Here is a list of all the relevant changes we have made since the release of scripts 4.0 beta 4: (including the changes in the various hot-fixes we have released as well as changes not yet released)
Fixes that should hopefully solve all the FPS drops/freezes/lock ups/memory leaks/etc
Fix typo in crate plugin
Fixes to the crate plugin reading of the crate positions
Fixes to the crate plugin vehicle delivery
Prefix BIATCH anticheat messages with [BIATCH]
Fix for missing "Unit Ready" sound
Fix Set_Map engine call
Fixes so the code wont crash if you specify a custom server-side objects.ddb in tt.cfg and that file does not exist (it will instead load the default file)
Fix a crash that occurs on maps with a building controller with a building type of "refinery" but which isn't actually a refinery building controller (this mostly affects various Renegade single player mission maps being used for multiplayer purposes)
Fix the overhead map view for Renegade single player missions
Fix issue when using Set_Map or mlistc and there is a global server-side objects.ddb file set in tt.cfg
Make it so that the nickname is displayed for the player if they are inside a vehicle and in first person mode (it would previously have been displayed if they were in third person mode but not first person mode)
Various audio changes related to detecting the audio crashes we have been trying to track down.
Fix Delete_Console_Function engine call

Fix the lag 4.0 creates, it's the warpy type. If you do not know what I mean ask Iran, he knows, he abuses it.

I get along with people fine, so long as they aren't rejects who promised things that they couldn't
deliver on, or forum trolls who contribute nothing except to bloat the fragile egos of the same
rejects I despise.

The lag issue is valid. There seems to be a delay of what I see on my screen and what is going on actually, and the game gets corrected every few seconds where I warp to where I actually should've been.
I can recreate it easily. All I have to do is press jump continuously for a few seconds and randomly tap left and right, and then stop it all. Worst I've seen it looked like I was moving as a marble circling a drain, if you know what I mean.
Further more if I walk a straight line all is fine but if I make a few turns and then decide to go around an object, no way. Takes me for ever. People that take me on in a dance 1 v 1 with some kind of weapon? They sometimes shoot back to where they should be on my screen, or I shoot back to where I should be - all this every so many seconds. I can't get a good shot in a 1 v 1 since the latest patch.
Try getting out of your vehicle and then run around it to get into a building or something, no way. I have to move around it as if my tank has a contagious decease. If I don't I will cling to it like it's a magnet and I'm a steel canon ball.
The lag and ice skating is something that I really hope you guys can fix. Honestly, I wish that part of Renegade, the net code, was left untouched. It seems to be good for some, bad for others. But if you feel you really can improve game play by messing around with it, do it. I just hope the TT crew can get it working for everyone. Don't get me wrong, I am grateful for all your hard work, it's just shitty that I support your product to everyone even announce it in my server, and meanwhile consider to revert back to none-TT because since a patch I crash constantly and a prior patch makes it impossible to walk around objects without appearing to be completely wasted on boose.

Also what happened to you can change your ISP I doubt you even know what a VPN is or even a remote idea of how the Internet even works.

I had a very similar thing happen to me yesterday. The only thing different is that I can't recreate it. It might be a problem with Beta 4 or my connection.

I think I got it figured out! Reaver is going to laugh his ass off when he reads this, so let's go. I did a thorough test.
First I needed to know if my connection to the server was ok, so I trace routed the IP in dos prompt.
The highest value was 164, which is decent enough for good game play. The connection is good.
Second step I made 2 installs of renegade. Fresh new installs.
On one I installed the latest TT (special version from StealthEye that doesn't boots my system).
On the second I installed CP2.
I tested how my game play on CP2 was on that server. Still laggy but less. I could walk around corners but when I jumped around like a toad on a hot plate I would ice skate still. I could get into vehicles pretty well though, not had to hug it for a while before ACTION key would let me in. I tried the same with TT and it was like I described in my first post. Bad bad game play.
Then I disabled all my programs that I don't need (MSN, FireFix, etc) and tested both versions again. I could not distinguish a notable difference.
Then I checked what other programs I have running. Turns out my firewall has a game mode. I enabled that, tried both things again, still the same.
Then I thought, what the hell, disable the firewall all together, went ingame trying both installs, and TT worked better than the CP2 one! Apparently Comodo firewall keeps a close eye on TT renegade. I could get into a vehicle instantly, picked up my powerups the second I touched them and no more every so often ice skating. I hope this can fix it for others as well.
So it's not TT (indirectly yes, but not directly). Sorry guys, I was wrong in my assumptions.
EDIT: I forgot to mention. I checked my internet speed via an internet speed detector site, and it came back roughly 6 Mbit (even though I pay for 10Mbit..). Each game I set my bandwidth to 4000000 but eventually found out that 2000000 is the best setting.
