Q3 First Impressions

[Mr B]

Right,

I played my first Q3a last night - and I have a few comments to make.

1) Why does the game stop when you die for 1/2 a second or so?
2) Why does the RG/LG lag so much? ie. firing the RG is like waving a stick of celery around the place.

I'm on ISDN (AsusCom Internal TA) and using a P-III-500 with a GeForce gfx card.

Apart from those 2 minor points I think it's a pretty cool game...and I'll need a LOT more practice (mainly because I'm a Q2CTF-llama atm - and haven't played QW for about 18 months)

..big shout to the 2 HooD lads I was playing with last night (oo-er obviously)

the game stops beacuse its loading new character models when u die

set the rate console command to 6000 to improve connection

umm thats strange about the railing, considering i'm a modemer and railing seems fine on a ping of 140. Thought about changing ur rate? Also try :
seta model "your model"
seta cg_forceModel "1"
this will use the same model for all the players, bit of a cheat but helps fps and stops it from loading skins every time the the scoreboard comes up.

 

[Mr B]

Thanx for all the help.

I kinda assumed that if I put ISDN in the connection type it would adjust the rate for me...it was set on 2500

I can now rail properly...and all models are now the same...

Bit shite that really though....any news of it being fixed in anyone's .plan?

I wouldnt be too impressed with the current HooD clan tbh, if you know what they did to the rest of us (Former HooD's).

And what we did for them, alot..

Plus, after then joining NME, they quit Q2.

Spose i could join CS seems Rob kindly offered me a place b4 i joined NME.

Ignore me tho, just annoyed (as you would be.. wouldnt you?)

Yep, that does sound shite Apea, haet that sort of thing. Had clan problems meelf on and off the past few months and its finally settling down now.
