DDraceNetwork - questions

hey im getting constant lag spikes on ddnet that are making it unplayable it freezes for only a split second but its enough to make hammer hits and other stuff not do-able. It started happening for only the last 3 weeks or so but its getting to the point where its happening every 3-5 seconds. Also before anyone asks I am on the latest version of ddnet and I also updated my graphics driver 2 days ago so its not that, I also know its not my hardware as ddnet is the lowest graphic intensive game i play and no other game does this while I'm playing it.

Have you tried changing gfx backend?

Sounds like network issues to me. Try different server. Try lan cable. Restart router and PC

How would network issues cause fps problems?

Which fps issues

Well i'm not sure if they are fps issues, but he seemed to specify that he tried updating drivers and that there is not hardware problems, which implies that it would probably be a frame dropping problem? (edited)

Maybe. To me it doesn't sound like fps problems tho if he can't hammer someone^^

If its happening every 3-5 seconds, i think it could be

enough to make hammer hits and other stuff not do-able

(edited)

Yeah but then it would be literal freezes

I think he said it freezes (edited)

03:19

Just sounds like a sudden frame drop.. Or perhaps issues with monitor connection or something

Anyway. Additionally to what i said: Restart over restart button, not shutdown

to specify when i said i cant hammer i just meant my game freezes so i fall into freeze or miss timing on hammer because of it

03:22

i doubt its an internet issue im wireless atm but I also have super fast wifi so i dont think its that

Have you tried changing gfx backend?

also idk what u mean by this xd

03:25

im using vulcan if thats what you're asking

Yeah

03:35

Maybe try changing to opengl, also check if your vulcan is updated

oh okay ill try both and see what the results are

really feels like a network issue tho. I've played a lot with unstable network and that's how it plays like

it might be but i really doubt it my net is pretty stable and ive had experience with bad internet aswell as the new internet im using

03:36

and its not the same

i mean you can kinda tell if its network lag or game lag no

03:37

if u feel like ur entire screen is freezing or something then its probably game lag rather than internet

03:37

since even if u fully timed out u can still look around, animations play etc

Yeah ^ try pressing f1 and spamming ping (edited)

Yeah ^ try pressing f1 and spamming ping (edited)

you can do ctrl+shift+d+g to open up network graph

Oh yeah that too lol

well my game ofc now feels pretty okay so if it starts having issues ill take a look at the debug menu prediction

Dotu

well my game ofc now feels pretty okay so if it starts having issues ill take a look at the debug menu prediction

it was also fine for a little bit after u updated ur graphics card no

04:16

so it might come back again lmao

What fixed it?

What fixed it?

i moved my ddnet to a new drive but thats abt all i did might just be placebo or idk might have actually been an issue with the drive it was on

was the drive it was on full?

04:31

could cause issues ig, i think ive had issues with my drive being full before (edited)

True could have run out of space interesting tho. (edited)

If it feels like the problem comes and goes, it's more likely an internet issue, internet instability will feel like your screen freezes for a split second on some inputs. Also I think the client has some issues with tees going through teleports, they get awkwardly predicted and I feel like that causes some stutters, from what I've seen

the tp def isnt the issue for him

05:05

we were playing a map that had 0 tps and he lags mid air a lot of the time

05:05

but ye it gets predicted weirdly i think

teles aren't predicted at all without #6775

You can edit index.json in \DDNet\data\fonts to set your fonts. This is what mine looks like as an example. Make sure to install the font and reset your login session if you're using a newly installed font. (edited)

Thank you! This worked for me, I ended up indexing the font.

No prob, enjoy. What font are you using?

how to apply gfx_screen_height and gfx_screen_width? if i type gfx_screen_width 400; gfx_screen_height 300, then open window woth resolution, i see this: but i still in 1920x1080

I found way to automate that. You need to manually set your own resolution in "Graphics -> Fullscreen", then choose any other item (Windoed, Windowed borderless, Windowed fullscreen, Desktop fullscreen). By f1 command gfx_fullscreen 1 you can set resolution to your changed. By f1 command gfx_fullscreen [number] you can set fullscreen mode: 0 = windowed, 2 = desktop fullscreen, 3 = windowed fullscreen. (resolution will be maximum) That's bind, i do by that information: bind kp_minus "toggle gfx_fullscreen 1 2 #for desktop fullscreen; toggle ui_mousesens 20 100 #for controll mouse in low resolution" (edited)

Btw someone already implemented your feature

Nice.

Should work tomorrow in nightly

how to fix freezes

Was there ever a time without freezes

no

Then try update all drivers. Try latest Windows

13:40

If nothing works, install Linux or buy new pc Or are these network lags? Look like complete freezes

Jupstar ✪

Then try update all drivers. Try latest Windows

all updated to the latest version

network lags usually look different afaik, with interpolation and so on

13:44

interpolation/prediction

13:45

@Scrimy have you tried another graphics backend? try vulkan/opengl3.3

Are you sure it's time for me to upgrade my PC? Months 2-3 months ago there were no hangs, after the release of some update began to hang for 1-2 seconds every minute, I was not particularly stressed, but now hangs constantly

@Scrimy have you tried another graphics backend? try vulkan/opengl3.3

Yeah, I've changed it many times.

Well i asked you if you ever had no lag

13:49

Use the latest driver from Intel directly

Jupstar ✪

Well i asked you if you ever had no lag

I don't speak English very well, so I must have misunderstood.

Jupstar ✪

Use the latest driver from Intel directly

Use the driver from Intel.com and not from wherever you checked

Write the number

And bets it's not latest version xd

What you also should try. Restart Windows over"restart" not "shutdown"

14:06

Clears cache

I reinstalled Windows a while ago and it didn't fix anything.

Jupstar ✪

Write the number

10.0.22621.2215

Scrimy

10.0.22621.2215

That's a weird version. The current version is 31.0.101.2125

I downloaded both and they said the same thing

Mh weird. Sadly i cannot help you then. Your setup is really broken if u cannot even install a driver

But the problem is that this particular game freezes up

But it didn't freeze before

14:30

Did u install custom skins?

14:30

Or custom assets

the only thing that has changed is this

Scrimy

the only thing that has changed is this

What resolution does the image have

Scrimy

the only thing that has changed is this

this particular image?? xD

14:40

1642x551

@Scrimy do you also have these lags when you have another image selected? that resolution is very cursed btw

15:02

(try the default texture for comparison)

What's all this got to do with it I have a game hangs and hung when there were normal textures

Scrimy

Are you sure it's time for me to upgrade my PC? Months 2-3 months ago there were no hangs, after the release of some update began to hang for 1-2 seconds every minute, I was not particularly stressed, but now hangs constantly

according to this you didn't always have hangs and you said that the one thing you changed was these textures

yes
