The problems i describe below are already solved. The reason I post them here is that if anyone is having the same problems, here is the way how I got them solved:
The problems:
"disconnects on loading arena's"
This problem was very annoying, it was unpossible for me to join an arena while being in ss. It would load very slowly and eventually it disconnected. Luckily I could still switch arena's when I switched to chat mode.
"people not seeing my bombs/bullets"
My ?lag showed "Current: 90ms Average: 90ms High: 120ms S2C=0.0% C2S=0.0%", seems ok I thought, but after playing a bit. I noticed people didnt die that often to my bombs or bullets. When asking around, people said they didnt see many bombs or bullets coming from me.
It happened just to often to be only bad luck. So after asking a moderator to check my weapon packetloss, he told me I didnt have any weapon packetloss.
And I don't believe whole TW is cheating. So the problem must be somewhere at my side.
After asking around a bit, no one seemed to know how to solve those two problems, nor did they seen them before.
I tried several things:
- Reinstalling continuum
- playing a bit with the settings of continuum
- Upgrading continuum to 0.39-pre-release 1
- Reinstalling windows xp
None of these solved the problem.
The problems only started after I bought some new hardware for my computer.
So during a night a ran memtest86+ (a programe that checks if the memory is causing errors). When I looked at the log page the next morning, I saw a rather large list full of errors. It didnt look that well. So I went into the bios. Checked if all value's were as they are supposed to be.
Then I noticed a rather odd setting. There was a setting that optimized my computer if set. It was set by default. But to optimize my computer it highered some of the voltage settings, causing my memory to fail... After setting the value to "manual", in other words "off", I ran memtest86+ again. This time it gave none errors what so ever.
Starting up continuum i noticed my problems were gone.
So if you get odd problems in continuum, it might just be your memory.
Or some bios that is trying to "optimize" your computer.
Hope this will help someone in the future,
