Odd lag that ruins gameplay

10 years ago

Hello, Diesel here.
I have recently noticed this really (@!#?%) lag/timeout session which I haven’t a clue what to call it as it seems to not be an issue with either my fps which is normally 60 constantly and my ping which is always <50. So what is the issue?

I got a demo here you can download off dropbox which shows some crappy lobby medic gameplay and through out you will notice I timeout, just to comeback into the game (normally dead) which is quite significant whilst in the competitive scene. I remember this happening a while back. But it seemed to have worn of now it has come back.

If you could suggest what the problem could be and a possible fix that would be very appreciated.

Is your internet connection 100% stable?

Restart your router or upgrade it. Yell up your ISP and demand better connection to play TF and download pr0n at the same time. Or just stop pr0n download while playing. Good ping may still result in shitty packet loss.

I’ve had the same problem for I’ve a year (because I use wifi and a laptop and am a total scrub) . And yea you might think it could be a huge problem but it really isn’t unless you play prem, and still then it’s just a game :>

The lag ruins everything, not just comp but pubs too.

I never download anything and play at the same time. Also, what idiot ‘downloads’ porn?
