Client Lag

Hi,

about 1,5 months ago i deleted ddnet Client from my computer. Now i have reinstalled it and i am experiencing some kind of client intern lag, meaning even when im not joining a server but just browsing the list my mouse movements are delayed. This also applies for clicking and also for the loading bar when starting the client.
Plus whenever i close the client, the "DDnet.exe has stopped working" window pops up.
I have the same problems with the original teeworlds client as well.

I tried:
- restarting pc
- deleting and reinstalling client
- running on administrator mode
- reducing all graphical options to minimum (this helps actually, but still bad)
- older client versions (both ddnet and normal teeworlds client)
- deleting the complete teeworlds folder in the AppData/Roaming path and letting the client rebuild it
- running ccleaner (including registry errors)

If someone has an idea of how to fix this problem, i'd be grateful for help.

thx for your answers Soreu and deen.

@Soreu,

Maybe your laptop overheats. F1, cl_cpu_throttle 1 (or higher)

Hm, didnt help. And even with the client running all other programs keep working normally. My mouse works fine again as soon as i switch focus to any other program whithout closing the ddnet client.

Btw, i checked and DDnet uses roughly 25% CPU like always.

What about trying vanilla client. And could you try some previous versions of ddnet if its working.

Thanks for your suggestions kamillentee.
By vanilla client you mean the normal teeworlds client from teeworlds.com?!

I already tried both solutions, sadly none of them worked.

only happens with teeworlds?
