Sorry I kinda ditched my team, but when things happen in real life (like the phone ringing and it being somebody I have to talk to) I'd rather just close the game than idle and take up a team slot doing nothing.

So that's why I left.

I left because some people forget it's a game and spend the entire time whining that their team isn't winning or how everyone isn't bowing to their every wish in order to get the power up and win the game.

In case you're implying I was doing that (though I don't really remember whining, it's possible), I was only getting annoyed because my team was getting into the courtyard long enough to repair the tank, but nobody was. So I went engi and did it myself...but then I had to go.

Well ET is out for me for a while.

Until I figure out what the fuck is wrong with my PC, its too unstable for me.. Anyone else having any issues? My PING is fine, stays at or around 50 or so. Steady, I randomly but constantly get Connection Interrupted, Lag Out Completely for periods at a time. Moving around seems to lock me up. I can stay stationary and function just fine, but moving is bad. I also seem to get thrown into objects alot (No I don't mean by a grenade or panzer blast. ) I just randomly jerk into a wall and get stuck there.

Also just a few minutes ago during map change, the whole thing locked up. I could hear the game, but couldn't see or do anyting and my cursor was leaving tracers all over the place, and menus were frozen...

Before last night I never had any issues. Has something changed, or has it just killed my PC, or is anyone else having any issues?

I've had issues for a few days though was my point. I'm sure the little map switch error issues was because of the server now. Still not sure whats causing the rest. It was a LITTLE lighter tonight, but I still found myself randomly displaced, and Connection Intterupted a lot.

It was happening quite a bit to me tonight, but yours does sound quite a bit more serious. Only things I can think of doing to fix those problems is uninstalling ET and reinstalling it, or lowering some video options. You tried that?

I think I'm playing a bit too much. When I was walking downtown the other day, admiring the buildings, I didn't think "That's some nice molding," or "Hey, that little niche in the wall is pretty neat," but rather "I wonder if that could support me," or "That'd make a great sniper spot."

My refrigerator made a very distinct "Fwee!" noise the other day and I almost dived for cover.

Also, sometimes while I'm quickly running to the bathroom, I have to look down. To...check for mines.

After 8 hours of playing CS in a cafe me and a friend were walking home when a light went on in a buiding above us, both of us dove for cover behind a dumpster.
Life... is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable, because all you get back is another box of chocolates. You're stuck with this undefinable whipped-mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there's nothing else left to eat. Sure, once in a while, there's a peanut butter cup, or an English toffee. But they're gone too fast, the taste is fleeting. So you end up with nothing but broken bits, filled with hardened jelly and teeth-crunching nuts, and if you're desperate enough to eat those, all you've got left is a... is an empty box... filled with useless, brown paper wrappers.

Umm.. Okay.

That wasn't very helpful to my issue. (If that was in reference to the fact I said "Since last night" and "the last few days" if you check the timestamps, its not contradictory when I said it. )

And I've tried lowering the video options, cept going to 640x480 cause thats just unplayably ugly. No help. Still randomly displaced, especially while running or moving, and Connection Intterupted. If I stay in one spot, and fire/snipe/crouch and shoot. I'm fine. It really only seems to be movement. I'm thinking my card may be dying. Gonna try uninstall/reinstall next.

You get connection interrupts but your ping is good? Strange, sound like packet loss or maybe a hardware / wire error. May be a problem with your network setup / card, try calling up your ISP and asking if they've been having any problems recently.

If you're not an engineer you might as well since you won't be getting off those mines without one.

I love ET.

What I love MORE is having fun with the engine and maps. Like mortar wars (See who can blow each other off the other side of the map first!), Rifle Grenade pool (BanZai is good at it. ), and, of course, Jihad!

Oh, and Rail gun is nigh perfect for the mortar.
