June 26, 200421 yr To keep a short story from growing long:Whenever I play the following maps - caen, armory, basrah - my FPS drops to a constant of 4. Yes, 4 FPS. And the sound is continually repeating, looping like when you connect - except it stays like that for the whole time. It only happened so far on these maps, and as soon as another map is loaded, my FPS goes back to 50-70 and sound is back to normal. Any remedies, solutions, patches? By the way, I used to play caen fine in 2.8 and basrah and armory for some time in 2.9, too. Maybe I just need to download those maps again? Except they are not in the download section and I just don't want to try and reinstall the whole game. Something else might get fried :? Peace.BanePS. HELP!!! PS.2. The story ended up long anyway.
June 26, 200421 yr Try in console stopsound and hit enter.Has this just happened since the latest Steam update?
June 26, 200421 yr Author The stopsound command is good when the sound starts looping within the game without actually affecting FPS, only annoying the player (me ). That kind of loop happens a lot on sandblast and omaha - when doors are being opened back and forth again. But everyone gets that from time to time. When you just join the game (connect to the server and load a map for the first time) a similar thing happens - the map sounds start and in the middle they start over and so on for just a moment. So when you join bocage you hear birds chirping over and over for about 3 seconds, or if someone's talking over the mic you will hear like a syllable or two being repeated for a couple of seconds. And that's what usually happens with each connection. The problem I'm talking about is different. It's like I can't quite connect or something. The repeating sounds never cease, I get 4 fps, and even the escape key takes three times longer to get me to the menu, so I can disconnect. It's as if I had a huge lag, but it's not like I freeze and then find myself in a different spot, just the game itself gets very choppy both in sound and FPS. Here's a screenie - maybe the netgaph will give you some more info. I only know the FPS is 20 times less than what I usually get. And as I said - it only happens on those 3 maps (so far). I'm quite sure this also happened on caen and armory before the most recent FA patch/Steam update, but at that time I could play basrah fine, so I really don't know if there's a connection or not. http://bathroomgangsta.w.interia.pl/mac/tc_caen0006.jpg Thanks for your time and help.

June 29, 200421 yr i would remove the maps and redload them ..ive herda this problem b4.dont remember how it got fixed...ill ask around tho
June 29, 200421 yr Author Bigbud, what do you mean by "remove and reload"? Just take the map out of the FA folder and back? That doesn't seem to be a solution, but thanks for your time anyway. If I could download these maps from somewhere, I would try switching them, but alas as they are in the default map pack for 2.9, nobody hosts them :)Any more ideas, anyone?Thanks, Bane
June 29, 200421 yr I will put Caen and Basrah in the map rotation.Delete them and use our fast download feature to get tham back.
June 29, 200421 yr wait...isn't that 40 fps?OH NOES! A .!!!!!!that's badyea, I would probably reinstall firearms, that'd be your best bet to fixing this.and what bigbud meant was delete the map files and redownload them...
June 30, 200421 yr I has the same prob with upham, i found it was actually a new model downloaded from FAmod.com that was casuing me to lag
July 4, 200421 yr Try disabling detail textures, I think you can do it somewhere in the options menu.
