Quake 4 Multiplayer issues...

[Pesto]

Ok.. i got some weird problems and i was wondering if anyone else had this problem..

I go into the game single player and play fine with no problems what-so-ever. i can get an average of 60 frames single player, but when i join an online server it falls to 3-4 fps and i can't move, even the sound skips around.

I updated to 1.0.4 and still have the issue then tried 1.0.5, same thing.. i tried playing with some of the console commands.. nothing.. i even tried reinstalling!!

My box isn't the fastest in the world but it is pretty nice so that can't be the issue.. but this is the part that really confuses me, the first night i had Q4 and i tried multiplayer, it worked fine! this is for any/all servers regardless of the ping (the average ping i play is 20-180). i even tried a high ping server just for giggles.


so if anyone happens to know what the deal is with this or if it happens to you let me know so i dont totally give up on it..

do you join maps with a lot of people? try joinin ones with like 1 or 2 people. another thing to try is create a lan and see if it still does it, if so its most likely a driver issue. do have access to another that can join your created lan game?
