new update cause too many problems....

[criskoe]

firstly im getting more lag and from what i read alot of people are......
i have amd 64 3800+, 1 gig gskill ram dual channel, 6800 gt.....
should i really be getting lag now?

secondly.... the grenade launcher seems to be messed up... the grenades ride walls... i mean if you shoot it at a wall it will not blow up right away it will guide along the wall and blow up when it hits the ground.. you can also bank shots with the gl now.. i dont remember reading that that was part of the patch... but could come in handy but kinda wierd to get used to....

but mostly im getting strange smoke effects with the grenade launcher... when you shoot a grenade you should get a poofy smoke out the end of the gun... followed by a long trail line of smoke from the grenade... (lol poofy.... the oly word that makes sence).. all is good in single player but when i play online on any server im getting strange smoke. it looks like lines in the shape of a x or star... like a flat image of smoke instead of a smoke like stream..... ne one else getting this problem?

by the way the first two pics are in single player and the second two are online in multi player in the exact same spot to show what i mean......

wow... I can't even stay in a game to see if that problem happens to me, I lagg so hard its not even playable. The sounds laggs along with it too. And the no buildings thing is wierd, I can see enemies through the buildings, but can't shoot them cause there is a wall that I can't see there... haha

This sounds like old graphics drivers, what ones are you running? They have probally made some graphical updates to the game and your old drivers can display the data properly, this may cause your lag.

secondly.... the grenade launcher seems to be messed up... the grenades ride walls... i mean if you shoot it at a wall it will not blow up right away it will guide along the wall and blow up when it hits the ground.. you can also bank shots with the gl now.. i dont remember reading that that was part of the patch... but could come in handy but kinda wierd to get used to....

Yes this was fully documented before the patch came out

Your pics dont look that bad, but updating your divers wont do any harm

Re: new update cause too many problems....

by the way the 4 pictures above were taken in the same spot and all right when the gl was fired...... the first two were taken in singleplayer and are normal... the second two are in multiplayer and dont seem right... this was not happening before i updated to the 1.2... thouse smoke lines are annoying and are disstracting... somtimes affect what i can see and i loose battles cause of it.... im positve it is with the patch,, it has to be .... it wasnt doing this before... ive tryed to uninstall and reintall again... the game ... and the full patch , not the incremental.... seemed to solve lag.... but not the strange smoke effect...... im wondering if it is new thing implemented for online play to increase speed... like they did when they removed the splashes from shooting water......... ne input?

Only a couple of weeks ago i had an AGP 6600GT, and I tried the newest drivers. My card ran awfull so I went back to older drivers. Try some of the older drivers and I think this will improve your graphics performance.
