Are you playing online?
I think you are experiencing a thing called LAG.

I make a good old format c:, and there is a same bug or something. Try to change the input drivers, the video drivers, the nforce driver, even run in compability mode. None of these could help. The multiplayer part is ok, I increased a players frags for about 10 minutes :) and no problem. I die again and again, but the controllers working properly.
I waiting for a good ideas, may the force be with you!
PLASE SOMEBODY!

I have only noticed this when the network is very flakey. Sometimes I can't move but can see the action going on around me.!! But, there is always an icon of a network port with a red X thro' it.

Heyyo,

Adduxi, what you're experiencing is network difficulties, this happens when the server has problems sending you information and then the game dies, sometimes you get reconnected, but usually it just dies.

I have the same problem with this movement lag, I notice it's usually caused by winamp, so close that before playing any game, especially the HL1 game/mods. I think it's caused by bad soundcard drivers actually, I have a Creative Sound Blaster Audigy Gamer, and the driver support for it is seriouly weak. I'm shocked at Creative cause their soundblaster lineup is one of the longest going soundcard lines...

Ok, so yeah, try different drivers, I'm using that webupdate2 cause the new ones make my sound start to crackle and pop... especially in winamp.

I also deleted my out_wave.dll file cause it wasn't working right, and now my winamp doesn't lag games as much... so I guess it might be caused by faulty plugins...

Interesting, I don't have Winamp, BUT, very frequently I lose all sound whilst playing.!! It's *really* annoying to play without sound .... My "soundcard" is the OB sound on the motherboard, realtek ac97(?) . Maybe I'll splash out on a proper sound card.
Thanks for the info man. Give me a shout if you see me on Halo MP or XBox Live.!!

I had those movement problems with AVP2 on single player. I dont know what was wrong, and it was impossible to play like that. Maybe try reinstalling halo?

I make it work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I do not think, that you have these kind of problem, but I thank you for your help!

So, the bug was from the processor.

My AMD XP core works (2200+) in 12,5*133MHz, actually about 1800MHz with 1,6V.

I made a small overdrive, set the bios to make for the processor 1900MHz. The fastest method is to use the 200MHz Front side bus multipy with 9,5.
With the same cooler the cpu went to 50°C or above, so i decrease the V core to 1,55V. That's why a lot of programs did not worked properly, except DOOM II !

That way the tempreature decreased to about 46°C.

I buy a CU Zalman cooler after, but leave the Vcore down, and this was the mistake!

I set it back yesterday, and everything goes the right way!

(The NFSU2 didnt start, and that was the another cause to find what's wrong :)
