I frequent a few servers that usually have very good pings and there seems to be little or no cheating. But for some reason, (on one of the servers for sure) it gets laggy when i battle with another player close, whether its shotty, pistol, or rifle. It makes it pretty hard to kill someone when i am close to them, usually i end up facing the wrong way and getting killed from my back or something. Almost like the fps drops to 1 or something. Just wondered if anyone else gets this? My ping is always under a 100, usually around 40. My system is a AMD 1.5mhz, Nvidia 4400, and 512mb ram.

Thanks in advance for any responses...

join the club i get that on some servers and i have a 2.6mht p4 with 1gig ram 128mb mx440 gforce 4 card and a 1mb conection it just happens

if it gets unbearable drop your graphic settings as this can be the main cause

This only happens to me when someone is using the flakgun in Berlin or Flughafen (sp?) or occassionally when someone uses the MG42. I tried lowering all my video settings but that doesn't seem to make a difference (plus the game looks like crap). I'm running a 1.8mhz Pentuum, 1 gig RDRAM and a nvidia geforce3. All drivers up to date. I have to exit the game and return for it to clear up.

I think its a feature of Spearhead on account of the fact that MOHAA was far too bug free.

[Bazooka_Joe]

I really don't expirence this much anymore. Dumb question, but you are using the V2.11 of Spearhead, right?

[Slavko]

I am not using spearhead....yet.

[Bazooka_Joe]

Oh, so it's MOH, ok.

Then are you using V1.11?

[Slavko]

Yes I am using 1.11, and my video drivers are updated and I have recently upgraded to directx9...no help, no harm.

I'm just throwing this out there...

In order to use DX 9 don't you have to have hardware that supports it? Maybe your lag is caused by your video card struggling with DX 9?

I upgraded to DX 9 and it cleared up my problems, which were quite similiar to the ones stated above. That doesn't appear to be your problem though. I have a lower end vid card (32mb AIW Radeon) and it doesn't struggle at all with DX 9.

Just something else to consider in the discussion.

the only problems i have had are the lagging....and i have had that since i got back into mohaa:aa after a 3 month layoff...been playing regularly the last 3-4 weeks prob...
and i just recently upgraded my vid drivers and directx...it sure helped out my 3dmark score!!!

but i have noticed only minimal if any improvement and no negative affects yet.

...and it seems to happen mostly when smg's or rockets get in close to me...really weird. FPS goes from 95 down to 15 or so.
