It's called lag.-=VcL.Rogue wrote:z-man, can you plz fix the lag-o-meter? they get huge sometimes for no reason at all, and a lot of ppl experience this problem. my ping is always below 100 and everyones lag meter including mine, gets so big it almost fills up the whole grid.
If you don't like the lag-o-meter or know how to correctly use it/why it's valuable, then I suggest turning it off:
Code: Select all
LAG_O_METER 0

Already done, but it's a serverside fix, so you'll need to bug your server admin to install a version brought up to date with the 0.2.8 bzr branch.
Don't know if this is the appropriate place for this, if so please correct me.
I just dled 2.8.3 (from the above link on SF) and weeeheeey ==>
1/ Huge FPS improvement on my MacBook! I used to get about 30-40fps average going down to 10-15 on crowded servers/complex maps (using 0.3 and standard moviepack), NOW i'm at around 150fps constant. \o/
2/ The game regularly "locks up" : i get huge 2-3sec slowdowns, often at the start of a round
3/ is there any way to get the 3.0 cockpit and/or minimap in 2.8.3
4/ (ideally) Anyone know what my FPS problem is with 0.3.0 and if it's locally fixable?

No, but it's in bzr. But it's serverside, so your client version does not matter (unless it is 0.2.8.2.1 or earlier, which ignores the lag reports from the server).
Never seen them. Can you send a debug recording?Sithy wrote:2/ The game regularly "locks up" : i get huge 2-3sec slowdowns, often at the start of a round

I think that's what he meant when he said:serverdetails wrote:Armagetron Classic »High Rubber« (67.222.147.18:4535) running 0.2.8.3_beta2 unix dedicated, url: http://VcL-clan.com, Description: “Great settings for High Rubber Dogfight and basic High Rubber game play.“, Players (0/8):

I still have a copy of said settings if you're interested.

Slowdowns here and there from the start, getting worse towards the end (it usually takes a few minutes for slowdowns to be really harsh - "lockups")
Debug recording: http://sithy.free.fr/arma/armagetronad- ... 090421.log (8.2Mb)
Settings: http://sithy.free.fr/arma/armagetronad- ... 21.tar.bz2 (32kb)
Running fine with default settings
Debug recording: http://sithy.free.fr/arma/armagetronad- ... 090421.log (7.8Mb)
Settings: http://sithy.free.fr/arma/armagetronad- ... 21.tar.bz2 (12kb)
*I noticed slight slowdowns both runs around T=580, probably due to the debug log getting a little large
edit: you can't see the slowdowns when playing back the recording with decent settings. I guess that confirms that it does indeed have something to do with the settings

Re: 0.2.8.3_beta2 available!
Thanks for the data. Most probably, SWAP_MODE is the setting causing the slowdowns. It's on 'Fastest' in the bad config and the safe 'Finish' setting in the good default config. The 'Fastest' setting can cause output lag, frames piling up in the GPU output buffer, and the recording looks like that's the case. The menu doc does warn about that
