Topic: Prediction time reset

Hi all,

I have a problem that I can reproduce with all servers :
When I play, each 1-2 minutes, the game will freeze for 1 seconde, which make the game rather unplayable.
When freezing the game shows : "Connection problem..." and in the console, I can see this message : "Prediction Time Reset".
Seems that my internet connection is OK, as without this freeze, the game is totally OK.
Does anybody already met this problem ? How to solve it ?

Thank you for your help!
Bye!

Re: Prediction time reset

Server may have some problems - big ping from your computer to server, map changing or any other settings whichs applying needs some time

Re: Prediction time reset

No, no, I don't think that it is this reason : ping is low (under 50), and it occurs during the game, each 1-2 minutes, so it is not because map is loading or changing, or some initialisation problem...

But thank you for your answer ;-)

Does any developper has some idea of what is happening in this case ?

Re: Prediction time reset

in fact, I use teeworlds on 2 computers.
One is totally OK, and the other one has this problem.

Both have firewalls (same soft) and on both firewalls I gave the autorisation for teeworlds. Both computers are using WLAN.
No download on both computers.
And I have no problem in servers browser.

I don't know, but could it be problem with graphic card ?

Thanks again for all your answers smile

Re: Prediction time reset

@Dani : Thank you for your answers  :-)

OS : Windows XP SP3
graphic card : ATI Radeon 9600 (last drivers uptodate)
RAM : 768 Mo
CPU : Mono core. 1.7 GHz
I'm using WLAN.

Does somebody exactly knows what means : "Prediction time reset" ?
Maybe developpers would know why they send this error message ?

Re: Prediction time reset

first version of tw you play?
afaik ATI Radeon 9600 got bad opengl drivers..maybe the full game is running on your cpu
wlan could be that problem too .. laggy connection in other games?

Re: Prediction time reset

Yes, first time I play TW. So I start with version 0.5.1
I don't think that problem comes from connection as I don't have problem in other games.

But OK, anyway, I can play on another computer with no lag, so I'll keep use this one.
I was just wondering what could be the issue on the other computer.
Thanks again!

The connection from your home to the ISP could be okay. But what about the server itself? There are plenty of laggy server and if they are located far away from you, you shouldn't worry. Can you please try to connect server with <70 ping and tell us your experience

Re: Prediction time reset

I have tried with 4 servers with ping around 40. And all have the same problem.
It is why I'm thinking that it is not dealing with connection.

But maybe I'm wrong ;-)

Re: Prediction time reset

close all other applications you don't need. Some ppl reported they get lags when a browser is running in the background. I e.g. do have problems when winamp runs.

Re: Prediction time reset

The teeworlds client tries to predict the moves of the other players
so that the client doesn't freeze every 2 seconds if a message
from the server to client is a bit slower as the other or even gets lost.
This applies especially to slower internet connections where teeworlds
would get nearly unplayable cause it freezes very often.

The message "Prediction time reset" means that the client
had not received a packet (a message) from the server since a certain time.
This could also happen if the tw-server is frozen,
the internet connection is broken or the client is to slow to process the messages
from the server.
