CS:Source Lag

duckhunter-deux · February 2nd, 2005, 09:13 PM

Anyone else having lag where you can only play for about 10 minutes before the game lags to the point where you get 0 fps and then eventually get kicked? Its weird cause my ping is low (50s-70s). Are there any ports that I can open up to improve this lag?

Thanks,

do you have any p2p running? (torrents too)

what type of internet connection, system specs, etc

Nope no torrents open. All I have running that would access the net is AVG and Windows Firewall. I have a DSL connection (I think 128k or something like that)

System Specs:
3.2 GHz P4
Moblitiy Radeon 9800 (basically 9800 Pro/XT)
512MB Ram

It's weird because I can get 50-60 fps when the lag doesn't kick in. When it does kick in I get a little red warning in the top right corner saying "Connection Error" which leads me to think something is blocking info from being sent.

Maybe you need to alow the program(not port) for windows firewall. Just go into the options and add the executable. If that doesn't work, I just don't know

.

I'm playing 50fps and 45 ping just a few minutes ago, so its nothing to do with the servers.

Your internet connection is quite slow, though. I have about 1.3mbps and the same ping as you, so maybe your ping is "lieing."

Maybe so. Like I said, I don't know my actual connection speed (maybe it's 512k that might make more sense). I'll try playing with the firewall and AVG off and see if that makes a difference.

Well I just tried it without any firewall or AVG running and 10 minutes later I got the lag of death. Ping was 63 and everything was running fine, then it just locked up, jittered back and forth, and kicked me. Any ideas?

Hrm, try going over to www.steampowered.com

Search the forum and look through the suport center stuff. Try varifying your files, if anything is screwed up it fixes it. I used to get lag at Dust2 by the bombsite, but I went through the file varification and it fixed it. If that doesn't work, I don't know what to say.
