your not the only one mate, i'm also having problems with my pings but mine are like 250+

and on a 2mb connection


hope someone has an answer :headbang:

[Drunkenmonkeyuk]

got mine sorted now

instead of playing through Steam i've found that using All Seeing Eye (which still uses steam) for some reason works fine and my ping even though a little high for me is now at 45-60

[=THX=Blitzkrieg]

The server that you are playing on sends a signal to the client, or your computer, and then retunrs the signal to the host server. The time it takes to do this is your ping. So the higher your ping is the longer it took to recieve the signal from your computer. But it sounds to me like Valve updated CSS so the server doesn't send the signal at a decent rate, which would cause lag. Try finding servers in your region of the world and for pings under 100, this should cut down on a lot of lag.

When im checking the servers on steams i always check for ones in uk and it says i get 60-80 ping on steam but when i get ingame it gives me over double that

when K use the server browser, the lowest ping servers are sometimes <20ms so it sounds like you have a routing problem somewhere =/

what dos ping do you get to Jolt servers?

You could fake your ping, and try cl_cmdrate 0. Im pretty sure that was a bannable offence, and considered rate hacking in 1.6 however.
