I'm wierd and I like to run the game in a 640x480 window.

That is pretty weird.

So when Splash Damage was starting on, really early with Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars, they were looking at some of these different ways to render the outdoor scenes with different blends and things like that. And one of my early suggestions to them was that they consider looking at an approach wher...

Yeah, you guys have seen me. I play almost every night. I bounce around the servers, so no telling where you might have seen me. I do play on Cranework, Q4Riot, others, and of course my server too, "Fracturezone.com 8 is enough". I think it's worth mentioning that I don't believe I experie...

Ever feel like: One particular(or more then one) player is insanely hard to hit? You know you picked up that rocketlauncher before he did? You were around the corner and in the next room, but got railed? You figured out how much to aim ahead by, but now maps obsticles are in your adjusted line of f...

Is it fixed yet? Is the game fixed ? Sorta, not really. Although, I at this point after weeks of piddling with this game, I have finally got the game to run very well, stable, and the performance is really pretty good. I don't have any MAJOR issues with the way the game runs. That's not to say I do...

I believe you. Just seems odd. I suppose, the screen and the mouse / cursor / crosshair.... have to be in sync for it to register properly. In other words if you move the mouse inbetween a redraw, it has to finish the draw before it can update where the crosshair is supposed to be. That's me specula...

Thanks Freak. I was wondering how that was done.

BTW, I have a good time on your server. Nice work with all the maps, etc...

I noticed a night or two ago, that the server name says, 1.1, when in fact you guys are running Q4Max. Do you switch back and forth between the two ?

I have thought about letting my kid play q4 with me, he's 6. He can handle the mouse and all pretty well, he's been ON the computer, so to speak, all his life, but I don't think I want to expose my kid to "GIBS" just yet. I don't think he's old enough to understand exploding people. The vo...

Switched to a refresh rate of 85, I don't notice any change at all.
Really "looked" for a difference too.


Jagou

Why the hell and how is VYSNC related to mouse response ?

Jagou

You have your thumb over the sidebuttons?

Thumb would hit the left button and pinky would hit the right button....I have big hands.

I probably, with enough time, could get used to the Razer, but I'm satisfied with the MX518. It's been really nice so far.

I was into Farcry when I got the Diamondback (won in a contest) gave it a good solid try, at least a week before I gave up. My problem was, I kept hitting the side buttons unintentionally. I needed or wanted the extra buttons in the game, for throwing grenades, activating binocs, etc... but I'd hit ...

I have several mice... Razer Diamondback, an older Intellimouse Explorer, MX700, MX1000, and a MX518. I never could get used to the button layout on the Razer, the MX700 was / is awesome, my wife uses it still,the Intellimouse was a good mouse, but I wore the pads off the bottom, the MX1000 is great...

r_displayrefresh

Q4 says....not allowed in multi-player.

Am I missing something ?

Jagou

Displayrefresh isn't forced to 60 in Q4.

I was saying that I had forced it using the driver utility.

I'll try a higher refresh rate and see if I can notice any difference.

Jagou

I dont know how anybody can run at 60hz that drives me nuts,the flicker really bothers me

The refresh rate is forced to 60, ONLY in the game.

In Windows it would be very very noticeable.

I have never been able to notice any flicker in game with that setting.

Jagou

I too would love to see a stats generator. That'd be awesome.

"net_clientusercmdbackup" As far as I know, this sets the number of "retry packets" that get sent to the server from the client. I think it sends 5 by default. With this set to 5, packetloss is unlikely since it gets so many tries to send the same packet. So, in other words, you ...

I think I finally got rid of my weird video lag in MP, with lots of players. I forced the refresh rate to 60 for the res that I run. Set through "force refresh rates" in display properties for the video card. Option is in the menu for Nvidia cards, not sure about ATI. I also notice a big d...

On the ping thing, a little more info... Do a ping to the server's IP like this... ping -t -l 128 72.226.12.39:28004 >quakeping.txt Replace with the servers real IP of course. This will do a continuous ping to the ip on the specific port, with a byte size of 128, change the number to whatever you wa...

where did this morsel of info come from?

Seen on ESR.

*bump*

How do I get "in game" chat to echo into the server console ? Is that possible ?

Jagou

Same error message here every time (not authorized to view this page, both FF and IE). The URL was changing earlier...just someone at id, messing with us. It's just a test site after all. something someone found that the public wasn't supposed to see yet. Anyhoo.... waiting somewhat impatiently for...

Anybody know how to get chat to echo in a dedicated server window ?

Jagou

browse over the first post in this thread and noting what I need to revise? Maybe a note at the bottom about the map files needing to be in a folder named "q4base" for autodownload to work ? See my post earlier in this same thread for explanation. *edit, and yes, thanks for the info. It h...
