xpatx Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 alright well, i just installed cs 1.6 on my desktop and i noticed something fishy when i tried to join the servers. i hit refresh on steam, and the lowest latency that i get back is ~250 :blink: so, i try to join the server, and it says that i cannot join because it is unavailable and to try at another time. it's like this for all the servers! what do i do?

TwiztedCam Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 I used to have this problem on my old PC, I didn't ever find out what caused it, but if I can remember right a reinstall or two fixed it. Have you tried closing internet demanding programs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANova Posted December 7, 2003 Share Posted December 7, 2003 A friend of mine had this problem as well. I believe it has something to do with routers. Unfortunately we never did figure out why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowstorm Posted December 7, 2003 Share Posted December 7, 2003 Try this... on the Steam Main Menu, click on Monitor and see if there is any activity. Steam may be updating, in this case, downloading and therefore giving you a high ping. Happened to me tons of times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
