<div class="IPBDescription">NS and steam dont seem to mix.</div> Has anyone else noticed this? I know its not everyone... but:
Once I got NS working in steam I tried joining a few servers, and consistently what would happen was that I would connect, but then i'd get lots of lag ( and I'm on DSL so lag isnt all that common, I was surprised.) and then disconnect.
I was curious as to what was happening, so I turned on net_graph... I fould out that my choke and loss were both steadily rising until my connection timed out about 5 minutes after I connected. This happened on almost every server I joined.
Anybody have this happen to them?
Anybody know a way to combat this nasty problem?

Pls read the steam sticky at the top of the TS forums for some good fixes for all of these issues.
So far the only outstanding issue with NS/Steam is the right click menu fonts being wierd. Other than that it's really all but ported. IMHO.
