Online troubles with Left 4 Dead


Recommended Posts

So I decided to start playing L4D today but instead I've been presented with woes of horrendous lag and disconnects from the game server.

I can search for a game fine, it finds one quite happily, but when I actually get in-game my ping is about 500-1000ms. I usually find that my teammates also have pretty terrible pings aswell.

I've tried setting my rates (rate, cmdrate, updaterate) to default but that didn't help, I can play CS: S fine and it's not my firewall (Vista's firewall) since L4D is in the exceptions list. Also, I can't view any servers when I try and use the server browser (via openserverbrowser).

L4D has worked in the past but only when I was at uni, living in uni provided accomodation which included internet via an ethernet cable. Now that I'm living at home now, it just doesn't work.

Hardware and whatnot:

PC: Dell XPS M1530

OS: Vista Home Premium

Router: BT home hub (Connected wirelessly)

Anyone got any suggestions?
