Unusual bullet speed in CE

[Apoc4lypse]

hmm tex do you have fraps?

You should record what you usually play like then also record it when the glitch happens like your saying, just so we can see what you mean.

otherwise idk.. never happened to me before..

I usually just get off games and then games where I play way better then I'm used to, although nothing is visibly different, other than my leading being a lot easier to play with due to a better ping or something. I always play better with good pings, and a certain lead that I'm used to.

It has happened to me a few times. I have also experienced a short time where it kinda slows down a bit, then it picks up the pace back to normal, but that has only happened to me once.

Never happened to me, I either have normal speed or lag. If anything that caused this it would have to be low Ping (which I never have )

My FPS normally stays about the same, so I don't have that problem.

You know, it could very well be that the fast bullet speed is NORMAL and that I usually encounter abnormally slow speeds for myself, with a few rare exceptions. That would be a good explanation for most people not ever seeing this.

You have a dual socket AMD system, don't you? I wouldn't be surprised if the rig is giving you trouble.

Me either, actually. It's really a workstation, but does decently on games.

Well, I performed some upgrades. I bought 2 faster Opteron CPUs (2.6 GHz instead of the previous 2.0) but only one has arrived so far. I installed it, along with a newer graphics card (MSI 2600XT) and turned all the Halo CE video features up high. I also changed the CE frame control to NO VSYNC on Dareme55's advice. Finally, I temporarily removed 2 gig of my 4 gig ram since I had 2 gig allocated to each CPU.

So far, even with everything maxed, I'm getting somewhat better performance. It remains to be seen if I've corrected a general slowdown problem...

Bring it on Rat..tex

Vsync is pretty bothersome from my experience with it. If your system can't keep a solid 60fps then it drops to 30, and makes the game feel like it got stuck in mud. You should be seeing a large frame rate boost from the new video card though.

fps running from 220 to 290 now.

Oh, and I *finally* got a few pistol 1SKs the other night, so now I know for sure they are possible. So much for those denying it...
