Incessant Stuttering

[xadera]

Ever since the Mannniversary update, occasionally when I joined a server it would "stutter" (jerk everything in place) for about 3 seconds with about 1-2 seconds of normalness in between.

With the past few updates, this has solved for every server I've played on, from other servers I actually play on to trade servers. That is, except for MKWEA. Tried to join multiple time, even reset my computer and played with nothing else running and lowered graphics settings, but nothing fixes it.

Does MKWEA have any special mods running or anything that might cause this? This even happened when MKWEA was empty before and I was testing, though I haven't had a chance since the updates.

You aren't welcome here.

Xadera, you are the only person to complain about stuttering to the point of unplayableness. There have been some bumps here and there, but nothing huge like what you're describing.

Whatever it is, it's probably something on your end.

lol, thanks Vultan

Yeah, I figured it's something on my end, but I'd like to figure out what. Like, what makes MKWEA different from every other server? Though the bug in general (across other servers before the update) was fairly widespread as well, like the crashing, as noted by the SPUF forums. Maybe I should get one of them to hop on MKWEA to see if they have the same problem, if I can find any of them.

Glad I could help.

Xadera, could it be the problem where if 3 or more people are talking at once the game slows to like .5 fps? I have that problem and it happens more on MKWEA than anywhere else because so many people talk.

I get a lot of stutter lately, not restricted to MKWEA. As in, I'm playing, and then I hear the same sound and the game freezes for about 3-10 seconds. When it gets to that upper range, I either get the texturing failure bug (which is always an exciting experience) or the hl2.exe crash. Sometimes it will solve itself in the 3-6 second range and I can continue as normal. It is often simultaneous with someone using comms, though I don't believe exclusive. I've heard the Demoman saying the same syllable over and over again as well as Jamez saying the same syllable over and over again.

That's not a bug, I just tend to do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do -



hl2.exe has stopped working.

I don't believe it's a problem with 3 people talking at once, because the stuttering happens ALWAYS when on MKWEA. Even when there's no talking and I'm just sitting in spawn attempting to merely take a couple steps.

I kinda get the issue when first joining another server, but it resolves itself once everything "loads" within a matter of seconds.

And yeah, I get a crash too occasionally, no matter what server I'm on. I just really hope Valve can get these really bad bugs fixed before the Halloween event starts.

Valve has fixed this issue. If anyone is still encountering stuttering problems that are only on MKWEA, please post here.

[xadera]

Ahh, yes, I should have posted earlier but with the release of the Halloween update, the issue was resolved.

I got huge stuttering today that was on MKWEA. I played a little on other servers and didn't get it, but it's hardly conclusive that it's MKWEA only.
