tomozj Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 When in windowed mode, it's possible to drop down to about 1-2 fps. The cause What's causing this are things in Windows, outside MTA. For example when you hover over a taskbar item, a "alternative text" caption fades up and lags both Windows and the MTA game. Also, MSN Messenger animating icons cause this lag, so it's something to do with the movement.
KillFrenzy Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 I would change the process priority to high if it were possible. That should reduce the effects of the problem, but then would cause the rest of your computer to lag. Can MTA set the process priority to high when in focus, or set to low when not in focus? I guess it may resolve it.
thestrangestick Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 Putting mine into window mode, with mod or with the mta command, cause horrific lag whatever I'm running or not running in the background.
szlend Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 Well I can play fine in windowed mode. Actually, playing fullscreen makes me almost invincible so I cannot play in any deathmatch servers. Changing to window mode seems to fix that. I have no idea why
kevuwk Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 windowed mode was mainly put back in (it was taken out in dp1) so people could test scripts a lot easier
50p Posted January 29, 2008 Posted January 29, 2008 Also, when you're in window mode and right-click somewhere outside the game's window the list which pops up lags the game too.
madis Posted January 29, 2008 Posted January 29, 2008 Try using lower resolution of game, so the window will be smaller.
Simbad de Zeeman Posted March 2, 2008 Posted March 2, 2008 turn of Anti alias then your game runs fine... i had that too.
Mr.Hankey Posted March 2, 2008 Posted March 2, 2008 I have the same problem but for me every window or popup that has an opacity lower than 100% causes this problem. For example i used winamp with an opacity of about 60% and it made the game lag like hell so i changed it to 100% and everything worked fine...
Mr.Hankey Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 Try to disabel a CPU-core good idea if you use a pentium4 3.2 Ghz processor
allah-cool Posted March 9, 2008 Posted March 9, 2008 I have window mod and there is lag but it does not ruin the gaming experience, on the HUGE races it can go down to 11 but I dont really care racing on 11FPS. Its better to go on MSN and iTunes with MTA at the same time.
