NPCs having choppy movement (MP)

[Aldro Koon]

We are troubleshooting this over at {JoF} with our Coding Team but so far we can't make much sense of it.
We believe it's something between servers and clients that are mismatched.
Does anyone have any ideas at all for why Desann here is moving in such a "choppy" way?

It's applies across OpenJK/EternalJK/JA+/JA++/Base, but some combinations don't reproduce it.

There are combinations of certain server executable/mod/client where the NPC moves perfectly smooth, so this is not normal incase anyone thinks it is.

UPDATE: @Milamber has found that it's something related to g_smoothClients / cg_smoothClients.
Fingers crossed that we manage to figure it out.

I've noticed this happen before too, on OpenJK servers. Hoping someone can find a solution and provide it for the rest of the community

The above results appear to have been inconclusive, what appeared better and made us suspect this is just not being reproduced today.
It is a very strange thing and I honestly don't know if we can figure it out for we have been trying to (on and off) since 2021.
