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

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:

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.
