Well, the clock just means "please wait...". It appears while changing to the next level or if your connection lags too much. Latter is mostly clientside (from own experiences).

To make this clock appear less, just close your P2P, Outlook, kill your room mates or anything else which could strangle your internet connection while playing. If nothing mentioned will help, change your internet provider.

Heheh, love it.. thank you for that xD

One other thing is that it might be the server that have problems. I've recently experienced lags too on certain servers and when I disconnect and connect it usually dissapears for a little time but then it comes back. And I have 10/10 mbit so I doubt it's my line :P Though my computer is increadibly f*ed up so. I will reinstall i on monday and install Kororaa ^_^

I get that problem sometimes when my laptop overheats. My ping is find (about 150) and nobody else is using the cable connection, and my wireless LAN connection is solid...but I get the clock because my video card is flaking out. It happens sometimes.

It turns out that my wireless router (actually it is not mine but it belongs to the lady who owns this house that I am renting from) is not working. It is suddenly dropping lots of packets. My ping frequently spikes way up. Nexuiz is almost impossible to play online because I constantly see the clock symbol.

Hopefully, I'll get back to playing Nexuiz again soon :-(

Are you using WLAN by any chance?

Well you can take a look at the fps with showfps 1 in the console and i also think its somewere in the Options/player menu.
You can log everything thats written to the ingameconsole with the startup parameter -condebug or in the console with log_file NAME.TXT but this seems more like a drivers or hardware problem.
You can try a few (normaly not needed) options that might help with some buggy hardware and drivers.. gl_finish 1
gl_lockarrays 0
gl_combine 0

But i really think this has some other causes. Yeah its strange that Nexuiz seems to be the only game affected by it by Nexuiz does just access the network like all other games too and there are no knows bugs in it that would cause such problems. Maybe your router does have some strange problems with Nexuiz but thats hard to imaging. Also i never had similar problems under linux nor running windows.

Well you can enable the logfile like mentioned above and enable the network debug logging but i'm not sure it will tell much. Do you have this problem on every server or just some? And did you check like the others mentioned that no other application does interfere?

Thats not a real error, has nothing to do with the problem and can be ignored..
