Lag issue

by dempA • 2 Dec 2008, 06:30 • Forums › Enemy Territory
I'm getting weird spikes on all ET servers with both patches (2 different installs) of ET and my RTCW that I have. Every 7 or so seconds, I get 2 large spikes (shown below). I have updated all drivers, ran virus/spyware scans, Ports 27960-27970 are forwarded to me, and reduced graphics settings. No luck with any of that. I have a fan that blows directly on my graphics card. I am connected by a Linksys Wireless router with roadrunner service (PCI adapter). This problem started on Wednesday, and happens in both games almost every time I start. It worked today and Thursday morning normally, but after I shut it down and started it back up, the spikes would happen again. Suggestions?


(look at the lag-o-meter)

for how long that happens?and if changes has been made in that period get the setings back if u dont know i would go for graphic card because of unstable fps
but the other main issue could be connection (by connection i mean all that goes from et(some net cvars) to ur firewall(dunno if antivirus scans trafic) to ur netcard to ur cable to ur router(u should check the options in this one about firewall) )

Are you connected by W-LAN? What is roadrunner service?

If it works the one or other day, it could just be your ISP.
Get the IP-address of the server, open up a console and type in "ping -t xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" and let it run for a few minutes.
If you get there higher pings in between or packet loss, it´s not an ET problem.

idd do a tracert or a ping to your isp and you'll be able to find out where the lag is created (your hardware or your isp)

I know it doesn't seem relevant but I had this problem as well while using some certain drivers for my graphic card.

My brother plays ET too on the same network, but he doesn't have this problem.

That is r_gamma 2, I can't get it any higher.
