Windows 7 PL
« on: October 26, 2010, 06:53:54 PM »
Would like any advice on quake 2 Windows 7 pl issue I'm having. Here's the problem:

When I play q2 on my Windows 7 install, I get bad pl. It's not completely unplayable, but it hickups constantly every few seconds and my average frags per min drop by about 100 - 200 for a  typical ffa map. Looking at netgraph on an empty server, I have little ticks of pl and when I start to move around, the bumps get bigger.

I use Avast, but I've turned it off during testing and still have issues. I have also turned off Windows firewall during testing and still have issues.

When I stop moving, the pl goes down a bit, but when I start moving again, the pl picks up.

In order to play quake normally, I have to boot into an old Windows XP drive and play. Exact same hardware, and no pl.

Any help is greatly appreciated. I'm tired of booting out of Windows 7 just to play.

Thanks...00

run as administrator, if need be you can change the shortcut to run in compatibility mode for xp and restart

also your gonna want to make sure that your firewall isnt causing conflicts with quake2, and make sure your antivirus has exceptions for both anticheat and your r1q2/aprq2 :)

Thanks for the post...I figured it out though...stupid windows thing.

Problem with sound card believe it or not. Windows 7 has something called Multimedia Class Scheduler and a registry setting called Network Performance Throttling. I had to modify that registry setting to turn off the Network Performance Throttling. Here's a link on steampowered.com that discusses the issue:
