AndyHill Posted February 6, 2006 Posted February 6, 2006 I've read a lot about the dreaded online stutter issue that was supposedly fixed a long time ago. At least I thought it was until I saw it surface again recently. A friend of mine is having pretty serious connection problems, here's a track of what he sees when we fly: http://tols17.oulu.fi/~ailomaki/lo/kenguru.trk (LO 1.11). What isn't shown on the track is a stutter effect that causes short pauses every few seconds. Doesn't this sound a bit like the earlier stutter issue? What exactly did the stutter fix change? Why would the same kind of behavior manifest itself in 1.11, which supposedly has the stutter fix integrated? Here's a couple of interesting facts: - We tested a couple of hyperlobby servers to see if it was just my server causing the problems and noted that I had no problems whatsoever, but my friend's situation was unchanged. - A third person flying on my server doesn't have stutter problems. - We tested a few pingperiod values, didn't help much, but possibly had an effect on the frequency and magnitude of the periodical pauses. - At first he installed the FC over 1.02 and after running into aforementioned problems he tried a clean install over 1.0 and nothing changed. - AFAIK the stutter fix hasn't been installed as it should be part of 1.11? What would happen if the stutter fix was installed over 1.11? - We tried different connection setting, I have a 10Mb line, he has 512/???. We are in the same town and pings are pretty good (comparable to the third guy we fly with). We have flown lots of Sturmovik without any problems whatsoever. - I'm running on dual cores, forcing Lock on to one core didn't help. I'm also the only one in the group with a dual core. There's another perhaps interesting observation. When flying the missions I don't see anything strange with the problematic plane, except that when he deploys weapons they seem to hit before the weapon actually meets the target. It's like the planes were out of synch a little. Here's a track I recorded with the three of us flying a co-op: http://tols17.oulu.fi/~ailomaki/lo/threesome.trk It's a long track, you're only interested in the early parts of it. Actually, you don't want to see it to the end. In fact, I totally FORBID you from watching the end of the track. The other green camo Hog is the problematic one, I was the one recording the track. So would anyone happen to have any suggestions? Anyone suffering from the same problem? Isn't this pretty much exactly what the stutter patch was supposed to fix? What was the problem back then?

AndyHill Posted February 6, 2006 Author Posted February 6, 2006 Hmm I forgot to mention that the stutter only appears online. It doesn't appear on tracks or off-line. ________________________________________________________ Lock on MUST have toe-brake functionality with differential braking My blog full of incoherent ramblings on random subjects: https://anttiilomaki.wordpress.com/
Panacea Posted April 20, 2007 Posted April 20, 2007 Same problem here, i found this thread only after i started a new one, sorry for that. Is there any solution to this?
Skopro_PL Posted April 21, 2007 Posted April 21, 2007 yeah get the online stutter fix!! unless u guys are running flaming cliffs than u should have 112a..but if not check these out they are the online stutter fixes that should help with your problem.. http://www.lockonskins.co.uk/?page=downloads&cat=72 | 8700k @4.9 | Gigabyte Gaming 7 | 32gb Tridentz @3000 | EVGA 1080 TI SC2 | CV1 | VKB MCG PRO [sigpic]https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FeLGqKyJ3K08k3z-7XaegWgRuGRGkKUs/view?usp=sharing[/sigpic]
Rhen Posted April 21, 2007 Posted April 21, 2007 I had problems with aircraft flopping around like fish out of water when flying close formation and BFM with clients, but no problems offline, and tracked it down to a firewall thing. If you have window firewall or an internet security program running, make sure LOMAC can get through. This solved my problem.
Panacea Posted April 23, 2007 Posted April 23, 2007 I have not figuered out yet what exactly is the problem, but i am pretty sure it is not lomacs fault in my case. I suspect my router, but i have to do more testing to be sure. Thanks for your help anyway!
Panacea Posted April 24, 2007 Posted April 24, 2007 Im running 1.12a, just posted in this thread because i have the exact same problem. Unfortunatly its not reproducable, yesterday i could fly for 1 hour without any problems at all, then suddenly my router(!) lost its connection to the internet. That made me think its not lomacs fault, i cant think of a way how lomac could be able to disconnect my router. Again, i'd need to do a lot of testing to isolate that problem, and right now the weather is just too nice to do this.
