low fps when holding ckit

[JOURNEYMAN]

I noticed that when holding a ckit, my fps drops to 5, but when I switch to a weapon the fps returns to normal instantly (20 - 30 for me). This doesn't happen when I'm playing locally. Same thing happens with granger.

That would be the range markers. Have a look in the options menu (in-game) and switch off the line drawing – you'll still see a drop where range markers are drawn, but only a small fraction of what you see with the lines.

Alternatively, type these two commands into console or chat:

/seta cg_rangeMarkerDrawIntersection 0
/seta cg_rangeMarkerDrawFrontline 0

Just curious. Why does this affect builders only?

Since build ranges are only visible when you are a builder.
