Guest [DW]Archaic March 5, 2003 Share Guest [DW]Archaic Guests March 5, 2003 ok, recently i had a problem with my mic in-game where no one could understand me because it would cut in and out... so i figured to fix this i would reinstall my cs. I have retail and i reinstalled and it fixed my mic problem fine, but i encountered a new, worse problem.... on every single server i play on i spike from whatever my normal ping is, example: DOH foxtrot i would ping normally a steady 30, well now when i join i ping about a 50 to start then soon as i jump into some combat my choke hits 100 and my ping shoots up to at least 150. It is sooooo annoying, its impossible to hit anything. I have no idea what is causing this lag, i am guessing it is just my computer cause my isp doesnt seem to be laggy, even my laptop which i can run cs from decently pings better then my main comp now... So please if anyone knows how to fix this please respond. it also is worse with the more people in server, if its like a 2v2 it doesnt really spike up past about 90... i dont know please help!!!!!!!!

ConGregation March 6, 2003 Share ConGregation Member March 6, 2003 I was assuming that it was a rate setting of some sort. Sounded like a classic choke problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ZDamage March 6, 2003 Share Guest ZDamage Guests March 6, 2003 do this. it does sound like rate settings, but try this. Try some other servers like DOH's and some pub ones that ping well and see if you can play without issue. This will tell us if it may be that server related, or if it is cs related, or it may be a router between you and the server causing the ping spikes. That was my problem a couple years back when I had Verizon (worst communication company on the planet) DSL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest [DW]Archaic March 6, 2003 Share Guest [DW]Archaic Guests March 6, 2003 It does this in all servers... every one, some worse then others but still every server now i spike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ZDamage March 6, 2003 Share Guest ZDamage Guests March 6, 2003 what are you rates and what not set on? m0ss and others know the optimal settings better than I do. Make sure your settings are all set to the best level, and if you have vsync turned on, that could also do it. You have a vid GF vid card. Make sure you have it on Open GL driver after the reinstall. Make sure all your drivers are up to par. Ensure you do not have a bunch of other progs running in the back ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOFX March 6, 2003 Share NOFX Member March 6, 2003 I had problems with choke/lag. First if all my roomates were playing, we would have nasty pings, So i changed my cl_updaterate and cl_cmdrate to 30 and it fixed that, next when I put a fresh copy of CS on, I would have a constant choke of 50-100. So I simply doubl clicked CSfull15.exe, in your case cs1005.exe and let it reinstall the upgrade and it works fine now...I dont think it over writes yoru config, but just back it up to be sure.

ConGregation March 6, 2003 Share ConGregation Member March 6, 2003 cl_updaterate cl_cmdrate rate tell us what those three are set at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest [DW]Archaic March 6, 2003 Share Guest [DW]Archaic Guests March 6, 2003 cl_updaterate = 20 cl_cmdrate = 30 rate = 2500.000000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest [DW]Archaic March 7, 2003 Share Guest [DW]Archaic Guests March 7, 2003 what do i type to change my rate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ak2786 March 7, 2003 Share Ak2786 Member March 7, 2003 I had this same problem with my mic skiping in and out. It was because my cl_cmdrate was 10 and I moved it to 30 and my mic was fine. If that isnt the problem for you, don't know what to tell ya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest [DW]Archaic March 7, 2003 Share Guest [DW]Archaic Guests March 7, 2003 Rev i put my rate up to 9999, it seemed to help alot better for like the first 10 mins but it still does spike.
