Some Mouse And Video Issues.

LuisX · August 2003

<div class="IPBDescription">Please help :)</div> Hey guys, Ive been playing this mod for a while, and I have some video/mouse issues with Half Life in general, perhaps you guys can help?

I apologize if this thread belongs somewhere else.

Basically, if I have fps_max at anything higher than 30, everytime I use my mouse, or any command, I experience some sort of lag that is independant of my ping. This happens also when I am using a welder on any structure, the particles seem to "accelerate" my video card, and it makes everything sluggish again. Its as if I were playing on cl_predict 0.

Also, everytime I get disconnected, and I go back to the server listing built it in Half Life, I have to quit the game and restart it, because if I do not, when I go back to the console or game, it displays a recursive console background display, or other weird video effects.

This are my system specs:

Athlon 2.0 XP
1 Gig DDR Ram
Windows XP
Atlus MotherBoard
Geoforce 5200 FX

Thanks in advance!

*shrug* no idea, other than the usual "download the latest drivers".

You might want to try the tech support forum, if this thread doesn't get moved.

I don't know if this will solve anything but only use NS in OpenGL since the idiots at Valve obviously don't know how to code in D3D.

Exactly, why use an open cross-platform-able grafx library when you can impawn your soul to Micro$oft?!
/me sets irony mode off
Despite the fact that Valve licensed the Quake I engine from ID I think they had enough other game specific things in this time to work on than coding another renderer in DX...
@ Topic: Try switching EAX support on or deactivate mouse acceleration in windows. That fixed the problem so far for me.
