<div class="IPBDescription">just as I said!</div> ok ever since 2.0 has come out I've been having MAJOR ping problems when trying to play on servers that used to give very little to no problems.....

when I ping the server through a ping prog or HL itself the pigns seem normal (120ish to 300ish depending on which server).......but when I enter the ping quadruples all the time or more

this did NOT use to happen b4 2.0

I've tried many of the console tweaks suggested such as cl_rate, rate, cl_himodels, cl_cmdrate, cl_updaterate, etc. and nothing seems to help that netgraph get better in game when I'm trying to test it out

My brief specs:
Anthlon 1800 (1.5k mhz)
256 SDRAM
NVIDIA GEforce 4 Mx440
ethernet connection where I am


I KNOW its NOT fps related....I have never never, EVER EVER gone BELOW 40-50fps even in ridiculous fire/tooth fights and usually top off at 70-80 fps easily

I'm still looking for whats making my ping 'multiply by 4' from when I ping the server (would say 121) to actually entering (and show about 450).......as I stated earlier this didn't use to happen

*I should also add that in-game my choke and 'loss' is usually 0 or very low, maybe 1 or 2......but during my last few tests its been 0..............not sure whats wrong!*

    well good point

    I just noticed something (game was running as I typed this out)

    my 'out' stays steady 27-40 while my 'in' on the graph is jumping all over hell and back 27-300

    as I said.......my choke is almost always 0 as is my loss

    *btw that ether is too my apt complex building, which altho may be the problem.....didn't USE to be a problem. Either its just weird luck that it acted up right when I got 2.0 a few weeks ago or its actually something going wrong because of 2.0........prolly the former, I'm afraid*

    yay I love existence sometimes, as it can play cruel/funny jokes on you

    my connection just turned me into a liar......I'm seeing horrible packloss and choke right now and steady up and down rates which is the opposite of yesterday and earlier today

    I'm going to attempt to use the commands to lower my choke rate, but since it didn't work last time I'm not gonna get my hopes up =/

    get ad aware and spybot search and destroy. Make sure some outside prog isnt f'in with your connection. Also, hope some lik punk isnt leeching off you.
