For some reason my fps just decided to start being a problem the past couple days. It's always been steadily at 80-90 fps even in the heat of battle... but now sometimes... and I mean sometimes... it decides to run at max 50fps and drop to 20-30 fps. It does this occasionally... and no outside programs are running... just wondering if anyone had the same problems or knows how to fix it? :oops:

whats your choke/loss?

it might have something to do with internet connection, for like 2-3 days last week i was having the same problem because my internet was running at like half its normal speed.

I don't really notice any choke/loss... Ill keep a close eye on it though

basically, go to funmaps and just rush everytime. start spraying while in the midst of crossfire. Mainly watch your choke during this. It should still remain from 0-1 (mine goes up to 10 but I used to play with 100choke so I can handle it)

also, just whenever you have a chance in game, watch your loss. If you are getting loss, I always lower my "rate" but 1000 until it's a constant 0 (no exceptions to 0 here). Start at 25000 and go down. If you have this setting too high, the computer/connection tries to use more bandwidth than you have. basically, loss sucks.

Make sure you don't have any other programs running. ctr + alt + delete, go to processes tab, and make sure there aren't any gay programs running.

If none of this works, run a virus scan with the most pimped out virus scanner you can get your "E-hands" on and pwn your computer first in normal mode, then safe mode if you find anything. Clap came to us (n4b) and someone suggested a virus scan. It ended up he had a load of viruses.

and if this doesn't work, I can say that I have no clue, but go to the forums at www.caleague.com this is where I first heard about interp and rates before it was every brought to n00bfest. (even back when I was more nub than I am!)

Call your ISP?

:idea: I guess one more thing to try: I think it was you who kept telling me that low cl_updaterates and cl_cmdrates are good. So if it was, try turning your rates up to cl_updaterate 35 and cl_cmdrate 35. (correct me if I'm wrong about the cmdrate, but the updaterate at 35 works perfectly for me/my internet settings. 1 choke in heavy combat) If you have these settings too low, you may get loss (:?:), but you are restricting the bandwidth from you to the server.

oh btw, I pwn.period

I generally keep cmdrate/updaterate both at 20... keeps me at .05 interp... and I sometimes get 1 choke... never see any loss. Other then that everything is fine... it's just occasionally... but more often then not lately... the fps just decides to run slower then it should. So I don't know if my video card is going... if my processor isn't handling it properly... or what it could be. I asked the Geek Squad at best buy :oops: And they said update your drivers... but I didnt see anything in the updates that would help me... and I haven't always had this problem. My personal thought is something is dieing... just trying to get an idea as to what it could be :cry:

Well... I kinda think I might have figured some of it out. I watched my processes when the fps went down... and my spyware/anti-virus were running update checks... so I think that is part of it. Even still you would think 2.6 ghz with 1500 ram would be able to multi task. Damn POS!

I was actually having the same problem a few days ago. I hav an LCD monitor so my max fps is 60, but it kept dropping to 30 every 2 seconds, even when standing still.
I changed some cl_updaterate/cmdrate shit around and it's all good now

Thought I had an LCD monitor too... but it got up to like 580 fps or so with module 13... maybe it's not LCD? oh wells :roll: It's thin! It's easy on my eyes... I pwn with it :twisted:

Im sad to say but I think it's the Elite server that makes the fps lower. I heard a lot of people say they are lagging... but they weren't lagging... their fps was just lower then normal :cry: Oh wells... I'll just have to learn hows to own in 30fps - 100fps... fluctuations a pain!
