Merlin stuttering

Tef · Post by **Tef** » 2008-02-29 03:10

Yeah so I was on the training server earlier on qinling and anytime I get into the merlin and wait for eng to warm up then increase throttle to take off the game freezes for like 1 second every other 5 seconds. This only happens with the merlins, I haven't tried to fly the BH but it doesn't happen with the littlebirds. =/

Well to tell u the truth this thread is gonna get locked to hell. Iv beat the issue of the merlin lag to death, and honestly there is no solution right now. Just one of those things we have to live with... like the obstructed view of the tank gunner when gunner looks behind u.... Iv lived to deal with the issue, it will happen from time to time, sometimes it will be fine but most of the time the lag will definitely show up. As the Devs so gently put it "Dont fly it then!".

I got it with 0.7, then one day it disappeared.

I have it almost all the time with 0.7. 0.6 was smooth. I dont have it only on LAN playing alone or sometimes when a server is low populated. New instalation doesnt help either

no great merlin for me anymore

its definitely not ram. People were arguing about this problem with 4 gigs of ram. I personally play with 2. I do agree that the lag has gone down some, but its still preety existent to a hair ripping extent. I just learn to play with it, but end up crashing into a building or something, one moment i was 300 feet in the air, next im looking at the hotel building.... *Boom* "You team killed ********"
Bah!
I love the chopper though, its a sexy model and its fun watching it fly over a battlefield. In the hands of good pilots its the last line of assualt when brits lose all their vehicles. I even managed to get 4 great Clear LZ's on Albrashar that has a high rate of sucess without takign fire from tecnicals or rpgs. Good stuff, would love to see the issue fixed, but Devs got other business to attend to.

Yea I play with 2 gigs and it stutters a lot.

I do agree though that merlin is smexy but if I try and fly it I would probably crash it with the stuttering.

I have 3 gigs dual channel of gaming RAM so its not RAM related meh thinks. My lag is like every 3 to 5 seconds and lasts for about 1-1,5 second. I loved flying it on Bashra in 0.6 and love to fly it on LAN, but hate that I cant online...

I remember reading that Merlin was given to some other BSS mod, does it lag for them?

I'd like to know that as well.
