Question about Char Mode/ Rubber Banding Movement

Unread post by sypher001 »

Greetings,

Can you possibly help me (or point me in right direction)? I just started back into the game on playing on this PW and really like it all for one thing that is driving me nuts...

In character mode (the only feature i can really find that matches a typical MMO movement/camera view), when i move i sort of "rubber band" or sometimes turn 90 degrees or completely around for no reason... I have no lag... all other commands seem responsive.. have over 50 FPS... 50 MB internet so shouldnt be that... and it didnt seem to happen when i first started mid day yesterday, but late last night (kinda seemed to start with server reset but could be wrong)... it happens...

Its so annoying i almost cant play like that... and it doesnt seem to be lag related... my friend who is on a WAY crappier machine and was on my LAN the other day didnt see it... but sometimes i was warping 50 ft back when i would do something, and he wouldnt....

Is this sort of normal with Char mode? anything else i can do to mimic a typical MMO movement style or fix this??

Any help is appreciated!

NWN2 isn't made to play in this mode with the ASWD keys. You don't lag, but the walkmesh will annoy you most of the time, and you'll teleport very often.

You should try to use the exploration mode and get used to it, it's a mode similar to the old Baldur's Gate games.

ASWD keys can be used, but the 'rubber banding' comes with it sadly.

Also, if you use the ext. client, try the command /mpredict, it might help just a little. But the walkmesh will still annoy you. :(

Use Char mode only for screenshots, I say. It allows for better shots. Use explo for everything else.
