1.1 "Stuttering" in Multiplayer
Posted: Tue Apr 19, 2005 2:05 am
Ok, we've exhausted all our options (for now) as to what causes this stuttering problem we have in 1.1?
The ground stutters regardless of which aircraft we fly, Russian and American and it doesn't matter whether the game is unmodded or not. Once you get really close to another plane even the aircraft stutters too, although this seems more pronounced with our mod, but also flying the F-15 in general.
We've tried to figure out what is causing this and here's a list of things we have tried:
1> Changing graphics settings to every possible setting (both server and client).
2> Testing every different connection speed avail for multiplayer.
3> Flown every different airplane.
4> Different airports/locations.
5> Smoke gens and without smoke gens.
6> Router or direct connect to the internet.
7> Absolutely no firewalls or security enabled.
8> Different load configs in LOMAC.
9> Different weather, terrain and scenery.
The list goes on and on...
NOTHING has made the stutter go away. This is something that was not in 1.02 and quite frankly makes our formation flying almost impossible. It's a step in the wrong direction and who knows what's causing this. The stutter is something you wouldn't see until your right up against another plane in formation for the most part, but it is extremely annoying at the close quarters we fly! Can't help but wonder if StarForce has anything to do with this, since the network code in 1.02 was rock solid, but in 1.1 the client side gets unbearable stuttering most of the time.
So far after all the testing we've done I have to say we think it's 1.1 and not something our mod nor our connections would cause, since everyone has it (some more than others) and we've flown plenty of flights with completely mod-free installations too.
Anyone have any further ideas?
