    Major ping/loss/choke issues

    in GC Basics, News, How to Join

    you should also double click on the last server, this gives you a time graph of the ping to the server.  It should show up on teh bottom of the pic

     

    I only have the freeware version... clicking on the server does nothing for me... do i need the other version to do that?

     

    Playing today at least I seem to have stepped back my problem... getting normal pings but loss of about 25-30 from 7-11 CST.

    Riddle of the day

    in What's Up?

    I guess this isn't a "riddle of the day" thread anymore, so here's another one:

     

    What walks on four legs in the morning, two legs in the afternoon and three legs in the evening?

     

     

    What movie is this from? I can't remember...oh well...it's man. (born to crawl, walks in midlife and age with a cane)

     

    Isn't that from the riddle off on Blaine in DARK TOWER?

    Reintroducing the ability for Terrorists to move the hostages! Playing find the hostie was a great game  :D

     

    GEEZ I remember back when that was doable. That was awesome. CTs always never found the hosties from terrorists moving them to locations like their own spawn or something.

     

    How about the fact you can die when a grenade is thrown two inches from your face instead of it draining like 95 HP?

     

     

    I think 91 is all you can do if it bounces off their face before it explodes.

    I've been throwing this tip out there for the regs--I hope it helps.

    In your config, bind your B key to status and buymenu.

     

    bind "b" "status;buymenu"

     

    That way, everytime you buy your stuff at the beginning you have everyone's steam ID and such.

     

    *I think the tip originated from Shodan---kudos, Sho*

     

     

    I don't quite see the advantage of this... I mean how much time does it take to hit ` and status if you need an ID? Like .4 seconds? Or is it just if the offending dude takes a hike b4 you can get it?

    Also use IE and go here, run the full virus/spyware scan.

    There is also a quick removal tool on the main page, run that too.

     

     

    ZD..... Well I ran these tonight... im going to give it a few days and see if anything changes... ZD thanks for offering to help here from on the server. Top marks man, I'll buy you a usp sometime. There were some things showing up that were not there on other scans I have run so we will see... if nothing else that crap is off the PC.

     

    ICE.... When I was saying that I had done trace routes I had meant that I was using the pingplotter software, my feeble mind thinks those are the same things if they are not. Perhaps this is rather ignorant but do the pings coming off the plotter correspond with the same numbers that steam gives me? I am going to try playing a few days after running the scans that ZD suggested and run plots at different times of the day and when seeing problems (if it persists). I will post them when I do.

     

    If some of you wisemen could keep half an eye on this topic when I repost it would be great. I have been playing ALOT of CS:S and not being able to play has me crawling walls.

     

    Thanks again for the advice guys... hope this helps.

    I think if we could people people with our guns would be awsome! Like beat them with the butt of your gun and their vision gets blurred... Or it can be like a really light flash. I bet if you get knocked in the face you'l hear ringing and lights. :P

     

    When I was 12 I went off a bike jump and landed on my head. Other than the obvious brain think problems I have now.... I was in no condition to shoot anyone. Couldn't see or hear for a few seconds at least.

    Major ping/loss/choke issues

    I have a pretty good speed cable modem (3M down 256 up) and have been having incredibly inconsistant pings lately (70-200 unstable) horrible loss (20-30) and huge choke spikes (up to 50). This has been happening off and on for about the last month, sometimes it will be good mostly it will be very bad as stated above. The last few days it has been bad pretty much non stop. Before this started happening I would always get about 25-35 ping, 0 loss, 0 choke....

     

    I have run trace routes when things were going bad and I do not see anything out of the ordinary in them... I can post plots if anyone thinks that would help.

     

    The internet bandwidth tests that I run, to a chicago server, almost always come out good (2700-2900 kbps down).

     

    I am not running any other programs when I play.

     

    I have tweaked my rates (updaterate, cmdrate, rate etc) back and forth a bunch to see if this would help... no combo I could find made any difference so I keep them at what worked before when things were running smooth.

     

    I have run ADAWARE and anti virus to see if there were any of those issues but none made a difference and nothing seemed out of the ordinary.

     

    This started happening well after the switch to a2g, and things worked will on these servers in the past.

     

    I am not the most computer savvy person in the world but I am out of ideas. Pretty much at my wits end. This situation has made the game pretty much unplayable...

    HELP ME BEFORE I TYPE 'SUICIDE' IN THE CONSOLE!!!!!

    farm, they will fix it....yeesh.  You can only do so much with a small testing base before you release it to the public.  That's why there are things called updates.

     

    Thank goodness we play a game with an active company who doesn't just release a game once and is done with it.

     

    I know, I know. All hail valve.

    If you guys are still having problems, the only thing I had to do was restart steam, it has worked twice for me now(both times were the only times I tried).  Hope this helps anyone still having this problem...

     

    what she said

     

    I suppose it does not really matter but shouldn't there be a better fix than having to restart Steam every time the game is played? Not saying anyone here should have an answer but it seems like a crappy solution.
