gg Ultima/Skull

The problem raised because the entities limit for quake is 1024. Maybe you can play with like 50 people in baseq3, but not in plus, because people can shoot more weapons in plus.cfg, and every shot is one more entity (or more, as with the case of pants bfg that spawns 7 grenades), even the explosions are different entities. Btw, if you would have been played with plain quake 3, when the limit is reached the server would have crash, but e+ tries to free entities instead (like explosions and misiles).

However, all that said, beta6 improved prediction (which can be turned off by the server cvar xp_improvedPrediction) does add more entities (exactly one for each player) and makes the server to work more, which could cause also the lag spikes. In this fragfest extreme case i think it would have been better to turn the improved prediction off, and also to set sv_fps to 20 to make the server to work less.

So, dont just blame the beta6 release .

congratzZz! m8s im at last hehehehe

Isn't that possible to set it in map ? I have seen before something that could be set to 2048 or 4096.

I think it's _blocksize in worldspawn entity.
