Freezes are fun...

Nerp! · 07-13-2010, 06:29 AM

Everytime I play on a server I get a 5 seconds freeze when the first wave starts (after the freeze I already got surrounded by clots which is fun!) and another freeze when I see the first speciman of a wave.
But still when I survived the first freezes there are still more coming every wave!
Siren spawns - freeze
Stalker spawns - freeze
Scrake spawns - freeze
Every other specimen that spawns causes a 3 - 7 second freeze too
When I survived until the 8th wave the freezes caused be spawning specimen stop... but when that is happening I already gave up and play other games...

On singleplayer I don't get these constant freezes only on MP.
Everything happend after the last patch.

Sounds like lag spikes or connection interuptions, are you playing on high ping servers? Is your internet connection having problems at all?

Nerp! · 07-13-2010, 07:01 AM

ping is around 80
Never had this problem on other games

Do you have precaching off? If so that could be the cause of your problem.

Nerp! · 07-13-2010, 07:27 AM

precaching is on.
Or did the update change the precache in the ini?

I've the same problem, really fun as Nerp! says...

I think I've the precaching on:
bNeverPrecache=false

No it didn't. But in theory, nothing in the patch changed that should have caused this for some users.
