Hey lads,
My collegue has this weird problem, first everything was fine concerning his ping, just around 30-50 ms. When he joins a server his ping is fine, but then all of a sudden the ping rises to 1000 ms, fkin hel.
Config: WinXP Home, Ethernet connection, so NOT wireless when gaming
He tried:
– firewall off
– antivirus off
– starting windows without shit running on the background
– no special configs
Other games work fine (COD4 etc)
So again, this issue turned up like Chuck Norris on a wedding , say wut?
allright, all input appreciated!!
cheers

P.S. I’ll sing a song on mumble for free if you have the golden solution
Does this happen on just one server or all?

Yeah, if the FPS inbound is going crazy (i get this on L4D >.<) you can mess around with your rates to fix it. If this does turn out to be the problem ill try and work out what the command was :x
gl love you digi xx
@klu: on every server he joins
tried with config and without config, same problem.
config settings are:
rate: 35000
cl_cmdrate: 101
cl_interp: 0.035
I can make a screenie on his laptop tomorrow.
Tnx 4 the input so far guys :>
Have you checked to see if steam is downloading anything in the background. Sometimes it likes to update games in the middle of a pickup/scrim. In that case you have to resume the update and then pause it again.
I got the same problem… With high ping
Digiwill mate sounds like u have spyware…
Usually a little program installed via browsing in the background then it spams a ticker to loads of websites and pings them hence ur ping goes very high…
I’d suggest downloading
Spy Bot Search and Destroy its free and quite good
Also do a virus scan..
95% sure its a spyware thing dude unless your on wireless or something :P

yah. I’d check what’s running is task manager.
hey guys, update:
it’s not spyware/virus related, my brother in law did a clean install (XP) and also ran malwarebytes and Norman antivirus -> nothing found
Of course I googled, some say its steam related, after some update it was f00ked.
Any one knows something about this ?
btw screenshot with net_graph 4:

shows big choke and ping :/
tnx guys :>
While its happening, tab out and perform a traceroute to the server IP and paste the results in here.
I had this problem a while back, it was because i had a shitty onboard soundcard. When someone spoke my ping shot up. I fixed it by having to mute everyone on the server. Or turning the voice completely off.
Digiwill, try typing clientport 27006 in console before joining a server.
