Internet issues?

[`Unicorn]

Hey.
Recently I'm having really annoying problem with altitude.
I'm not gonna describe this problem, watch the video yourself:

Any ideas what may cause it?



*Internet works fine, every other game that requires internet connection as also.
edit: PING IS STEADY.

Looks like dropped packets to me.

Yeah, J has told me the same thing.
Any ideas of fixing it?

Yea it might be packet loss. Are you playing on a wireless connection?

Other possibilities:
Why is your FPS only 30? Maybe you should disable vsync and set your max fps to 60 or 120

Open console (F1 or ~ key) and type
optionsGraphicsVsync false
testTargetFps 120

See what happens.

If you record with Fraps @ 30 fps, it limits the games fps to that same 30.
Not sure if that's the case here but just fyi for future reference.

o_O so it's either wireless connection dropping packets or fraps overloading your system and Altitude having to "catch up". You could try increasing the priority of Altitude in the task manager.

When I play alti, only alti is on. Normally I don't use fraps while playing.
And the game itself cannot overload my system, because requirements aren't high at all.
I'm gonna buy a new network card and when I do that I let you know if it helped.

Try just running a ping test from teh command line and see how many packets are dropped

ping -n 1000 -l 4096 vapor.nimblygames.com

It is all good (at least for now).
I think network card was the problem, it may could have overheat or something so it broke.
Everything downloads even faster and pages load real quick.

Download speed:
45.8Mbps
Upload speed:
5.92Mbps

When previously it was like 10-15Mbps/2Mbps.

Pinged vapor.nimblygames.com, none packets were lost.


Thanks!
