Something change?

[jwtemp]

So last night and this morning, I'm getting random 'frame skips' while playing. It's hard to explain, but basically it's as if I'm droping 10/300 frames once every three to five seconds, causing a small gap in the action. It's making playing extremely frustrating as when I get them my aim gets all fucked up.

So my question is did something change on the server recently or is this problem on my end? I would just assume it's me, but Wabbit and a couple of others complained of some laggy behavior as well.

You are not the only one noticing this. I can't vouch because my ping bounces regularly anyways but I have heard several complaints since this morning about this issue. These complaints are coming from regulars and new people alike.


Thanks for the post JW and it might just need a quick restart.

Post if anything is done to the server here please so we can see if it continues to happen.

Cool, I'm glad to hear it's not just me experiencing/hearing these reports. I was getting pissed off earlier, haha, so it's nice to be vindicated.

Update to server:

Brett came in and restarted the server.
I am not having the issues, but JW along with a few others said they were still having the issues.

u're not the only one ...
same shit is happening to me, and i2o4 also bitched to me about this same issue. that frame skip made it impossible for us to get any decent vaga shots in wcs.

its not just gg, it's also wcs...
maybe the valve update caused smthn?

Personally I had a lot of isp issues today, do you all have Comcast?

[jwtemp]

No Comcast here, AT&T U-Verse. I'm not having any trouble on any other CS:S servers and I just don't think it's possible this many people are having issues and they're all simultaneously having Internet problems (unless the server's ISP is the issue).

It definitely is still happening, although after the reboot it seemed to be improved (was at least mostly playable with notable exceptions). Thanks for looking into this for us!

Are you able to tell if your fps is dropping at all. I am going to be updating SM and MM to newer versions next time I see servers empty.

Actually I haven't paid close attention to fps in the net graph. I'll let you know the next time I play.

Well i have played though 2 maps so far without seeing the issue. Also no one in game is reporting any problem at this time. Perhaps the issue was regional and is now gone or was an issue with particular maps post recent valve update.
