Tank jumping all over

[Lowell J. <ld...@si...>]

Hey all,

I have a problem that showed up in the last week or so.  My tank, as seen 
by other players, has become visually erratic, jumping all over the place 
as I move across the field.  The lagstats look fine.  From my point of 
view, everything appears fine.

I've been playing for several months now, and have never had such a 
problem previously.  I can't think of any significant changes to my system 
in the last couple of months, other than adding a video capture card (a 
few weeks ago) and an IEEE 1394 (Firewire) card (added last weekend).  I 
may get around to popping the Firewire card out to see if it makes a 
difference, but that isn't something I would expect to affect the bzflag 
situation.  (Famous last words.)

I've noticed no other degradation of performance (network or otherwise)
on my system.

Below are a few of my system details:

Mandrake 8.2
1333 Athlon CPU
512M RAM
GeForce 2 video
Linksys LNE100TX NIC
cable modem
iptables-based firewall  (problem persists with firewall down)

I've tried turning off various bzflag display options, but nothing seems 
to have helped.  This problem is a real pain to debug, because I don't see 
the problem.  So I have to bother others during play (which I really don't 
like doing).

Any suggestions anyone?

Thanks.
