I'm hosting a few MW2 servers on my Ubuntu 10.04 machine (x64), and after r97 was announced I started using the 4D1 client for my servers again (instead of aRev). Since then I have experienced a strange kind of lag/delay on my servers while the CPU usage is always less than 25%. The connection and Ram aren't the cause either. I even tried taking a few servers offline, but no succes.

 

This is a screenshot from the Lagometer on a server with no lag at all:

 

 

But when I use the 4D1 client the blue goes under the white bars which is causing a lot of lag. Anyways, I've heard other people complain about servers lag too and I believe some of them solved it by adding the -console parameter, and that's what I'm currently stuck at.

 

A successful start without the -console parameter would look like this:

fixme:system:SystemParametersInfoW Unimplemented action: 59 (SPI_SETSTICKYKEYS)
fixme:system:SystemParametersInfoW Unimplemented action: 53 (SPI_SETTOGGLEKEYS)
fixme:system:SystemParametersInfoW Unimplemented action: 51 (SPI_SETFILTERKEYS)

But when I start it WITH the -console parameter...

fixme:system:SystemParametersInfoW Unimplemented action: 59 (SPI_SETSTICKYKEYS)
fixme:system:SystemParametersInfoW Unimplemented action: 53 (SPI_SETTOGGLEKEYS)
fixme:system:SystemParametersInfoW Unimplemented action: 51 (SPI_SETFILTERKEYS)
err:seh:raise_exception Unhandled exception code c0000005 flags 0 addr 0x7bc4988
8

(And then it crashes).

 

I remember getting the same exception on a windows machine earlier but I don't remember how I solved it. I'm guessing it might have something to do with either the "Visual Runtime C++" or the ".NET Framework". Which I both (and all versions) installed with winetricks.

 

Update: Downgraded from wine1.4 to wine1.2, and it works!

Looks like you fixed your problem good to hear!

/lock issue resolved.

Not locked?

Downgrading did solve the start up issue with the -console parameter, but as a result I was getting continues lag spikes in the servers which makes it impossible to play. The delay is gone though.

 

I'm now using wine1.4 again (without -console). The delay is very annoying, but at least it's playable.

I pressed Lock but okay.. So about your issue, lag with -console is normal.

Well it's definitely not normal. Before it was all so smooth :/
