PS is laggy: what can be done?

[steuben]

you guys are thinking too small. having skimed through all the fixes only fix lag in ps, rather lag in general.  to fix the general problem of lag you have to declear dt/dt (the velocity of time) as a variable rather that a constant.

Lag may come from 2 aspects, GPU lag and network stack lag.

It occurs to me PS is render engine driven, which IMHO is not optimised and suitable for large projects.

Code: [Select]

    // start the main event loop
    csDefaultRunLoop(object_reg);

For MMORPG, sometimes even 10fps is acceptable, as long as you do not tie game logic to rendering.
Something like below might be a better choice.

Code: [Select]

while (!quit)
{
    ...
    doGameLogic();
    doAudio();
    ...
    if (time2render)
        renderOneFrame();
    ...
}


Also, for many players there is no lag when logged in, but more and more lags as time passes. Something not properly cleaned up?
