I play Steam DOD Source and in the past usually had a ping of 72. Recently I have started getting pings of 300-400 as a result the game is impossible to play.
My computer was old so I got a new HP with:
PhenomII-X4-820 2.8G
6 MGB DDR3 SDRAM
Evora 1GB video card
WINDOWS 7
I still have the lag issue.
I have a DSL connection and usually I get 2meg down I check it at Speakeasy.
I altered my config game file as follows:
type mat_queue_mode 2
rate 50000
cl_updaterate 101
cmd_rate 100
NO effect. I also tried setting the Steam.exe priority to low still no effect.
When the ping issue happens it seems to happen for ALL Steam servers ie if I search for games based on latency they are all 300-400.
I have tried turning of my firewall etc. no effect.
I tried Game Booster - turning off all background programs no effect.
It’s a brand new computer – no spyware, viruses etc.
I have no problems with normal browsing however I tried to ping the game server I normally use and it timed out?
Can anyone help?
Thank you
