here we go again :(
Look at this (pic) and honestly tell me why we accept shit like this in the game we all came to love as being the best "Teamplay based FPS" ever. People are whining about PB, hitboxes, shitty mousefeeling, lags, unhittable poltards and all sorts of things,why is it becoming worse and worse? Because of this shit software that has to scan your PC every few seconds. YES pb_sleep 500, pb_security 0 and running ET on HIGH priority doesn't do shit to smoothen the gameplay. The usage still jumps every 2 seconds from 55-85% CPU usage even if you're standing still. Can't we do something about this? Cheaters and whiners aren't killing the game, PB is. Quake/Live doesn't lag, it's even smooth with all kinds of r_displayrefresh and FPS settings. Isn't ET based on the Quake 3 engine, why is it getting more unbearable after each update? Is PB trying to kill ET, or are they just not aware of how they are fucking people over by giving them the worst gaming experience for one of the greatest free games ever made..
This has really gotta stop, they are ruining ET, willingly or unwillingly. Fact is:
We have to do something!
What do you think about this?

sup
just suck man
:):):)
sooo whats the prob?
to set it higher in task manager works fine for me tbh... i only have the "usual" pblags
serious question ...
playing on a pb serv vs non-pb serv feels like playin on a fresh new pc
bet you know who I was then, was writing more then playing :D
Note #2: The ET client is now at v2.153, and some of the more recent updates were specifically to address CPU usage problems. Are you still experiencing this with the most recent update, and are the servers you are connecting to also updated as well?
Tried a fresh ET install (et folder was over 3gb), the old fashioned way with the patches which fixed the sound problem, and helped with the fps drops but only very slightly.. they seem less regular now and only drop me to 45fps rather than 25. Still unacceptable but every little helps.
It lags for me even on empty servers, and playing on servers like Hirntot or UK etc I get fps drops.. I remember having stable 125fps in nexus server back in the days with my AMD 3000+ @ 2.4Ghz and my Asus x850XTP + omega drivers... Now playing on a 40 or 50 slot server is just impossible, the strange lag feeling is just unbearable..
