    technical problems

    hi, i was not playing NS pretty long time, because of problem with computer/system ... after months i reinstalled computer and everything is fresh and working .. but the problem persists, the computer is all the the time i play at TG the same (notebook pentium M 1.6, 1.5gb ram, ati radeon 9700/256ram -- windows XP, graphic drivers Omega (before it was regular ati catalyst)

    the problem started something like october/november 2006 and i had not this kind of problem with halflife/ns before

    the game is freezing and reaction to some (if not all) actions is delayed - like i go to the corner but o want to stay behind, but the walk continues after i released key.. shooting and more or less everything is delayed .. and the delay is not always the same, sometimes it's like normal game and in key moment, when i have to do something important .. it just freezes for 0.2 sec and i am dead and my team looses

    and one more thing is that i believe counterstrike does not these things




    if somebody has some idea, pls help .. i really want to play this
    thanks (forgive bad english)

    I had that problem, too. It all came with a Steam update back in October 2006.

    There's a lot of info on the subject. For me, killing the ati2evxx.exe process solved the problem (you might wanna try that with your audio drivers installed).

    AC97 drivers

    I think these should work for your soundcard, and should be the newest version. Did you have problems with the newest version of your sound card drivers recently?

    Also I'd also give the standard advice of scanning for spyware, eliminating resource hungry services that you don't use, and running anything else while running NS to see if that helps.

    I use to have a problem where I kept running foward even when I wasn't pressing the key, or I kept firing even though I let go of the fire button.

    Usually to stop this I just typed "-foward" in console or "-attack". Those usually fixed it that I remember. I believe it originated from some defunct scripts I was using.

    Re: technical problems

    so realtek does not work, but VIA Vynil AC97 works well ... but the problem persist, because it's the same version of driver like i had ... i tried to disable some special function, but nothing changed

    i believe it's not virus or spyware, because it's yesterday installed and there are no any scripts or nothing extra in system or halflife

    where i can see the problem well is, when i press TAB key to see scores .. sometimes it needs 3 or more seconds after i release the button to disappear ... and the most imaginable form to explicate the problem is that you are feeling like on the ice.. you go forward and it starts later than normal and it ends later than normal .. and the delay is different everytime .. you move the mouse, but it does not take all of the mouse movement, you feel that you need to move more wide to do the same thing (i know now, because i tried some games without sound and it's really different, everything is correct and exact, i move the mouse for 2pixels accuracy without sound and with i can't even start shooting the skulk, because when i have cursor near him i am already dead)

    Re: technical problems

    Have you gone into control panel > sound and audio devices > audio tab > advanced > performance tab and make sure your audio acceleration is set to full?

    Also try this:

    start > run > dxdiag

    when its done take a look at the sound tab and make sure there aren't any issues coming up, and that acceleration is again at full.

    Re: technical problems

    i tried dxdiag tool and i ran test for audio page .. it made some tests well and then told me the sound card does not support hardware bufering ... acceleration was full everywhere

    so i turned it (hw acceleration) off .. and it looks like the game works ... ill see at the evening, when TG will be full if there is any difference, but for now the problem looks solved

    I've solved problems before by disabling sound hardware acceleration. Granted, it was a long time ago:
