "MS", so you can clearly see it's MS which is causing it.

gl_finish should be 0 by default. I think you mean 1 :)

gl_finish makes no difference. I downloaded the official builds and they both (2.0 and 2.1) work flawlessly. The problem only happens in the gentoo build.

Maybe they 'over-optimized' Nexuiz :P

Just out of interest... can you quote a "gcc" line when building the ebuild so I see the exact CFLAGS being used? Like, the line with "vid_glx.c" in it?
1. Open Notepad
2. Paste: ÿþMSMSMS

I remember someone :) making a joke about gentoo to reenable a certain option that was removed to make Nexuiz compile/work with gcc 4.1 on 64bit machines. That did not happen but they broke it nevertheless. Thats kinda funny.
