Hi!
This is related to my thread in the forums (http://www.crossfire.nu/threads/47483/game-starts-lagging-after-playing-2-or-3-maps). I am still having a terrible lag problem as seen below from the lagometer which - I found out in the meantime - means that my client is not interpreting the snapshots from the server correctly and therefore the frames are extrapolated (my system tries to render more frames than necessary).
(Lagometer explained: http://www.esaw2012.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=1622)
Is there perhaps someone out there playing ET on win 8.1 with a GTX 400-series card or whatever nvidia GTX card for that matter? I believe my problem could be solved if only I could get ahold of such a cfg and the correct nvidia panel settings. Someone please help me, I would really love to play some pickup matches but I'm useless with this lag issue:)

Anyway, if I ran et on my laptop in the past on one core (0) than I had lag.
While If I let it run on all 4(*2=8, but 4 virtual) it worked like a charm.
= contradiction to what is known of et.
and ty u r the 1st guy who got my cfg xD

try this
Edit: which drivers are you using btw? I just remembered that Nvidia had some serious driver issues with 400/500 series cards, and they only managed to fix them last January. Maybe worth a try even though the problems were browser related?

If that doesn't work, do the rest.
Yes, I had the same problem.
Fucking annoying windows 8.1.
1) Never update your os from a windows store (app).
2) Windows 8.1 has ALOT of bugs, fatal bugs. Even more as 8.0, which absolutely makes no sense (for example google: '8.1 black screen' or '8.1 explorer.exe fail')
3) How to fix that annoying lag?
- Disable thread optimization in nvidia drivers and u will be good.
- cl_packetdup 2 (since maybe your net just sucks...)
- REMOVE your profile's etconfig.cfg. = pathToEtmainOfWolfenstein>etmain>profile>etconfig.cfg>delete it.
You do the same for etpro>profile>etconfig.cfg delete it.
4) Now in the cfg you will be loading after you deleted this and restarted et (and made a new profile in et itself), make sure to delete:
seta s_mixahead
seta s_mixPreStep
from YOUR cfg.
This is known to cause some weird spikes.
5) download gamebooster 3, and run it before you game. All programs that don't need to run for your game, will be shut down..
gl
Anyway, besides that, those are good things to try.
its always for the worst
set all nvidia settings to OFF or except the one that says comformant texture clamp
enable "prefer maximum performance mode"
run ET as admin.
Thanks for all your help and input and shame on me x))
