hey folks. have a problem. the usual way i record demos is using a bind F9 "g_synchronousclients 1; record; g_synchronousclients 0; echo recording". Now i tried to record something a single player game and when i tried playing it back it plays out of synch. all flickery.

then i changed the binds to do jsut g_synch 1 and record and echo and then record the demo and then use a bind to stoprecord and g_synch 0. this time the demo plays back ok.

what is the deal? is there any way i can avoid this cos i also found out with g_synch 1 movements are affected. adversely.

Thanks.

ok i kinda found out y for a part of the problem. when u have g_synchronousClients 1, the speed you gain by executing a strafejump, especially a cpma style one, is much less than that you would gain if g_synchronousClients had been 0. dont know y this is so, but it is. Sad

still dont know y the demo plays all flickery if i record it with synch 0. gah!

i'd say you either have some cpu-eating programs running in the background when you are recording or your com_maxfps is set to some low value.

k com_maxfps 125. i get consistent 125 fps during play. k i guess as flex seems to point out it must be a problem with the fact that im playing on my own computer in single player mode.

but flex the problem is if i record in g_synch 1 then as i said i dont gain as much speed on a strafe. cant make a lot of stuff i do that way. Sad. guess id have to try it on a server. but then im testing and making changes to a config at the same time so have to get ftp access to a server. pain in the ass!

run a dedicated lan server on your comp then connect to it on your comp.

fixes the problem for me.

use q3mme to clear the jerky demos if you use it for movies with smooth clients.

I am proud of spreading a pirated Excessive Plus version and claim to be the original author, yay!
