Could you provide a more detail description of the problem, along with your OS info?

I talked to Spank, im having the same problem

Problem: Game still continues at normal speed, but our inputs (click here, type, ect) dont work, so our guy stays stationary.

Very frustrating

Example: (true) I go up to fight with my team on the North Hill, and my guy just stops moving. I watch as the other team comes up to me, and i continue clicking and typing "move move move"...then they throw a nade, and my guy continues to sit. I regained control of my guy as the nade exploded on his chest, killing him.

I dont know if the same is true in regular, but a quick fix would be nice because ww2 is pretty much all i play, and so with this bug or input lag or whatever it is, gameplay is gone and theres no purpose in playing myth anymore. I also havn't checked the co-ops yet.

OS info
Mac G4
Os9.2
64 mb AGP Radeon card (8500)

I believe spank is also on a mac, but I dont know what OS he is on

have you tried using the different input schemes? If you go into preferences, (maybe under controls?) there is an option to use GDI or DirectInput, try both and see if one of them works better for you. You might also want to try the "Yield CPU" option.

I'll send a film, but where too? also, does that apply to macs doobie?

i dunno if it will help, but it might; plus it couldn't hurt.

send to cik(at)projectmagma.net. The input thing is only a Windows option so it won't help you Morphine. But yes it sounds either like an input problem or a network one (ie packets not getting to the host). Ddi this happen to you at all in pb#1? Nothing changed in the input code for Macs since pb#1, so it'd help if we could eliminate some possibilities up front. Does it happen in every game you play? Perhaps could you try a solo game and see if it occurs as well.

it was a rather rare bug/lag problem in 1.1-1.4.3

I had that with 1.4.x but now that 1.5 is around it got fixed somehow

XP, Athlon 2600, nVIDIA 5900 128MB, 512DDR

I didn't have it with 1.4 or 1.5b1

Its every multiplay game i do, but solo works fine

Should I try reinstalling? donno if that would affect anything, but its worth a shot?

I'll send some films of ww2, reg, co-op, and maybe some of gfgg if i can get a game

so I guess im just fucked until the new version comes out?

btw, checked it out more, I get it less on OSX (1-4 times a game rather than 6-15), but because i get roughly 15fps on OSX with openGL, the graphics are such that quick movements are difficult, so im kinda screwed in either place.

We're looking to see if there's any reason for it that we can find. If you could send a film of a game where it happened to me (iron(at)projectmagma.net) and tell me where the loss of control occurred, I should be able to tell to a degree what's going on...
