| Summary | 0000659: Animations are jerky / not smooth | ||||||||
| Description | When playing over network (not local), all animations are jerky. When playing local (or beeing host) they are perfectly smooth. Guessed Reason: About 4 NETMSG_NEWFRAME's are bundled in one UDP-packet. The game executes all new frames first and then continue drawing, resulting in bumping units / nanos. | ||||||||

Will you look at this yourself or should I take a look sometime? |
|

I don't have time to look at it atm, so if you have some time it would be nice when you take a look. |

I did some further investigations: - its not that bad (== its not worse than in previous versions) - its only worse when i run 2 instances on the same computer (maybe related to slower framerate) - when units move straightforward, I don't recognize lag at all - units stutter only when rotating, changing directions etc. - in demos, the amount of stuttering is the same - it gets better the higher the gamespeed is (and it is worst on lowest speed), probably because more gameframes are executed per time |

Try having Tombom host, that leads to stuttery animations too. |

Are these bugs related? - http://spring.clan-sy.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=13069 |

It seems to be better after I decreased the time waiting data was buffered before sending. The downside is it increased the network load, but the current value seems a good choice to me. Please comment... |

IMHO 20 packets/sec should be the default, currently there is some jerkiness noticeable. Also, if 30 packets/sec wouldn't be hard on the network, I'd actually prefer that. |

Fixed it: After each new frame created, the server flushes the net and sending all remaining data. This results in exactly 30 packets/s to each client at normal gamespeed (Valve's Source-Engine has a similar packet rate, so it should not be too high). I also reverted the time the data is hold in buffer so clients send less packets. |

according to satirik animations are still jerky |
|
tvo (reporter) 2007-12-31 16:29 |
Didn't happen when someone else hosted so assuming that was not a Spring problem. |
|
tvo (reporter) 2007-12-31 17:16 |
Yet another note: satirik and I tested 0.75b2 and SVN, and 0.75b2 is apparently clearly less jerky then SVN ... I'll try to take a look too ASAP. |

reintroduced some code that was removed in r4487, see http://spring.clan-sy.com/fisheye/changelog/Spring/?cs=5192 according to KDR_11k this it was super smooth again, but need to test some more (vs tombom or satirik). Assume it's finally entirely fixed tho, unless I add more notes :-) |
