2004: Lag in single player?

Archived from groups: alt.games.unreal.tournament (More info?)

I get some strange stuff happening while playing Single Player mode. My view
will "warp" around as if I'm connected to a server with bad ping, like I'll
be going in one direction, and then I'll turn my mouse, but I'll keep going
in that same direction, only a couple seconds later, I'm back where I
started. This was ok at first when the matches were easy but now I'm at the
team deathmatch levels and it is costing me games. This happens
occassionally in multiplayer also, though I suppose that is actual lag, but
strangely it happens most often in SP. I just don't know what to do.

I'm running latest UT2004 (patch 3) and dx 9.0b

Athlon 3200
512 RAM
Radeon 9800
nForce sound and LAN
PS/2 keyboard/mouse

Do you have an optical mouse? When i use one (MS and others) the movement
goes to heck once in a while.
