About this, I had the same issues and I couldnt
understand why since i had 40 ping... Well it helped me by lowering the
resolution, and the heavy slow movements and pointer movement
disappeared (even though my gpu is/was reaaaally powerful enough to run
q3 on 1280 x 1024:D)

1st, I did play 4 CWs with "PB on" and with all same settings and config etc.... prior to this last CW but never experienced half the issues I did face in this last one.... "keeping in mind I was in a better shape than all previous CWs.. also my laptop was fully charged"

2nd, I understand that PB on makes game slower and more heavy, I experienced it already!
3rd, I understand and have enough knowledge regarding VGA and graphics performance.. etc
4th, for the distance and ping I have, and the specific location which even makes connection not good regardless of how low ping could be "since I have tested quake at 180 ping with a WI FI in another country and was still better and smother than here" I do understand the lack of speed and understand the possible delay at all....

But yet, as I did clarify, we made a test, at first part of the issue I am speaking about was vanished while at the other status the same issue got to appear.... meaning, something is causing it

One more thing to add (I face this issue, weapons not shooting while aimed at the target only with some certain players) as I had to experience this issue sine the day I came to E+ (this one is for sure)
An assumption, that it also probable for it to occur while people specing me.... but this is an addition to the main issue..
Something causes the issue, not ping, since the certain players I am speaking about have different pings.. but probably same factor which cause the issue..

One conclusion I had to reach at finally regarding my "no shootings while aimed at target, also slow motion and weird movements/weird pointer movements" issue but still not sure about, which is that certain players use higher frame rate.. com_maxfps 200/250/333/500....etc but if I would assume that this was what was causing the problem at this CW I would have to also assume there was no "PB on" and the versus clan were using higher frame rates.....

Thank you for your opinion!!

It couldnt be demo recording as I know. Anyway there is
no tool to check if someone is recording or not. I bet it was PB lag. It
happens that PB cause wors lag than usually especially on slow pc. Low
down graphic settings and dont forget to close browser and other
programs before runing q3 (check also in task manager).

Btw on wich server did you play?

We did play here 176.57.129.81:29999

And here are MVDs http://www.mediafire.com/?ra43l6t0ijv44bm

Regarding a tool to chech, I guess that the same way a PB work to figure if someone is using a com_maxfps higher than 125 would work to find out if someone is recording or not..

Thank you for your opinion!!

There was a file going about here somewhere that reduces pb lag, dunno if that would help.

I clearly understand the lag of the PB while on, what I did face at the last CW I did play was ways worse and different..

Thank you anyway for your opinion, would be more appreciated if you could have brought us that topic which explain about PB stuff.. I remember I did read something like that someday and tryed to fix my PB lag.. however would be better if we look into it once more..
Thank you!!

GMZ, maybe or maybe not. If you like to really tackle
the issue I'd suggest to organize a research event. And start testing
with spec/demo on you and also without and draw out a normal from when
it does affect you and when it doesn't. If you can, also record the
event if you feel like it holds truth and worth to record it.

I'd assume you are ready to waste some of your precious very very important time for to help? !! ?
..

Please people, keep in mind that the issue I did face at this last CW I am speaking about here is unusual comparing to all my experience in the whole period of time I spent at the E+ also with the previous CWs, I have many suggestions and doubts.. I am not going for to accuse the extreme clan for anything.... I also kind of reached part of why things were going the way they were, however this point is a total different case and something outside the whole topic,
Still, this topic was made for to figure if while recording a demo could affect anything with regards to the game, with certain players/against certain players in some specific situations or configs..... also if there is something specific at player side which could be what cause issues against other players since I face different issues only with some certain players and mainly the no shootings, only happens at some specific times and some specific players, not an absolute theory, not working all the time but most of the time of course..

Thank you all for your opinions, and looking forward for your responds with some new thoughts that could get us closer to the solution of the issue

audiobook pls

I will take your request into serious consideration, however I am not in the mood to make recordings now,
I also hope you are not joking, because I have no time for such jokes really, and if it is a joke, honestly? not so funny! but I'd assume that it isn't..
