The problem started this morning, now every time i try to start the game it freezes like this.

Things i've tried, to no effect:
  • move my .xonotic folder
  • re-download the game and launch from newly unzipped download
  • reboot
  • run different executables (linux-sdl, linux-glx, even the windows exe with Wine)
Since this problem happened in the middle of mapping, a software update has likely not caused this.

My system:
Fedora Linux 44 with XFCE
Running Xonotic 0.8.6 pre-built, downloaded from the website: https://dl.xonotic.org/xonotic-0.8.6.zip

Console output of running the game: https://pastebin.com/raw/gs62j1dF

currently am playing Xonotic on my Framework 12 with Debian Stable and am seeing weird connection errors.

Every now and then (the timing is variable, maybe every 10 minutes) I get weird server lag.  It happens on all the servers though, so I expect it be a problem on my client. It behaves typically to when you lose connection to the server: the position of ever player only gets updated every second or so, the framerate remains stable, after 10 seconds it goes back to normal.

Did anybody else have this kind of problem? I only have that with xonotic.

Have a pic of the netgraph attached, but i doubt thats helpful.

I prefer middle shots, but the middle weapon model option is too large.

I can tell that there's probably more steps to this task, but I'm having a hard time figuring it out. There's no weapon textures in the textures directory that I can see. There's obviously a chance that this just won't work without completely rebuilding the textures/models, but it's weird that I can see the current textures meshed on top of the old models. Curious to see if anybody can give me some pointers.
