On casual or community servers my game is fine, but then i play a scrim pug or official my mouse starts cutting up and it feels like i have 30 fps and i dont know why

#

it never used to happen before

#

but suddenly these past weeks this has been happening

storm glacier
#

could you record this with net_graph 4 enabled?

alpine folio
#

i cant record anything

#

but it goes from

#

190 for example

#

to 110

#

to 90

#

this is kind of a way i could explain it

#

everything becomes

#

REALLY choppy

#

almost as if every 2nd frame is on 0.5x speed

storm glacier
#

and specifically only on scrims/officials is when it goes choppy?

alpine folio
#

yeah

#

on casual i can play for hours

#

and nothing like that pops up

#

its so strange

storm glacier
#

do you open any software when joining a scrim/official?

#

mumble or anything?

alpine folio
#

uh

#

on pugs i open mumble

#

on scrims i only have dc open

storm glacier
#

is it possible that you could get in a mumble call or something to kinda mimic what it'd be like?

#

see if it becomes choppy then

alpine folio
#

i cant record anything tho

#

but mumble is really

#

really light

#

i dont see how mumble could cause this

storm glacier
#

well we gotta narrow down the troubleshooting scope

#

see what may be causing this

#

a recording would be better ofc but you don't have to

alpine folio
#

idk i legit cant record anything

#

i dont have a recording software

#

nor a clipping software

#

would completely mess up my performance

storm glacier
#

depends on your specs and your recording settings

#

what're your specs?

alpine folio
#

holup

#

its german but should be self explanatory

storm glacier
#

do you know what your GPU is?

alpine folio
storm glacier
#

hm yeah not great

alpine folio
#

yep

storm glacier
#

recording's still feasable but again that's up to you

#

and not like recording a whole match, just a little snippet of gameplay while it's choppy

#

but again, up to you

storm glacier
alpine folio
#

does demos maybe include this all?

#

i have a demo of a match i just palyed

#

played

storm glacier
#

unfortunately not sure if that'll be adequate enough

alpine folio
#

fuck

#

i legit cant record anything

#

especially in a game too

#

i legit am not sure what could be causing this

#

on casual its fine

#

i played like

#

a hour of casual

#

and it was perfectly fine

#

and then i join a pug or a scrima

#

and my game shits itself

storm glacier
#

and so, step 1 is to mimic the conditions while you're in a pug etc

#

launching any voice chat applications/getting in a call etc would be step 1

#

see if it lags then

#

if not, later when you join another pug/scrim server, if possible keep everything closed and see if you can swap back-and-forth between the pug/scrim server and to a different community server or something

alpine folio
#

wdym mimic the conditions?

#

i cant rlly play a pug without mumble

storm glacier
#

when you're ready to go into a pug etc, swap back and forth between the pug server and a regular community server

alpine folio
#

i cant ill get a ban

storm glacier
#

that's dumb

alpine folio
#

but i know for a fact its either the program

#

or the

#

servers

#

i dont think my config could be apart of the problem

storm glacier
#

i mean it's either server plugins or whatever voice application you're using

#

as you said

#

unless you're changing tf2 settings whenever you go into a comp server, it's likely not your config

alpine folio
#

na i dont touch my game

storm glacier
#

ok so for now, is it possible that you could open up mumble and go into a vc or something and then hop onto casual or a community server

#

see if mumble's causing it

alpine folio
#

but

#

i play scrims

#

without mumble

#

and it still happens

storm glacier
#

i'm assuming you've been in a call in discord while playing in casual or a community server, right?

#

if that's true and it didn't lag then i'm inclined to say it's the servers

alpine folio
#

rlly?

#

i mean what could be

#

included on the servers

storm glacier
#

i mean the comp servers have a variety of plugins and settings set

#

i couldn't tell you any specifics since i don't set up/mess with tf2 servers

alpine folio
#

maybe one of the other people do

#

that help ppl out

storm glacier
#

when you're on the comp servers, does your whole game lag or is it just your mouse stuttering

alpine folio
#

whole game

#

it feels like its skipping frames

#

i think that makes more sense

storm glacier
#

does it happen at all points in the game or is it primarily during the pregame etc

alpine folio
#

????

#

LIKE

#

my messages just got deleted by the bot

#

anyways, at the start of the round

#

its fine

#

i get to mid and then my game starts to die

#

for the rest of the game

storm glacier
#

is it like that in all game modes, i.e. payload?

alpine folio
#

yeah

alpine folio
#

@storm glacier

storm glacier
#

kk

pale lark
#

You should probably monitor your thermals

alpine folio
#

Im on a laptop too

pale lark
#

Yeah definitely check your thermals

alpine folio
#

Okay so I found out today

#

It happens only on 6s

#

I played a couple HL tf2 center games and a scrim today and I was fine

pale lark
#

Do you have the same programs open between the two? (Mumble or w/e)

alpine folio
#

I have Hardware acceleration on for some reason

#

Isn't that meant to be off

#

I played on a old cfg of mine too today

#

Seemed to be alright

storm glacier
#

for better performance, it's better for it to be off

pale lark
alpine folio
#

Na I always end up closing DC before my match starts if I have to use mumble

pale lark
storm glacier
# pale lark Explain pls

hardware acceleration within apps would use up more resources or offload usage to certain hardware to help that specific app run smoother

#

so, if you're wanting maximum performance within games etc then you'd want those hardware acceleration settings disabled

#

although now that i think about it, might be too broad of an idea since it'll really be dependent on what app it is and what it does

storm glacier
# pale lark Explain pls

and i also just realized that they could've been talking about windows hardware accel or something that would actually be beneficial to set, i assumed that they were talking about hw accel within mumble or discord

storm glacier

#

depends if you've got a 1060 running a 1440p monitor and getting 98% gpu usage while playing tf2 xd

#

at least in discord's case i think that would just mean more overall usage though

#

i don't think it lessens the amount of resource usage you'd be using in total, just adding more strain
