Dusty Posted June 30, 2010 Posted June 30, 2010 (edited) I've tried suggestions and Google so I'm finally just gonna make a topic here and hopefully save myself some time.All of a sudden, in the past two days, everytime I join a server I'm getting extreme amounts of lag and my ping is going to 500+. This is obviously causing me to freeze every two seconds, which as you may know, makes playing (especially Surf) extremely difficult, nigh unplayable.Whenever I join a server, (single player is fine) - My internet literally dies, rendering me unable to use it for the next 5-10 minutes. I was just wondering how would I go about fixing this issue, as I'm unable to play CS:S at the moment due to it. It doesn't do it with any other games, and it's only just started happening in the past two days.Note, I don't believe it's anything to do with the update, as I've played fine with it up until now.(I've just played on my own for a while and there's not been a single bit of lag, I joined the Surf server and my ping jumped straight to 500)Thanks in advance.

Ywa Posted June 30, 2010 Posted June 30, 2010 I got the exact same issue with CSS. All other games work fine. Quote
The Lazy Peon Posted June 30, 2010 Posted June 30, 2010 hmm, i get a higher ping than everyone else in my game.For example, i was playing a game. Every other player seemed to have around 30-50 ping. whilst i had 200.i don't know if thats the same thing as you dusty, but it's sure as fuck anoying. Quote
Dusty Posted June 30, 2010 Author Posted June 30, 2010 I've now noticed I don't even need to join the server to be fucked over internet wise. Quote
Dusty Posted June 30, 2010 Author Posted June 30, 2010 The new CSS update i think...I've been playing without any issues until now. Quote
Rinkana Posted June 30, 2010 Posted June 30, 2010 The new CSS update i think...I've been playing without any issues until now.Me neither but it can be the problem. Quote
Nobana Posted June 30, 2010 Posted June 30, 2010 Exactly the same problem here. Other Source games work fine. Appeared few days ago, I think. Or then I just didnt play enough CSS when update got released to notice the problem. Quote
Dusty Posted June 30, 2010 Author Posted June 30, 2010 The thing is though, I managed to play for a good hour or so without any issues today. I've come back to death connection though. Quote
Ywa Posted July 4, 2010 Posted July 4, 2010 Fix: Rename counter-strike source, folder from Steamapps/your-username, to something else.You'll lose some custom settings and shit. But atleast you can play again (worked for NPhect and I). Quote

Its like killing floor. Quote
