i moved the cmdrate up to 60, any higher and choke shoots up to the 50's everytime i take a step for some reason.
i wonder why i wasnt lagging that one time on logistic assault. doesnt seem to be a bittorrent thing since the other comps havent been running bt lately. have i lagged this week?
my set up is ...
a shuttle 2.8 P4 w/ 9500 pro. (i got a 9800 pro sitting in teh other comp but that comp can barely run source for some odd reason ... tried switching the 9800 pro to the shuttle but i can't get enough power out of this shuttle PSU)
im behind a linksys wireless router, about 4 other comps connected wirelessly to the same router. got my sysmantec software firewall which is supposed to allow all CS:S/HL2 traffic through ...
sooooooo i dunno whats causing the lag :[ tried forwarding some ports from the router to this comp that i found on the steam forums but that didnt work. i'll try setting my rates higher again. i start at 30 for each and keep increasing the settings until i get choke/loss.
