<div class="IPBDescription">omg...plz help me. I want to play again!</div> ok. The problem came some weeks ago (about 1-2 months).
I played natural selection and suddenly my ping went from 10-40 to 800+.
I had no idea why till i saw that someone pinged me. So i finally bought a rooter and it works quite well (no more ping attacks). But the problem remains. So it has to be something different. The lags aren´t that bad any more...but they are still there.
Before these lags I ve never had lags. I always played with a Ping of 30.
As far as I know my computer is fast enough...75 fps.
i ve never had problems playing NS before.
Important Fact: other games don´t lag (others meaning-->No steam!)
i read in other threads about "rate 25000" I did that...i changed the other games to "not update automatically" i set the cl_updaterate (or something like that) to 100 and the cl_cmdrate (i hope these are the right commands...) to 100. So i did what the posts said I should do...but its still laggy.
I also shut down Norton Antivirus while playing (just to test it)...the lags went on...
Is there a problem with the new steam update? Is there a problem with my computer? or with my internet?
Plz people help me...I really need to fix this. At the moment I cant play Lerk/Fade because a lag gets me killed imediately.
edit: and yes I know that there are other threads about this topic...but they diodnt help me as i wrote before.
And by the way...Im running Windows Second Edition...so don´t write something about Windows XP because it wont help me. Thx

EDIT: I think its do do with the servers and not the clients since everyone gets the lag spikes at the same time.
