SDL lag

SDL lag

Postby esc?nebuLa » Nov 2nd, '17, 9:27 am

I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing slight input and audio lag with SDL.dll. Engines without SDL (idfe.exe or dfengine for example) perform as expected. I'm unsure what causes this. Tried tweaking a few of the s_* commands to no avail. Any help please?

Try:
Code: Select all
in_mouse 3
s_useOpenAL 1
snd_restart
in_restart


edit: might be 's_useOpenAL 0', dunno try both and see which one works

Put OpenAL.dll from this post to your Quake 3 directory and try settings:
Code: Select all
seta s_useOpenAL "1"
seta s_mixahead "0.05"
seta s_mixPreStep "0"

Clean Quake3 (1.32c) with installed defrag 1.91.25 & dfengine 1.08 + distributives windows/linux versions ioquake3, iodfengine, dfengine and defrag included ("xFiles" folder): cloud.mail.ru | yandex.disk.ru.
All defrag maps repack! <- very useful! Highly recommended!

Thanks xaja! Will test it.

EDIT: I tried the commands and it helps a little, but there's still issues with doppler, plasma, etc. Overall, I just don't like the way SDL sounds and makes the game feel. :/ My checkpoints are slower because of it. There should be zero lag with quad core cpu and gtx 750, yet I feel lag... :violin: Don't mind me playing my violin. lol

Another reason you might have a bit of mouse weirdness is due to dpi scaling in windows. In that case you can try right click the exe -> properties -> compatibility -> check "Override high DPI scaling behavior."

(also use in_mouse 3)
