High jitters can be fix?

[rufitos]

HelloS,

I have problems of high jitter on Mac OSX.
One way to reduce jitters, is that need to turn off the chat panel and get my radar settings on Fast.
When i play with chat panel on i get +-30 and when i take it off around +-1.

Is ther away to fix this problem?

Info :
System Version: Mac OS X 10.3.8
Machine Model: Power Mac G5
CPU Speed: 1.6 GHz
Memory: 256 MB
Nvidia FX 5200 Ultra 64


Best Regards,

Is there a way to check there's nothing busily using CPU or disk while you're playing?

I'm kinda getting the same problem with my WinXP. Everything works perfectly except when someone uses shockwave. If I get too near I get major jitters. Feels more like earthquakes. I tried lowering the setting, but it only helps a small bit. Another thing I noticed is that the CPU runs at a constant 100% when playing BZflags. Help please?

Basic Specs:
Laptop with Centrino 1.5ghz
512mb ram, 64 mb intel graphic card
1084 down / 311 up bandwidth
Zero spyware/viruses.

sir robert, do you mean lower fps not jitter, i dont think you can notice jitter without lagstats?

bzflag runs as fast as it can, so yes it will atempt use all of the CPU, that can mean 100%

This sounds like you get low fps? Can you test with 't'? Also, the font and radar rendering seems to be a bottleneck. You can try and use the (potentially ugly) bitmap font renderer as an alternative and see if your fps increase. To do so, add

Code: Select all

set useBitmapFontRenderer 1

to your config file.

Instead of switching off the console, you can alternatively try and set the panel to all opaque.
