System specs are

windows xp
intel core 2 duo E6550 @ 2.33 GHz
2.00 GB ram
Msi 8600 GT

i run with the game settings maxed @ around 45 fps


So I have been playing UT3 for a while now and recently out of now where I picked up a good 40 ms of ping and shots i fire are not always displayed (hitting invisible shock combos for the win). Also occasionally i get wierd things such as mounting the hoverboard makes the camera view where i last died, or spawning without weapons until i scroll, or just spawning with enforcer and piston and i have to run and pick up weapons.


This occurs heavily on umg and pub's warfare servers. But will occur elsewhere as well. The hard thing about this is i can not isolate the problems. After patch 2.0 my performance improved, and now out of nowhere its unplayable to extremely annoying at best.

prior to this i would get some minor stuff like pulse on link not displaying (reclick and it would), or a weapon stickingnext to my character. was never a big enough or common enough problem to find out whats wrong but thought i would post it now :p
