We also have a link to GZDoom 1.8.6 and other builds of relevance like this in the upstream downloads folder:

I might try a few versions later up from 1.8.6 to see if they work and if they do, I'll post what works to make it easier.

Can you elaborate? This works fine for me. Also, it won't hurt to try with a fresh INI.


I seriously thought it was a general problem. My first post was just to verify if other people were experiencing the same problem (this does not seem to be the case apparently). I won't raise a ticket yet, as i'm currently collecting further information.

To further elaborate on the matter: Since i mostly die early on in the coop/survival stuff (due to not enough skills), i get a lot to spectate the remainder of the round. With zan 3.0 (as opposed to the testing versions and 2.1.2), it seems that in spectator mode the movement of the guy i'm following is stuttering heavily now (all doomguys, all pings). Otherwise this was very smooth (taking into account the ping of other players). I said "lag" in my first post, but this seems not to be a correct description, i really is stuttering, not lag. "Heavily" means: "very unpleasant to watch comfortably", "like a streaming movie you watch on the internet, but better should lower resolution, since you are exceeding slightly your bandwith". Not a huge problem, but very noticeable....

I keep you posted, but most likely it is just my configuration (server-side or client side) i have to dig in some further. Oh yeah, I started with a new config. ini (client side).

regards,

It'd be nice that grandvoid updated their servers to 3.0.

It usually takes them a week or two. But a highly accurate estimate would be "under a month".

do you have windows 10 AND an intel hd 4000 and older? if so I have a bad news for you.

Yes it appears both of those are the case, ever since windows 10 has been constantly forced down my throat through a feeding tube, I am also 100% sure I will jump with joy at the bad news.

At least its reported here https://zandronum.com/tracker/view.php?id=3116
We cant do nothing but pray for intel :rolleyes: :evil:
or, type vid_fps 1 on console all the time you start zandronum

EDIT: if it doesnt hurt, Torr, could 3.1 have a support to store the vid_fps cvar so I could always start with that enabled or disabled?

I could possibly make a custom script myself and make it so it autoloads with the mods when I want to play single player, I'd just have to find the time and attention span for it, I am pretty sure consolecommand doesn't work anymore? Or at least not that I know of but I'll find a way, I should also let you know it worked regardless, now I can finally get on with my work to some extent.

Does this mean that annoying displacement bug with sky portals is fixed or closer to being fixed? WDI01 of WhoDunIt for instance, I built that skybox with anchors throughout that entire map without the knowledge of that limitation and it was always a coin toss whether it worked properly or not. This is merely for future reference.

No, that is talking about maps with several thousands of monsters. When you try to connect to a server after a lot of the monsters have been killed or awakened, the server was trying to send all that information in one tic, which it couldn't, so you would be disconnected for losing more than 1024 packets. That is greatly improved now because the server now limits how much it sends in one tic, and the buffer is increased from 1024 packets to 2048. So, if a server is hosting holyhell, for example, and players are halfway through the map, you will now be able to connect and join the game, where that would have been impossible before.

The bug you're talking about might or might not be fixed, but it is not the bug mentioned in the quote you quoted.

At last, the glory that is 2.7.1 code in an official stable Zandronum release.

Looks to me like the change described is merely between client/server interaction based on the amount of actors in one map, thus how I came to my question on whether or not this would effect the behavior of skybox actors and make them more reliable when the map is loaded in. Considering the issue with the skybox portal seemed to be server side considering whenever the map was loaded in, everyone experienced the same issues in the exact same places. To my recollection, that was the conclusion that was reached when WDI was still in testing. If it was an issue between client/server packet transfer (be it packet size or what have you), I'd think that an improvement like this would help resolve an issue like this. The example in my head being: Clients load into map but the server can't properly spawn in every single anchor actor or something happens between the packets being sent to the clients due to the amount on the map, thus leading to the sky breaking in multiple sectors or just completely so the server resolves to sit there with broken anchors. Of course, I could be mistaken on how this works because as of now I can't really recall any other actors being effected this way, but that's the first thought that popped in my mind when I read about the packet increase.

This looks like a job for an experiment!

If I could round up enough people, say a good 12-16 clients and just play that map on a loop , I'd love to see if this change has made any substantial improvements. If so, I can be confident in taking a map like Echo Ridge and doing to it what I had originally intended.
