Turretless tanks, vanishing tanks, blank rounds

[SEC]

Most of the time I see no turrets on tanks unless I walk right up to them, sometimes not even then (especially on Orel-is it related to the number of vehicles?). Tanks appear to move to a position, then vanish and reappear a few vehicle lengths back from the position where they just vanished. The gun on my tank appears to fire blanks half the time. I've checked for packet loss and I'm not experiencing any. Can anyone give me some leads on what I need to do to sort these problems out please? I am not technically minded so as much basic detail as possible would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks

I have the same problem, when loking at a tank at more than 100m it doesn't have a turret or it doesn't have a bottom half... When I leap out of a BA-64 or Halftrack it keeps going for about 10m then stops then suddenly jumps back to where I first jumped out...

System specs please !

Oh yes, sorry. P4 3.2GHz. 1GB RAM, Radeon 9800 Pro. BTYahoo broadband runs at 2.2MBPS. Another thing I've noticed is that, as I get into a vehicle, I get a glimpse from inside of myself getting in-not a problem obviously but indicative of something.

Sounds strange, did you try the newest drivers?

I'm not sure if this will work or not, so if you could try it out it might help other people too, but have you tried tweaking the netspeed option? That fixed similar bugs in UT for me a while back.

Thanks, vimacs-updated drivers but no improvement. Mr Bunsy-have set netspeed correctly for my connection as far as I can tell (modem) but I'm not aware of the netspeed tweaks-can you offer more info? Thanks.

sounds like a high ping problem.

Try setting it to the lowest possible, and see if it makes any difference. You can also change it manually in game with the command netspeed (I think that's right).

Checked connection and data stream was good, no packet loss. Upgraded graphics card to 256MB-no change. Happened to change to ADSL router for working from home on my laptop and, hey presto, problems with RO on my PC all resolved....!
