sharpy2k4 Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Right, so i've redownloaded steam and got 1.6 back on my computer, after about 5 years without playing it, as my xbox is at my mates uni and i cba to get it yet. Few issues- FPS is a constant changing, i whacked net_graph 3 on and its anywhere from 40-100 but constantly changing. my MS goes on random lag spikes,so latency is about 20, on NG3 MS shows as about 50, but then randomly it'll spike to 450 something and the game will literally freeze. by this time i've been killed. latency though, stays at under 20, and i cannot think for the life of me what it is. i tried to get a SS but it comes out as a black image, so i'll try get some more information laters i've fiddled with rates rate 25000 cl_cmdrate 101 c;_cmdupdaterate 101 and cl_rate was 9999 ive edited all of these to random variables and still nothing?! well i get somethign a horrific spike of dirty lag. any help? Windows Vista 128 radeon 9600 ( i know its old but is fine for cs) 1gb ram 2.7 ghz processor =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yusuf M. Veteran Posted September 17, 2009 Veteran Share Posted September 17, 2009 After playing Counter-Strike for years, the best advice I can give you is this: it's your hardware and your Internet connection. Trust me, I've fiddled with this game time and time again with old and new hardware alike. I even went from a measly 128kbps connection to a full-blown 10mbps connection. The better your hardware and Internet connection, the more FPS and less ping you'll get. That's all there is to it. I know that wasn't the answer you were looking for but the truth can sometimes be a little harsh. By the way, your rates are fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharpy2k4 Posted September 20, 2009 Author Share Posted September 20, 2009 it makes no difference no matter what video settings i use, ive had this same pc for years and it has been fine when i used to play regulary, i stopped because it just randomly started literally freezing for 10 sconds at a time and i'd look at the MS like i said it'd be frozen around 450. so its random lag spikes that keeps happening. i can play through half life 1 2 and source hl 1 and it's fine, just literally counterstrike, DOD is fine, TFC is fine, just Cs though =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
