Hi there.

I usually play Lockdown to get Krogmo Coins enough to sell Mod Calibrators, and by playing that often, I noticed that some parts of my screen seen to be... Delayed. I already switched the monitor, and I solved the problem. I don't know, maybe it was only placebo effect, because I'm STILL having screen issues. I remember doing a great performance at the start, but now I'm sucking at it because I can barely see my targets. I already changed the resolution, the update frequency, and nada. So, do you guys happen to know why is it happening?

EDIT: I was using my PC with another screen, and 500kb/s network (mine is 100kb/s), and it was a very nice performance boost, the game was totally smooth, now it's lame.

What are your specs?

AMD Athlon II X4 840, GeForce

AMD Athlon II X4 840 3.1GHz, GeForce 9500GT 1GB DDR2, 1x 4GB RAM, 300GB HD (202GB Free), Windows 7...

But well, I don't think that these are the problem. I mean, it was working wonders before, and suddenly, lame. :c

Do you mean the longer you play the game, the worse the game performs? Because I totally have that. It's got to be some kind of memory leak. For me, the longer I play, the worse and worse it gets when I lose or gain health. Standing on the heal pad or respawning drops me to maybe 4 fps until my health is completely restored, and being around a bunch of people losing health similarly kills my framerate. Thankfully this is easily solved by quitting and reloading SK. Means I'm forced to bow out just as the group is getting good, but oh well.

Now, if you went from it running well all the time to now suddenly running like crap all the time, I got nothing. Could always try redownloading the SK client. Maybe something is wrong with it. Same with Java. :|

I don't know. I mean, if I was running at another home with 5kb/s network and another screen (Yes, I basically used 3 of them) very well, and here is lame, then the problem might be something missing. maybe it's the connection? I'm sharing it with another PC right now, I'll try to see if it gets worse. If so, there is the problem.

Btw, I can't tell if it gets worse as the time passes by.

EDIT: I'm back, and I'm not sharing the network anymore. :/

Oh, it's the same computer at a whole different place? Yeah, it's probably connection. Frame skipping is a problem with your computer. If your framerate is stable and your character is teleporting around, then it's connection. 'Bout all I can say.

No, it's not teleporting,

No, it's not teleporting, it's more like frame skipping.
