cars flashing in N4 online (server side)

by Philste » Sat, 28 Apr 2001 12:45:46

I have the following system:
PIII 866, 256 meg of RAM (PC 133)
Sound Blaster Live
ASUS V7700 64 meg GeForce 2
Via Appollo mobo
cable modem

I race on a server not very far from where I am and always get excellent
ping to it. In the "entries" screen, it's usually in the following
ranges: ping 60-100 ms; quality 98-100%.

In car, the little connection graph doesn't fluctuate much. When I race
online (we usually have 20 cars), none of the cars around me warp. They
are all rock solid. My fps range from 48-60; number of cars ahead = 22,
behind = 6.

The problem is: my car flashes horribly most of the time on the other
drivers' pc. I simply can't understand this, given the fact that my
connection seems to be stable and none of the cars flashes on my side.
Suggestions?

I even tweaked my registry recently (using settings found at
www.speedguid.net). But it's getting frustrating.
