Have played on this server before.

Was playing tonight with friends plus the general public, when THIS HAPPENED.

Image
I am patched to 1.0.4 and have never seen this before and am not overheating on CPU or vid card. FPS drops to about 6. Sometimes you can't move or the game eventually freezes. So I ask you...

What the hell happened?

Looks pretty groovy. The only thing missing are the designer drugs.

I tried the impromptu trance party command in the console but it didn't fix the problem. I think the "/seta_consume_ecstacy 100" command might have messed things up.

Seriously though, here are the specs.
Enermax V770 Case
Thermaltake Silent PurePower 480W
Abit NF7-S rev. 2.0
Athlon XP 3000+ 400MHz
Thermaltake Volcano 12
Leadtek 6600GT 128MB DDR3 AGP
Vantec Nexus fanbus
1GB Mushkin Enhanced PC3200 DC
Maxtor 6Y160PO 160GB 8MB 7200
Sony DRU-700A
SIIG US2325 9-in-1 media drive
Legit Windows XP Pro SP 2 fully patched
ZoneAlarm Free Edition up to date
NOD32 AV legit version fully updated
No spyware - I run Spybot, Adaware, and RootkitRevealer
nVidia Forceware version: 81.95
Quake4 version 1.0.4
NForce chipset version: 5.10
NetGear GA311 nic driver: Realtek v1.80.635.051219
Current folders inside Quake 4 folder: baseft_instagib, battle, Docs, expertPreview, home, main, pb, q4base, q4max, q4x, sabot

Highest temp on GPU when this happened was 49 C
Highest temp on CPU when this happened was 44 C

I'm wondering if it has to do with the action getting too intense. When that would happen on Quake 3, I would usually get kicked to the main menu, like right when a rocket would be in my face. :p

Also, how to I turn on the FPS display?
