Why do you make this construction a mesh? It's not that high-poly, you can build it just with bsp without any problems.. (A wireframe-screen would be helpfull, maybe there are some hidden polys inside that cause errors..)

Btw, nice textures.. ;)

depends on how many triangles it has, it can be something really small, but when very detailed, it will lag. (if you put any curves in it to make it look round it adds lag.) My suggestion is zone it off so it won't lag too much. (or put a flushzone located in the ut99 downloads section).

Well, if the mesh has up to 2.000 polys, then it is explained... :wink:

I agree with everyone on top, if its a mesh, try making it a simple bsp then its not laggy anymore :P
If its NOT a mesh, try removing unimportant stuff, like an Add inside it ;)
