Have you guys changed the way 4.0 calculates the player's position of the map? Because when I'm playing on a 4.0 server everything runs smoothly, but when I'm playing on a 3.4 server it's almost constantly trying to "move" my character by a few meters.

I'm not quite sure what you are referring to with "the physics bug". I don't think TT fixes any physics bugs that may relate to this.
Spyder, I'm assuming that the lag you're describing for 3.4 servers did not happen before you installed TT, right? Otherwise, it's just TT's improved netcode you are noticing.

The lower your frame rate the less often vehicle physics update, if you get a frame rate below 30 some vehicles start bouncing around, and I've even got a few in Rp2 that'll just start spinning and fly away. The faster the frame rate the faster the physics engine is able to update.
Saberhawk said Westwood did something wrong with their timestamps in the physics engine, so it was unlikely to be fixed.

Press F8, and type "nur 30".
Press F8, and type "sbbo 1000000" - depending on your connection. 1000000 = 1 Mbps. If you set it to half your connection speed, you should be ok.
The net update rate is the frequency with which updates are sent to the remote host. For the client, this mostly affects the frequency with which it sends keyboard/mouse movement information to the server. 30 is the default, highest possible value, and it should work fine on pretty much every connection. (Note: I'm talking about the client! The server also uses a nur, and it may be better to set it a little lower there.)
The sbbo (set bandwidth budget out) is just the amount of bandwidth that is supposed to be used by Renegade.
But if it works fine for 4.0 servers, I don't think either of these will make a difference. Instead, could you make a video of exactly what you're noticing? Possibly I can see what's causing it.

Tbf, people shouldn't have to manually set this everytime they join a server. The client should have it done for them.

You don't have to do this every time. It's just that we haven't had feedback on this yet (or I haven't seen it), which is something we need in order to improve things.
@Spyder
What if you set it to half of your connection, does that help? And, on what server are you playing? EU/US, TT/non-TT those kinds of things?

I have a 30mbit connection, so it's somewhat at half my connection. I'm playing on the St0rm 4.0 AOW server (US). My ping is ~130 - 170 (which is 50ms less than stock ren) and FPS is stable. However, still getting ghost players, including myself ghosting. I have been shot several times while running around at one side of the map, and someone else saw my ghost on the other side of the map. Harvesters are ghosting fairly often too.
