LAG PROBLEMS
« on: December 01, 2011, 03:02 AM »
Hello, I am having some bad screen lag issues. It happens offline and online.  I have windows 7 and using Nvidia Geforce GT540M whatever that means.  I use a fantastic gaming laptop but for some reason i get these screen lags that will almost always insure that I will f@#! up on the rope, f@#! up a jump, or f@#! up powering a weapon... they come in waves and then will stop for a while and then come back. I tried setting WA to high priority but that didn't work. Who can help this poor man?

pff, sucks man.

I had problems (almost permanent screen lags) when I installed PX and its modules for some reason. it was as if every few frames there were some missing, like seeing the film roll in a black and white movie :P  The minute I deleted PX this went away.

Probably not what you are looking for huh?

Shy, I had the same issue and KRD helped me fix it.

1. Go to Control Panel
2. Go to NVIDIA Control Panel
3. Click the tab that says "Manage 3D Settings"
4. Click "Program Settings"
5. Select WA.exe from the list (if it's not there, click "Add")
6. Scroll down the bottom list until there's "Vertical Sync", set it to "off"

Lags should be fixed, it worked for me with a comparable notebook. The only problem which I still encounter is that my FPS drop to ~10 whenever a skunk's poison is released. But I can live with that. xD

disabling vertical sync can make the irritating texture flickerings when playing on a big map. this doesn't happen everywhere, but it can.
also, VSync can be turned off in PX.

Dec 30 2013 23:59:44 <StepS> windowed mode isn't the only thing you need about frontend
Dec 30 2013 23:59:49 <StepS> you need it to be actually bigger
Dec 31 2013 00:00:13 <StepS> it actually is very small on my 15-inch full HD screen
Dec 31 2013 00:00:25 <StepS> while running at 640x480 or stretched mode makes it fuzzy
Dec 31 2013 00:00:44 <StepS> this problem has been around since the Worms Armageddon's release and no one has even tried to beat it

Thanks for the information StepS, but I know perfectly well that ShyGuy wouldn't care about possible flickering on big maps as long as the screenlags are gone. And disabling VSync is the only possibility to get rid of them. The only one I know of, at least.

maybe install a different driver version? I've heard people having success with different drivers ;/ sucky solution, but just maybe it will work
