Minor issues with gameplay

bighead

First to start off, I would like to say hello to everyone as I am a long time NS'er. Off and on again, NS keeps sucking me back in!

Ive been playing alot more recently and noticed when I am a skulk, marine, or any other alien, if I click and hold my mouse1 to attack, that it will skip an animation. Another weird thing, is that sometimes, my energy bar wont even move. Now this has caused me some trouble, being it life or death.

Anyone have any suggestions?

There is an issue that some have described as "mouse lag" that can be fixed sometimes by setting the HL proccess to low priority. You have to do it everytime you start the game but it helps some people.

AS for the "energy bar" thing... No clue, are you saying you can run out of adrenaline but the HUD shows you have full?

I know the problem.

for a check set your fps to 76
updaterate to 38
cmdrate to 81

does it still do it?

For me, frames are "skipped" whenever I have, say, fps_max 100. The numbers suggested above are good. So is fps_max 111, which is what I have. For it to work, you also need developer 1 set.
