Hey,
i have got this bug for a while now and i dunno what to do.
When im playing my ping always spikes to 100+ and then goes down again.
I can more or less fix it by playing sniper, at some point of time in game i just get a huge lag with lost connection (i guess, thats what it looks like in netgraph) and then i get back to the game, sometimes i timeout completely and i have to reconnect. but this seems to fix the ping spikes for 1 session, as soon as i restart tf2 the spikes come back again and i have to do the weird glitch with the scope again.
i got a little video of what happenes :

0-40 sec shows my ping spiking in game
43+ sec shows my lag+disconnect in scope

im playing on dx8 on a radeon hd 7970 but also had the same bug on dx9.
Sometimes after i got this lag some players on the server are invisible, but that can be fixed by reconnecting to the server.
i hope someone is able to help me, heared some geniuses are around here :)

Thanks,
im trying out some of these things now, lets see if it helps :)

//EDIT
nah didnt fix it :c

It might have something to do with your router/modem settings.
Try checking your modem settings by entering 192.168.0.1/ into the address bar of your browser.
Most of the time people don’t have an username or password set, so just try clicking on “log in” if it asks for them.

If you manage to get through, try looking for a setting called “Flood Detection” or something similar to that, and untick it.

Fritzbox ist der größte müll man.

i checked my router settings but couldnt find anything similar to flood detection, just some weird stability settings but im not sure how usefull they are, just noticed that i got half my download speed when they are turned on…

also turned off tcp offload…

i just ordered a new wireless card maybe that helps, next step would be a new video card …

Quoted from firej

wireless card.

Found the problem.

Well i asked/got asked by a couple of ppl now and noticed everyone has an AMD card, everyone who knew it had a radeon HD series card.
Idk, already downgraded to an older version of the ccc but it didnt fix the ping, buying Nvidia card with the same performance will cost me +200€if i sell my old card so idk what to do ;_; anyone knows a possible fix if you know its something about AMD cards ?
that bug is getting really annoying ;_;

Rate relates to your bandwidth – in Bps. So having 60000 means your game limits the incoming+outgoing bandwidth to 60kB/s. Etf2l allows to go as low as 20000 – 20kB/s but keep in mind that this is not enough even for 6v6 not to mention 9v9. The problem will be that on heavy fights you will get choke. Safe value for 9v9 would be around 60000 minimum. For 6v6 I would say 35000.

Pubs that do restrict rate to some stupid low value are either managed by monkey or server bandwidth might be problem.

Having said that, unless you have a bad internet (say 3G or low bandwidth that’s less than 0.8mbps) you don’t have reason to set it lower than 100000.
