hi guys, i wonder whether or not any of you have expeienced this before? :
playing on the server, suddenly the game freezes (and the sound etc) and the HDD LED lights up (HDD in use) and screen stays frozen for a few seconds. in the meantime, i get owned by magik5 or some other tramp  , and i 'wake up' to the 'critically wounded' screen (cos of course, everyone-else's game has kept going) this does not happen just once, but a few times in succession, for about 5-8 seconds each time. i wonder whether it is PB trying to take a SS of me, and re-trying every time due to lack of success or something. i have no other background programs running, except vista windows updater or whatever and kaspersky I/S. running vista x64 home premium, and lates punkbuster outfit also poor k/d ratio when this happens  , making me look like a dick  any suggestions? -------------------- I watched a snail crawl along the edge of a straight razor. That's my dream. That's my nightmare. Crawling, slithering, along the edge of a straight... razor... and surviving |

hmmm...i was on the server yesterday, and Ted was on also, and he's using XP. he did complain about his PC 'freezing' for a few seconds while his soldier waited patiently to get killed, and after a minute, mine started doing that also. i did notice that when that happened, my ping went up to like 190, and ted's did also when that happened to him. now question is did ping rise FIRST hence i got 'cut off' and the HDD started to spin for some reason, or did my hdd start spinning with some background stuff first, THEN my lag went up? it never happens in any other application/game to be honest, although i dont play any other game except for COH:OF online
does battlrecorder save straight to the server, or does it use temp files on one's HDD? -------------------- I watched a snail crawl along the edge of a straight razor. That's my dream. That's my nightmare. Crawling, slithering, along the edge of a straight... razor... and surviving |
