I cant tell which it is. Like, I have this problem where everything seems to 'teleport', like ill see stuff moving and it will be animated, and moving, but it will sometimes jump or teleport forward and such. If it was an FPS problem, my screen would be sluggish and so would my looking around, but it isnt. IF it was lag, the pings and such in the server along with my own ping would be rather high, but they arent, they are normal. anyone know what im talking about? its like a cross between lag and FPS where neither of them is the cause of the problem.
Not running EAX, using retail HALFLIFE client, using steam, Happens with all versions of NS.
My specs: AMD Athlon XP 2000+
1.66 GHz
512mb RAM
Microsoft XP Professional Version 2002
ATI RADEON 9600 SERIES 128mb
RES/MODE: open-gl 1600x1200 (ive already checked, the mode and resolution isnt the problem.)
unsure about my sound card.
Edit: Im running on a cable connection. (thought i added that)

I have exactly the same combination and I experienced this "lag" as well, tried to use different drivers, opengl/directX, hl configs and everything but none seem to help. I have also noticed that this lag encounters usually on certain locations on certain maps, like ns_nancy, I think that lags most of any maps. Also fast moving aliens: leap/blink/bunny are the worst.
Anywaytoday I installed old graphics card to my comp: geforce 2 Ti. Have had only little time to test, but it seems to help.. so it must be the Radeon? cards or just the 9600 pro one. I think the old hl engine does not work very well with these "new" radeon cards, but maybe there is some solution for the problem. Please post it here if anyone figures something out.
