I installed hi res rocks ,textures ,bases, yesterday and it looks
$#@!ingfantastic .
but i don't know if this is lag or the textures?
Players were jumping all over the place /ninja.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ninja:" border="0" alt="ninja.gif" />
i was shooting ships in front of me the next second they was 1200k away /blink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":o" border="0" alt="blink.gif" />
it was happening a lot.
I was in front of green door just about to enter Then Poof I'm 300 k away.
I put my textures down to 256, not sure if that will help,
So is it lag or not ?
I'm not sure what lag is ?
My fps are about 61 is that good or bad ?

well u may have some experience posting in helpline...

If u can see ur FPS(alt-f) u should be able to see your lag as well, post this if u want a good answer.

The textures don't induce lag, only FPS so if ur running a high texture tolerance with 62 fps ur ok.
I run 75 fps in 1024scr size with 2048 texture tolerance. But running in lower settings don't stop the lagging.

Thats all i can help you with.. plz post more facts.

Do you really need two sigs?

One is constant, one is rotating.

What size vid card do you have?

Also, if it is the textures killing the framerate, try the 1024^2 textures instead of the 2048^2 ones, they are 1/4 the size of the full ones. If that is still too much, we can talk about making a 512 version for you.

61 fps is great though, so it sounds more like a lag problem to me.

Thanx.

i have never experienced lag like this before R3

First off... ITS a MYTH that R3 are lagging more then R2.
This MYTH is produced by people that have none or little experience with network, but they have a tendency to cause hystreria!!.

In the Aft-F view u can see the server IP.
U can Ping this IP in your command promt.
Or use a service on the internet there is a lot of webpages that performe Connection check. Google!!
If u have further technical question regarding Lag, please ask in help line or CHECK THE KNOWLEDGEBASE.

To improve your connection.
First buy a better connection, prefer ADSL/Cable Upload is the key get at least 256 Upload and at least 256 Download.
Then chose a Strong server with a low response time and a good connection.

to kill the lag you can try to kill some running process
when i had a low end computer it helped a lot
