Dudes,

I'm suffering from what i can only think is Packet Loss, and it's hammering my mojo in CS:S.

Every 15secs or so i'll freeze jump, all dead bodies re-fall, and the gun icons on the left side of the screen pop-up. My Ping is a steady ~50.

I've just switched to Sky Broadband (what a load of tosh) about a month ago, but the problem has only just started in the last few weeks.

Any possible fixes would be appreciated.

<3

Could be lots of things m8. Have you got the net graph up in CS:S? If not, get it up (type net_graph 3 in the console). THat will tell you if there's a bit of packet loss.

Also, try a traceroute to the server IP from the DOS prompt and see if you are losing packets there.

Tell us what you find and we can take it from there.

Yo Jase,

Brought up the netgraph and I'm definitely losing packets. Packetloss fluctuates to 4-5 every 30 secs or so.

Ping'd the server:

Ping average is ~50
4 Packets Sent and 4 Received, 0 Lost.

/me confuzzled

Try an extended ping test fish.

Use ping /t *server ip* watch it for a while to see how many drops you get.

2 73 ms 62 ms 51 ms cr0.lclei.uk.easynet.net 195.189.159.204

Thats a silly response time, perhaps this is where the problem is - your SP. Try pinging that server in the extended ping test and see what you get.

Sky Broadband 16mb

My line fluctuates from 512k to 7mb. Continuous dropouts on the wireless.

I'm in the process of tearing Sky a new arsehole.

Are you using wireless for gaming? Wireless stinks for ping and packet loss, get your cable plugged in if you dont already.

Yep, especially with multiple wireless networks around.

Download speeds went up from 500 kbps average to 1800 kbps for me when went back to wired.

Ping on CS servers also reduced to 20-30ms where they were @ 50+ normally.
