Contract Killer 24 Posted March 27, 2008 Hey guys, well I will be on ZM and I will lag like hell, it will be unplayable, just lag really fast, and keep going, I can't play, It's not my system, I have 8500GT, Quad Core, 3g ram, Idk what it is, but it needs to be fixed.

Eaglewonj 167 Posted March 27, 2008 Will look into it. Monitoring the server now. Any specific maps/events that correlate with the problem?The server is in Chicago and you are in Illinois, how large of a ping and lag spike are we talking about?

Contract Killer 24 Posted March 27, 2008 Idk, its only on certain maps, and its only me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Purple Haze 0 Posted March 27, 2008 Hmm your internet connection? Your computed does not seem bad. Though the gpu can get better but that shouln't be the problem unless your getting like 10 fps. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eaglewonj 167 Posted March 27, 2008 How close are you to Chicago? What is your internet connection. I just saw you in ZM with pings from 75-150 and possibly some I missed. That is unusual for that proximity. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Contract Killer 24 Posted March 27, 2008 I live about 3 hours away, in between Peoria and Bloomington. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eaglewonj 167 Posted March 27, 2008 Three hours by car = 3 ms by the speed of light. Hmmmmm What kind of ISP are we talking about? Does it happen on any server other than ZM? Does it happen on other ZMs? Sorry about the questions, just not sure what's going on, need to ask and ask. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Contract Killer 24 Posted March 27, 2008 Don't think it has before on other ZM's, don't no, they are all no reload=no skill lol, and on the other servers, like WCS and surf, I will just freeze. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eaglewonj 167 Posted March 27, 2008 The other servers (WCS and Surf) are on different boxes and some even in different locations. Try running a trace route to each server and see if you can find a common bottleneck point in your hops. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Contract Killer 24 Posted March 27, 2008 Say what? lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eaglewonj 167 Posted March 27, 2008 command prompt typetracert 196.666.000.2.1 (whatever the ip is)It will show the hops (routing points) for you to that server and the ping to each point. If you get routed to california or something for a server in Chicago when you are close....then its an ISP problem and the routing is all F'ed. Some points may be congested and have a high ping, being the source of all your woes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Waylon 2 Posted March 27, 2008 I get a lot of lag as well and get kicked for net buffer overflow. Also from the HnS server Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Phoenix2 Posted March 27, 2008 Try these rates: (enter them in your console)rate 30000cl_updaterate 100cl_cmdrate 100Also, would you mind running a SpeedTest bandwidth test and posting your results? Remember to choose a Chicago server. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Phoenix2 Posted March 27, 2008 Hmm, Road Runner is a good ISP and all, but that 149ms ping to Austin doesn't look right. Would you mind running another test and this time choose a server in Chicago? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
