f1 2002 Stuttering

during qualifying and races.. mini pause like stutter every now and then??? Anybody else experience that?? I have tried turning off replies but no good. Is it the telemetry maybe??

Stuttering in games is usually due to graphics. If you are using high res 32bit textures and have insufficient video memory then it happens when the textures have to re-load into the card's memory across the agp bus. Try using 16bit textures or get card with more mem. My new GeForce 4400ti has 128meg so no more stuttering in games but ven on that it stutters on the amazing looking codecreature nvidia demo which uses an awsome amount of memory (something like 256meg!). Some Call Me Tim

Thanks for that Tim I have a Geforce 3 running 16bit colour (64meg ddr) 512 Meg ram XP 1500+ I have tried 29.42 (immediate lockup) 29.40 (immediate lockup) 28.32 (blue screen dump) 23.11 and 23.12 run but give stutter (2 or 3 times a lap) 22.50 (old favorites of mine) same as above Any suggestions chaps? , <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Sometimes sound cards can cause stuttering too. What kind of sound card do you have? "Ian Dickson" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:adrkql$s35$[email hidden]...

I notice with F12001 when hitting the rumble strips I got some stutterererer. J. Janasov "Haqsau" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:adrqgb$1r753$[email hidden]...

its just a shit game....online is glitches for about 3secs when a client joins the server....i think EA tested multiplayer code on the 10000000mbit atlantic europe trunkline..... Toad <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Usually turning down the texture detail and/or lowering the res will help.

Nope...runs perfectly here on a 512K cable connection. Seriously though, why didn't you read a review of the game before you went and bought it instead of coming on here and bitching about the crappy net code...? I guess you'll know next time. I suggest that if you don't have access to a fast network, you should just enjoy the game for what it is - an awesome hotlapping game. Go register at EAs web site...

You shoyuld also have read the back of the box (how many of you actaually do that?) It clearly says Multiplayer 56Kbps 2 players! Multiplayer ISDN,Broadband,Lan, 2-8 players! Check Ya Specs before ya buy. Besides a lot of you wingers will just have to wake up and accept that your old 56k modem just won't cut the mustard anymore. Some Call Me Tim

There is no reason a good 56K hardware modem can't play MP games as well, or close to, as DSL. When they say two player 56k they are also talking about cable/DSL users. I've had DSL and it doesn't do MP any better than my 56k does, so long as you are not hosting and find a server with low pings.

My game has never suffered because I am on a 56k modem, that applies to N2002 also. There is another thread in this group where it is pointed out that even a 28.8k modem is sufficient for online gaming. The only problem with a slower connection is the long downloads to get new maps for games like Q3A. > For G*d's sake man, put down the crack pipe and slowly back away > from the keyboard. Do it for the kids. As I said before, FU, it is you who doesn't know WTF he is talking about. For most games 56k is fine so long as you have a good ping. It is your ISP's backbone that is more important than the speed of your connection. I've been doing MP since 1993 - mostly ON A MODEM!!!

The best ping that I've ever seen on a modem was about 150ms - totally appalling compared to 40ms or so for cable in FPS games like CS. 150ms is probably OK though for racing games.

Cable certainly helps in shooter games due to ping rate, but saying that ive seen plenty of CS/UT games online where servers are well and truely owned by someone on a 56k with a 300ping... In shooters theres nothing that makes up for raw talent not even a 30ping, certainly helps lamers appear better then they are, of course when a non-lamer appears on a 30ping its certainly goodnight!

Anything below 300ms is adequate! And that ping can really fluctuate so just because it says 40ms when you connect doesn't mean it will stay there. When I had DSL quite often I would get lag due to fluctuations, more so than on my 56k modem.

Then more users on a cable system the worse the performance will get, that doesn't happen with a modem. > He's a dork. Anyone who thinks 56k modem isn't adequate for MP gaming is an idiot. They were doing this stuff long before your mommy and daddy let you roam free on the internet.

For GPL anything below 300ms is adequate. And he's right about the DSL/Cable lag due to fluctuations too. I'm on cable, but when I have GPL league races I connect with my 56k6 modem instead, which I even set on 28k8 for a more stable connection. Andre

Got a funny rig on my system: If the fps exceed the monitors refresh rate, I got stutter (seems to be a syncronizing problem). So, also try to push up the details to arttifically lower the fps.

Define 'must.' For a large group to effectively play the current ISI F1 sims...you MUST have broadband. For GPL or N2002 this is NOT a 'must.' There term 'Low Ping Boys' didn't just get made up as an excuse....EVERY FPS allows 56kers to play, but they are at a disadvantage to broadbanders...doesn't mean they still won't do well, but they are playing with a handicap...just like when Doom came out and the 486 guys creamed the 386 users. So lets say.....for BEST RESULTS on most racing simulations...Broadband is a distinct advantage. dave henrie
