I have this strange issue with Windows 7 and Ezquake 2.0 alpha. When connected to server as a player, my ping is normal. The thing is that when i'm connected as a spectator, I have about 20ms higher ping. For example at wargamez, I ping 38ms as a player and 58ms as a spectator.

Is this an issue with Windows 7, Ezquake 2.0 alpha or them together?

try cl_physfps_spectator "77"

Yeah that helped. Thx dmt!
