Recently installed XP 64 bit and now my ET sounds are delayed, I know with the default config everything is fine but even without changing any of the s_ commands I still have this problem. Just what could be causing this? :(
check other games, music, youtube etc but still i would say its drivers. win xp x64 is kinda shit, couldnt find half of drivers
fixed problem for me if i made et HIGH priority
I'm getting more and more confident in that it is a driver issue, argh. If only win 7 wasn't so shit this would have an easy fix -_-
UPDATE:
running the older drivers and so far so good, not tested it on a server with 48 ping though so we'll have to see...
I'm switching between 75 and 60 at the mo, but of course changing the resolution as 1920x1080 = 60 here
:(
Seems it's such a common thing then :( I've never really worried about the refresh rate, or at least haven't noticed a huge difference personally so can't really comment :D
Have you tried thisFollow these instructions at your own risk.
Follow them _exactly_ and you should expose refresh rates above the standard ones.
[1.] Download below software and install both.
softMCCS from here http://www.entechtaiwan.com/lib/softmccs.shtm
Moninfo http://www.entechtaiwan.com/util/moninfo.shtm
[2.] Create a working folder for your new driver, eg. "Monitor" on your desktop.
[3.] Run softMCCS
Make sure your monitor is selected in the box at the top left of softMCCS window.
Go File Menu, Save EDID as, Select Raylar EDID from save as type drop down list. Locate the working folder which you created before. Click save.
Close softMCCS.
[4.] Run Moninfo.
In the Monitor Asset Manager window, go File menu, Open.
Select the file you saved before in the "Monitor" folder, open.
*Notice In Display ID's [File] is selected*
Go File menu, create INF. Click Save. (to "Monitor" folder)
[5.] Open the created INF.
You can change the following values to match your monitors maximum resolution;
[MODE1]
HKR,,MaxResolution,,"xxxx,xxxx"
[OVERRIDDEN-EDID.AddReg]
HKR,"MODES\xxxx,xxxx"
Save File.
Well done you should have successfully created your new monitor driver.
[6.] Establish if your monitor is plug and playing or not.
Note* As far as I can work out, it has to be non plug and play for this solution to work.
Right click desktop, Screen Resolution, Advanced settings, Monitor tab.
Note* If the monitor type is not "Non Plug and Play monitor" or similar and you update the driver it probably wont work. *
Note* If you get stuck here, please section [7.] below. *
Click Properties, Driver tab, Update Driver, Browse my computer for driver software.
Let me pick from a list.......
De-select Show compatible hardware tick box.
Click Have Disk...
Click Browse, Open monitor.inf which you created before.
Proceed with driver install.
Restart Windows and hopefully you can enjoy your extra smooth display modes!
[7.] Further help if needed.

Question about the refresh then: If I'm using 1920x1080 @ 60hz windowed and I use r_mode 6 fullscreen in game, would ET be taking the 60hz refresh, or whatever the 1024x768 is? :-/
(i use a lcd 120hz now)
Enter your own cfg commands little by little to see what causes it
E:hits are delayed as well, i hit people when they run behind the wall :D
choose there a sound bookmark and The Hardware Sound Acceleration set to Full Acceleration or smth like that, i don't remember but it's the max possibility
dunno exactly on XP, but on w7 it used to be running x86 applications with right sound and video settings.
