The maps won't lag. They just give ****-poor framerates.

• Other Servers, does this problem occur on other servers both GSA and WOL Mode?
• LAN, does this problem occur on LAN games?
• Framerate, Does the cleints framerate vary more then that of the normal version of the map?

What connection do all your PC's have and how are they connected to the internet?

I know thse questions may seem not related but they might just help solve the problem. I have come up with an idea but i'll need the answers to the questions first.

Internet <--> CableModem<->CrimmysPC NIC #1.(public IP)
             100mbit Hub<->CrimmysPC NIC #2.(192.168.0.1)

Well, here's what I have experienced. When Crimson was running the normal maps, I never experienced lag of any kind whatsoever. But now with the new maps, and nothing changed except using the new maps, I lag like crazy. The SFPS is still high, my ping is still almost 0, but for instance on walls-flying when I try to enter the side tunnel to go to the top of the mountain, I always lag/teleport back outside the ramp unless I run to the entrance and pause for a bit.

Also on top of the mountain any time I run after I stop running, my character (using 3rd person view) slides a few meters while standing still.

I'm not the only one experiencing it, there have been many, many lag complaints with the new maps, and even Crimson herself has noticed it.

Since the only thing that has changed is the use of these modified maps, I am assuming the maps are causing it somehow. I was hoping it was just a VIS problem, and NeoSaber could add VIS data to fix it, but now that we have ruled that out...I dunno what the problem is.

The FDS is running on PC3 in WOL mode, meaning that you CANNOT make a LAN connection to the game, it will always be a net connection.

This means PC1 and PC2 are actually using the server IP and the servers bandwidth to connect to the server not your LAN's, i.e they join the game over the internet, not your LAN. As far as i know you can't use your lan IP to join an internet server. Your ping will be 0 as your sending data back to yourself.

It's a bit hard to understand what i'm going on about, someone else may know but this is the only think i can think causeing the lag.

Wrong. I connect in LAN mode via +connect. My packets go directly through the 100mbit hub to the server, NOT out to the internet and back again. I have always connected this way, and never had a problem until the map change, at which point everyone also noticed problems...why is everyone so quick to dismiss the obvious and say it is user error
