As the subject says, whenever i enter a battle, my gama gets real choppy (FPS lower than 15), and it seems like my targets have cloaking devices, that everytime i got a good lock on them, they disappear, WHEN i can get a good lock, bcuz they keep drifting around.
Is this happening only to me, or is anyone experiencing those problems? How can i fix that?
My spcs: PIII 800MHz, 655ram, gforce4 64mb, 1Mb dsl connection.
Everything closed while i'm playing, even explorer is closed.
Never had that prob myself,have u tried that ping prog Grinder posted?
Does sound like a very bad connex
Yeah, that was my first guess, but after realizing that this only happens in battles, and my dl speed is 120Kb\s, it is looking that FL isn't accessing my connection at all.
Here's the stats:
Ping requests:
Sent = 30, Reveived = 30, Lost = 0 <0% loss>
Approximate round trip times:
Minimum = 250 ms, Maximun = 270 ms, Average - 252 ms
Maybe a long shot ,but have you scanned for trojans ?

thats your problem - about or less than 60-70ms will be normal/best to play
And how do i do that without improving my dl rate? U know, there's better connections here, up to 8Mb, but we're low on money.
And if that was the reason, the game would be laggy all the time. But the difference between normal games. and battles are huge.
I'll scan for spyware, good idea.
Note: Battling with the nomads is normal, and i can kill more than 20 of them in 2 minutes. Normal battles, on missions lvl 43, i take 5 to 6 minutes to kill one ship.
no, turn down your graphic settings.
I did that too, turned down everything, all the lod, my graphic card anti-aliasing and anti-anisotroping. Still, no difference.
This computer is able to run nfs most wanted in an fast FPS at medium lod, i don't think that my computer performance is the bottleneck.
i have this problems too and i think its the server or our internet connection are just too slow...
but 1 mbit to get information should be enough...
High ping mean server respond too slow to you. If you're using firewall - disable it and see are there any difference
I don't know, i always take care while messing with firewall, even if it's the microsoft one.. I'll disable it to see the effect, but in the case, does anyone knows what's the port that FL uses? i could open that port to allow FL to connect without disabling the firewall.
What's your connection?
Well connection speed is important but ping is different thing. My international connection is 16KB/s down, 40KB/s up in best case but ping is about 60 and no problem playing.
I experience a similar vanishing ship thing in Altair, only seems to happen to the 'big' ships though
I dont think its depending on the computer or the internet connection. My computer is more than good enough for Freelancer: AMD Athlon XP 3000+, 512MB DDR, 128MB Geforce 6800... My internet connection is DSL 2000
But anyway I have the same problems, but ONLY if I have lag, especially red lags.
Actually, i though that the red lag was due to the battle.
Is very annoying, because even with red lag, i can fight with 20 to 25 nomads on the screen, and my game doesn't get choppy, they keep drifting around but that's all that happens. But when i fight a squadron of any other faction ship, the game becomes a slideshow.
Well, these ships have shields, the nomads don't.. could there be any link?
fl port: 2302
Thx, hope that this fix the prob
