Annoying rubberband type of bug

[Paralyser]

I bought a new computer a few weeks ago and everything worked like a char, until a bout two weeks ago.

I was out hunting like usual when suddenly EU started acting strange. It looks a bit like rubberbanding but i'm pretty sure it's a hardware problem.

I tried recording it with fraps but the "rubberbanding" stopped when the FPS dropped down to 30. I've tried turning vsync both on and of and there's no difference at 60 FPS and above.

Here's a video of how it looks. Had to use my cellphone to capture it.
What you see is my ava running straight forward.

Have anyone else had the same problem? Maybe i can solve it without consulting the MA support?


SOLUTION: Download and install Forceware 163.75 from nvidia.com

Thank you Angel of Death for the solution

You need to edit your YouTube tag though

Like so :

Would love to offer help - but I'm a total techie nub - so I can't
Good luck figuring it out.

Common problem I am afraid for some of us.

I still have it today, though have gotten used to working with it.
The full cry2 implementation should fix this lag issue between client and server positioning updates.

I am surprised you get this issue being from Sweden and relatively close to the servers geographical location.

Maybe time to change ISP/NSP ?

Do a ..

tracert www.entropiauniverse.com

from your dos prompt, it will give you the hop time delays in transmitting data to and from each hop along the way to the MA servers. (Webserver is co-located, so it offers a good testing point)

Oh wow, that is freaky !

I get nothing that bad, you got some serious issue going on there.

Yeah try the tracert to check if it is a comms based problem first I would say.

So i'm not alone with this eh? :p

I'm pretty sure this isn't a network issue and even more sure that it has to do with some hardware or drivers. Not sure what though.

I was hoping that someone had this problem and solved it (a bit tired of poking in my computer to tell the truth, even lazy if you want )

got it also from time to time, especially when my pc is running longer then normal..reboot solves the problem, except at myrene, no matter what, always keep rubberbanding there

What you see comes from massive network lag.

Try the following: Open the status of your network connection - in case you see packets moving while your system is idle (no network apps running) you should get rid of the botnet client on your system.

Still no network problems.

Did you check the other PCs on your LAN for high network utilization and malware?

I've had similar problems a long time ago.
It took a while to figure out what caused it... it was a firewall causing delay in the network traffic. While I made rules for entropia.exe, clientloader.exe, opened ports etc, it still keep giving me lag whenever i had the firewall enabled while playing EU.
Do a thourough virusscan and spybotscan (preferably in safe mode), and if you are sure you are not infected with anything, try out disabling your firewall and run EU. Worth a try I'd say .
