probably something to do with lighting..

y i think it's the Lightning Bug

u can buy performance for 0.99$ a month now

oh so that's why the stream is shit

this update has fixed my fps drops but now i get jittery lag.

Thing that pisses me off the most is that some maps are retardedly bright with vertex -.-
Effort to change my config...

might have to upgrade this 2003 piece of shit. but still should be enough to play a 10 year old game. :/

don't underestimate the power of cvar_restart, especially after this update =)

Okay, so since the update on Asylum(ca1) and Quarantine(ca3?) i've got like serious fps drops, i looked it over on the ql forums and there are few people complaining about this shit too, some of which have good PCs. I tried updating my video card drivers, looking over my cfg settings but nothing did work. Any ideas? :<

Same here.. Been having some severe fps drops ingame. Before the patch the game ran fine at 125fps steady, but now it fluxes from even down to 60fps-125fps..

Is this just some patch fuck up or did ID just increase the minimum requirements to satisfy some hardware affiliates they have ? I honestly cant see any difference between QL and Q3, yet QL is about 10x more demanding hardware wise than Q3.. ( Well except for models that perpetually bend their knees, everything else looks exactly the same.. )

like cs 1.5 to 1.6

on my laptop its smooth and its even with vista :O. But my laptop is 4 times faster then my "quake computer". So it might just be that our old q3 machines cant keep up. :/

What fps you get on hektik and levianath?

Not sure ( @ work) , but Im pretty certain the comp is not the problem. ATI Radeon™ HD 5700 , 4gb ram, phenomX4 3.6ghz. Not really a spec wiz but this should be enough for QL @ 125fps :)

Let me know what fps you get on those 2 maps when you get home

hektik 124-5, rather unsteady even though it doesnt really drop further. leviathan 11x-125, a lot more fluxes. Any ideas ?

That's partly the reason this happens, i think.

Damn, so if this is the problem then well have to wait until ID decides to fix it :>

Fkn shit..

Since the update I experienced jittery gameplay with fps not nailed to 125 anymore but instead constantly fluctuating last two digits of the fps due to lightning effects.

Jittering gameplay with postprocess 1 or postprocess 0, no jitter when using postprocess 0 and ignorehwgamma 1. Unfortunately, hwgamma 1 means setting all brightness with only r_gamma thus rendering the game either dark or ugly.

I've always had this, I excepted it as normal until recently when I saw a video of some pro playing with solid 125.
Going to mess around with my config a bit and see if it makes a difference.

Really? I already accepted this also, but since you say it well... hmm

I've always had the problem of the fps not being constant i.e. the last digit like to flash all the time...

And I've got an intel dual core :x

yah, i just put cg_drawfps 0 ;) been having this in different quakes, with different configs, on different pcs.. never got it sorted out.

same here, even on my laptop.
but this is like 70-125 atm.
shaft is impossible.

postprocess 1/0?
priority safer? (google it! and set ff high!)
firefox ql? (faster version for ql based on firefox qry me)

try those... maybe it helps?!

Sorry to dig that up but I just found a fix to my constant stutter.

You guys probably have stuff in your weapon binds.
Set qzconfig.cfg on read only.

Whenever you switch, it overwrites cvars in the config file, hence the constant small stutter.
