1.33 beta - Sometimes the game starts stutterring when it shouldn't

[Tigger6]

I can't really explain this well. It happened to me twice already, shortly after spawning in for the first time both times, that the game starts suttering with FPS around 70-100 (i.e. way out of stutter range). At some point it simply goes away and the game is smooth again, even when FPS drops to 2 digits.

I have a nvidia gtx275 and a OCed i7 920..

Anyone has similar issues?

Do you by chance have the low memory option on?

[Lob12]

yeah it happened to me too, gonna test more

[AHWULF]

Doesn't happen to most people, so there must be something that triggers this.

[Tigger6]

Nope, low memory disabled. (I have 18GB of memory)

I restarted the game and it went away. Last time it went away when I turned Fraps on, this time it persisted even if I did that. V-sync is off.

Have you tested it with v sync on?

Stutter or occasional frame lock?

Last night I was noticeing a very short....just barely noticable pause or frame lock, but just randomly.

Also noticed TO was occasionaly warping, we were walking to dinant from the fb.

TO had CTD twice walking in so I had decieded to walk it with him to see if we'd simo CTD.....1st try we both did CTD same instance (we were on TS).

2nd walk in though, same path no CTD.

But I did notice TO would occasionaly warp back 8 or 10 paces then warp back to proper distance.

It was then I noticed the pauses or frame locks. I mentioned it to TO, he said yea he was seein it too.

Seemed to be incync so I kinda assume it was the server.

No. It's random, I can't reproduce it on purpose.

Tried this walk but got no CTD. Were there any people fighting in Dinant or nearby?

[Tigger6]

My problem is not the server though. For instance when I just look around the movement is choppy. Sometimes the scene tears a bit too. I have it on fraps but it's kind of hard to see, it just looks like 10 fps when in fact fraps say 60 and game ~30. (This is weird too, before fraps would say the same as the game)

Yea was last night while you were in dinant.

His 1st run he ctd, 2nd I think he got there and set a fru then ctd on geting killed.

3rd walkin I went with him and we both ctd about 1.5m north of town.

his 4th walkin, my 2nd we both made it in ok.

We are running almost identical rigs cept dift brands of ram and dift brands of 260gtx vid cards.

If people were dying it was probably the ragdoll ctd, which randomly would get a subset of the people in the area. Try this again with .10.

least i never seen an ei or heard a shot that could indicate my being shot.
