Hi, I am sure there is some bug on server AVP. My game is not smooth at all. Everyone looks like they are lagging. It gets worst when I play treanch toast map. And my frequency doesnt set to 125. It vary from 50 to 100 doesnt set on 125. Feel like lagging everything. I try to reduce resolution give low details but still everything is lagging. Finally I format Vista install everything new including game. But still I am facing lot of problems. I went to AVP1 server and it works smooth on all high setting and resolution. Please look in it. Thanks, Legend

vista is crap...all games will work fine on it but old ones wont. U can play 1.4 without troubles but 1.0 is tough nut to break.
Run wolf under XP sp2 compatibility and once in game if you're using dual/quadro core, press either ctrl + alt + del or if it throws u in control window just press ctrl + shift + esc to get directly in task manager, go there under processes and pick wolf and click with right button and pick affinity, there uncheck all cores but last one, so wolf runs only on 1 core, it worked best for me on cpu 1 as cpu 0 is shared with system, in quadro core i suggest u try with last and if wont work then pick cpu 1 or cpu2 etc... but don't pick 0 as it will run as crap...
Only good thing in vista is that it remembers what core u picked so u don't need to do that over and over again, lame part is that on some maps you'll get low fps's or if you're on ati 3000+ series then you'll get crashes to- if u idd are on ati then disable A.I. under catalyst to cancel major fps drop...
that's pretty much all u can do, unless if u have amd cpu, then u can download and install dual/quadro fix, there is nothing for intel in that matter tho...
GL!
P.S. Go back to xp, in 2 years windows 7 will come out x)

Vista is crap for low processors and ram I agree. But if you have good hardware then it will work twice faster than xp sp2. Fortunetly I got quad core processor and 4 gig ram and it runs like a heaven. ;D Xp doesnt work good quad core machines. Copy/searching/booting running twice speed than xp lol. My problem was everything lags on AVP when last cycle is on. It is working fine today with that single map running on today. Everything were lagging in last cycle and treanch toaste map frequency doesnt stay at one point it goes down straignt to 50 then 70 then back to 50 and everyone were lagging. Maybe on server frequency might need to set for all maps 125 etc so all maps frequency might not vary. And I have nvidia graphic card 9600 gt I installed latest drivers but I had problem yesterday. I will check about dual/qudro fix today. Thank you Legend

It should work fine with dual 3.0 and 4 gb ram. What is your ram speed? and mobo? hdd speed? Do you try vista x86 or x64? Or vista sp1? Vista preactivated or cracked?

No offence legend but i probably know more about tech stuff you do And to satisfy you're need, my mobo is asus p5q- open for tweaking at south and north bridge, my cpu is unlocked but running at default speed, my ram is qcz Rapid fire also tweak able by 3v per each side without breaking guaranty, as for hdd is wd sata2- 200 gb ( i don't need a lot and i have more pc's that work as databases...) 10.000 rpm, 32mb catch. All together running on zalman cooler with 6 extra coolers, 650w power supply with my ati hd 3870 that needs 450w to work and for resolution i use 510w which gives me 140w to fool around and cpu takes at full usage 70w (build on 45nm) which leaves me that extra 2w per cooler and rest of usb keys or any dvd etc... Whole pc was build up from top to bottom by me, i bought only once in my life preconfigured pc and that was the last time... i order each part on my own and build it from scratch and configure it on my own As for the windows, well i build them on my own, took the clean direct cd copy and strip the garbage out and put in the stuff that was meant to be in

i never turn of pc so i don't need light show in my room, have a mouse with red light due transparent surface which reflects IR beam and have keyboard with blue light which i forget to turn off most of the times, i'm lucky since i fall a sleep with tv on (i can't sleep any other way) or i get freaked out due light show beaming in my head P.S vista also also brings my cpu for almost 6-8 degrees up and thats killing it in a long run so xp saves me here

My pc is always on it hasnt shut down since last 2 months! The advantage is if I wake up in the night I can see things and I dont put my foot on any cats around and I dont have to turn on any other light Disadvantage is the hdd led on the tower which doenst stay on and keep blinking and it is so powerful that when it gives ghost effect in the night when I wake up so I have to cover the front before I sleep. I dont worry about temp coz its always cold in UK and still I have 3 extra fans in in tower except cpu and psu And my pc make bedroom a bit warn so I dont feel much cold when I am doing something.. only my right hand gets cold which is on the mouse. lol P.S I have two keyboards and two mouse with this pc. My unc bought me wireless keyboard and mouse and they dont work good when I play games so I attached old ones (wired) and show him I use both. So he doesnt get upset. But I use wired only & wirelss is under the table lol!!

so LO the answer is finding the key to how 1.4 works better under vista than it does under 1.0 ? we need help in working that out .. maybe the guy who makes the gaming patches , luigi ? perhaps also .... we need a ready made stand alone rtcw 1.4 mod ( 443 meg ) same as the 1.0 mod which has clocked a few downloads up. or maybe its been left too late. as i worked on that 1.4 keyless server with PB with Fiester , (hes new name now ) anyways it never really took off. and you guys please no Pc's at dawn at 20 paces

Today AVP working good with single round map. My frequency is good no lagging 124-125 only sometimes it goes 90 when I go more open area. Treanch toaste is much better today it goes 100 to 125 much better than 50 -60. working smooth today. Thank you.

I think that 1.0 doesn't have dual cpu's support, they may added later on that. I didn't yet test it on 1.31 but on 1.4 works without problems even on vista lol. We could put 1.31 to 1.0 and problem would be solved along with client side coding and PB, but that damn protocol is though nut to break

As you said 1.4 patch will be good if I installed on my pc. Ok I have this 1.0 mod + I have rtcw disc. Can I patch this 1.0 mod with 1.4 or just fresh install and apply patch on it? What will be best? Thank you.

make a copy of the rtcw 1.0 on your pc rename the copy of 1.0 to rtcw1.0 etc
(not sure if the 1.4 patch will upgrade the 1.0 mod or if it needs a fresh install ? ) anyways rename original to "return to castle wolfenstein" as the 1.4 upgrade will look for that etc
if not install from the disk if disk not want to install open disk and click on the install .bat this will force it to install ect

It wont work... u can't connect from different version.... if u didn't buy your game and have unique serial key there is no use for u to be on 1,4 as PB will kick u on most of the servers...
U need to downgrade now or install it once more and don't patch it, to run 2 different versions read what Richard wrote...
