Coming back from a hiatus. And I'm MAD! :(

I'm noticing some very annoying key changes. Rest assured, I'm not here about your balance, this stuff is outside balance.

The first thing I noticed, is when I wanted to warmup before a gather (that never started), I went in to a local server to play against bots, because there were no European servers at the time.

But I noticed a lot of stuff has apparently changed.

1. I for some reason was not 'authorized' to use sv_cheats 1 on my own local server.
2. I could not remove autoteambalance, so I could only fight 2 bots at a time.
3. Pregame plus was forced on me. (So I'm forced to use 3-3). Edit: I don't have that mod!

This stuff really ruins my warmup routine.

FYI: I deleted my workshop folder and I only subscribe to NS2+.

OK, but if that was all, I wouldn't bother making a thread about it. However, on top of this stuff, I notice in-game that my framerate randomly drops to exactly 60 fps for a period of something that feels like 4-5 seconds. In this period it also locks my weapon switching of all things.

I have geforce 970 and i5-6600K @ 3.5Ghz on win10. I'm usually 150+ fps in lategame.

And last but not least. For some reason you have disabled the ability to hotkey marines... Please add an option to revert this, because I use those hotkeys to navigate with.

    Use cheats 1 instead.

    #1 is nothing new. It is annoying but you have to set yourself up as an admin in the config. It has been that way as long as I can remember. You must have set it up when you played before, but not this time.
    #2 and #3 are related to a recent change. You could turn off autoteambalance in the server config files, or via console commands if you had admin powers. If you had admin powers and used cheats 1 the round would have started, and pregameplus would have been a non issue.

    Solution: Manually make yourself an admin for your local server via the server config files.

    On your performance issues, are they related to this maybe?

    *Moved to tech support*

    Most of those "issues" sound like your configs got reset.

    @Nordic I don't know... you tell me! All I know is it lags.

    Just to be pedantic, the vanilla pregame mode is called Warmup. There is no way to configure it or disable it through vanilla AFAIK. Pregame+ still exists and has more options to configure if you want that type of gameplay. You can also use PG+ to disable pregame fighting entirely if you want.

    This should still be possible AFAIK. Could it be that NS2+ has disabled click selecting marines for you? If so, do area select instead.

    @Keats Yes I disabled click selection myself on purpose ages ago. I can select a marine right now, I just cannot put him on a hotkey.

    @SantaClaws Sorry I realized after I posted that you were not likely to forget about NS2+. Like I said I am fairly sure you can still hotkey marines, but not 100% sure. I will try myself when I can. Or the A+ 10/10 playtester @Nordic can do it.

    EDIT just checked, definitely still hotkeyable

    I just formatted my PC and all the issues are now resolved. Using cheats 1 of course resolves the first 3. My lagging issue didn't reoccur and for some reason I can group marines again after reinstall.

    If you're still having fps issues, try the very latest nvidia driver.
    version *.63 was giving people horrible fps drops that lasted a few sec (myself included) and after 5 days of that driver being out Nvidia released a new one that supposedly fixes it.

    @IronHorse that might have been it then. Since I reformatted my PC I just installed the newest driver.
