new problem in Toadvision 1.32

[chilli]

since i installed the latest version, i experience a weird thing: the game runs fine and dandy but after 5 mins it start stuttering a lot. (the ping was correct, and my pc wasnt overheating i checked).
so i reinstalled toadvision without weapons zoom, sonar etc, even deleted manually the water textures. but the problem is still here.

then i switched in the options the texture detail to 60% and it was smooth again! (but well its quite ugly now).
Toad are your textures more detailed in the last version or what? could you help please :)

Did erasing the water files help at all?

Also are you using the ultra de-fog files?

Did you install both de-fog files (did you click on both fog options)? That will kill your machine.

I doubt it is the textures slowing you down (maybe the water, but not the others). If it is than you need a new card.

i got rid of water files and i installed the normal de-fog.. still there's a problem appearing after 5 mins..and no i dont need a new card the game is running fine with toadvision 1.31 :)
maybe the fact you removed sniper reticle? i dunno..i'll try to remove all textures then that will tell if its related or not..

chilli,

I found something that will cause studdering during online games. A friend of mine was specing me during a online game and I had bad studdering lag. I asked him to stop and it stopped, when he started again the studder lag started again. Why it happens I don't know but it makes it easy for me to tell when I am being watched which is actualy a good thing.

Perhaps you have drawn to much attention to yourself and now your being watched.

ROFL now that would be weird..no seriously i dont think its related all, since i experience the same lag(and even worse) in buildings when i'm alone :)

Hehe, Chili,

I think you misunderstood me, I don't mean a player watching you I am taking about someone not playing but spectating you.

i didnt think you could spec in bf42. You mean when you die and are in "ghost" mode?

I have a problem with the extreme magnification on the assault weapons. . I have lag when magnified. It is also like that on the pistol. It doesnt bother me with the pistol because when im in mag mode im usually shooting far away with my pistol, otherwise its in normal view. But in medium range combat with my assault rifle, its too hard to shoot. Is there a way to fix this manually? I would also like to make the water normal without fudging the fog hack, is that possible? Those would be a few things to address in the next version.

Wreck, to switch back to normal water textures for a map,
-go to battlefield1942/texturesets/bf1942/[mapyouwant]/
-remove inside that folder all the water*.* files

Thanks, thats gonna suck to do it to all the maps....Think I might wait for the new Toadvision....

the problem with zoom has nothing to do with the water.
