weapon_ifm_steadycam error

[Gearhart 1st MRB]

Name: gearhart

Rank: msgt

Type of issue: (Software, Hardware, Steam, Not sure) not sure

Brief Description of Issue: weapon_ifm_steadycam error this sometimes pops up in console. and while doing that my screen temporarily darkens and everyone's rag dolls fall to the ground my ping will be at a normal amount. it is kind of annoying because i can be mid fire fight and this will happen. I tried playing without my autoexec and nothing happened but i only played for 10 minutes so i am not 100% sure it worked or not.

here is my current autoexec

Thanks for taking my advice and playing without your autoexec for a while. I am hoping that this narrows it down to a config issue. In the meantime I will look through your config to see if I find anything.

[Heresy 1st MRB]

Since you have been playing a while I am pretty certain it is a config issue. What I would like to do is to turn off some items in your config to see if the issue persists or if everything works okay. If things do work okay then we know that one of the items that I commented out is causing the issue. At that point we can start to enable configs a few at a time until we find the one causing the problem. Please start with the autoexec config below.

The last word from Gearhart was that the config that I posted that has certain variables commented out was working for him.

[Gearhart 1st MRB]

it was working fine until towards the end of my gaming session (about 2 hours when it happened again I not sure if it was the same thing but there were no rag dolls just a huge lag spike time issue. I was the only person connected to the Internet and my lung was 30 which is normal. This issue occurs on our server and others server

[Heresy 1st MRB]

Did you get the same error message? How long did it take before to get the error before the configuration change?

[Gearhart 1st MRB]

aobut the same amount of time.

i just had the error happen standing in the private server for about 20 min. no shooting all just in spawn

[Gearhart 1st MRB]

Im not sure what is going on if its my internet or something, but i just uninstalled dod:s and am re-installing it.

[Heresy 1st MRB]

Let us know how it goes. Maybe that will help in general anyway. Edited April 5, 2014 by Heresy 1st MRB

[Gearhart 1st MRB]

well im not getting the error message as frequent, but instead i am crashing... which is kind of worse.

oh and i wasnt using an exec last time

Edited April 5, 2014 by Gearhart 1st MRB

[Gearhart 1st MRB]

i had recently downloaded a thing called 8 gadget which allows me to have like the time the calendar my cpu usage like on windows 7 computers

so i just removed that now to see if that could be an issue..

[Gearhart 1st MRB]

i dont have the issue while playing cs:go

[Gearhart 1st MRB]

ok it just crashed for cs:go.. so yea.

[Heresy 1st MRB]

Try updating your video driver please to see if that helps.

[Gearhart 1st MRB]

there are no driver updates for it

and i did a windows update that said something like ethernet/ something that i cant remember currently. i didnt crash for that hwole realism except for 1 time

[Heresy 1st MRB]

The last time I spoke with Gearhart on Steam he mentioned that this issue seemed to also occur when he had Vent running. I had him try turning off his Vent overlay to see if that helped and just waiting to hear back to see if that had any effect.

[Gearhart 1st MRB]

i am not getting disconnected, but there is a lot of lag at random times. i randomly did some of these

Do you get this error when you have the drop or only when you join a server?

[Gearhart 1st MRB]

when i join a server

[Gearhart 1st MRB]

the problem has stopped, but why it stopped is unknown to me.

[Hess]

Hello Mr. Gearhart

Can you remember if you de-installed any Software or deleted any scriptfiles/files in DoD ?

Or maybe you installed or added any files to your DoD File

[Heresy 1st MRB]

Adding on to what Hess said, we had tried various things with your config, applications, and HUD. What is the current state of all of these things? Is it back to the way that you had it before?

[Gearhart 1st MRB]

i am using the same hud i have always used

i am using the same config i was using before i had this issue. (the one i posted)

the problem kept happening despite me lowering graphics, disabling hdr and disabling multi core

i turned the multi core back on but my hdr is still off. these settings were already set and were still happening so i stopped playing for about a week then i came back and it stopped

the only thing that really happened was a windows update to microsoft windows defender. so maybe it was that, but who knows.
