I know, most of you are already used to the roping on the newest updates, but now when classic league can be played only with 3.7 update there is players who may try to move on it in the near future..
personally for me getting used to the new update roping was pain in the ass, but why is that? in fact nothing has changed except drawing modes. Well, thats the problem.. or to be more preсise, fps (frames per second) it gives.
It may sound strange but since there is no fps limit on the previous versions players got used to the very large values of FPS and even very small FPS drop that we cant notice still makes roping feels much more different, simply because we are used to a different FPS. If you played ttrr alot in past you probably already noticed that roping on a png map feels kinda strange, it become obvious once you realize W:A works a bit slower when it draw color maps instead of bit.
So.. back to the problem. To get the same rope feeling as before you gotta get the same fps, thats the key. And for that purpose you'll need a prog such as fraps or any other fps counter, next step is: check what fps you have on the old update, for me it was ~500fps, and the last step: setup new update to achieve closest FPS to the one you had on the previous update which is pretty hard because none of modes works as fast as the 3.6. update, at least for me.. so you gotta experiment with draw modes, if none of them is fast enough try to set a smaller resolution, it will speed up the game alot. good luck in moving to the new update:D
