Ok, so whenever I'm playing on the server this command keeps popping up periodically at the top of my screen:

"name" is:"-[KR]-Saunby" default:"Padawan"

the more annoying thing about it is that it acts like i have typed the command: ';name' so then if i want to repeat a common command like /amtele i have to scroll up through loads of this crap until i reach my last /amtele command.

It confuzzles me, any help would be much appreciated.

Also, this one doesnt bother me as much since it doesnt happen that often, but sometimes if i minimize the game, when i come back the graphics are really messed up, although not always in the same way, i.e. abnormal darkness, checkered maps and characters etc...

So yeah, someone help me please =]

If you have XFire on, that is what is causing it. You have to go to options, games, Jedi Academy, and disable in-game tracking or whatever.

Ok, ive altered those changes so ill find out if its made a difference next time i go onto the server, also it makes sence for x-fire to be the problem since i only just recently downloaded it and the problem also only just started.

If anyone has any idea about my second problem then feel free to post :D

wand there were 2 problems posted. tricky only answerd 1 of them. the 2nd one is a comp issue. messed up graphics upon un-minimizing. thats the one im talking about.

ur second problem isnt ur comp, i used to have this problem with a couple other games and on my uncles comp. it usually does it when anothe rprogram does something/completes something/updates. the program for me and my uncle was a roxio thing, it would start up or do something on its own and would kick windows focus over to it, making JA minimize.

i dont know how to solve the problem, my problem ended wen i switched hard drives and roxio isnt installed on the my new drive.

(i ould also be completely rong, but thats what happened for me, not sure about u)

was roxio a um cd burnin tool?? thought i seen that before..

you coudl try looking or reducing the programs to see whats causing it.

Hard to say really what it is, i think i have had that before but rare occasions. It is normally when I have something else open which would be using graphics... even something like windows media player for example..

Thanks so far guys, I have a feeling it might be when i minimize to look at a video someone has sent me a link for over msn, or something similar, i still dont know for sure but like you said Chan, it happens rarely, but its just a bit of a pain when it does.

I guess I'll just not watch videos whilst playing JKA :P

its worth a test just to see if its causing it

My advice:

Download JA Minimiser. Clean your directory of any unneeded skins, maps, etc.

Try again.
