Something change?

I do have an nVidia card but I play with a wired connection, not wireless. It's a GTX 670 and it handles Counter-Strike: Source while taking a nap.

I always have net_graph 3 set as my option. I do see gaps, but definitely not a massive quarter inch gap like you're talking about. The skips do seem to coincide with these gaps - I'd say the gaps last about as long as the problem, i.e. several small gaps on the net_graph corresponds to several small 'skips' in game. So maybe it's a network issue, although it could easily be whatever is causing the problem is causing me to lose connection with the server temporarily. Both would explain and account for the issue.

I'd say it's my Internet, but that's not possible - every other server I play on works completely fine. Also I don't think that a server reset would temporarily resolve a client side issue. Actually, I know it wouldn't.

Demos do not show this behavior. Nor does observing me in game. I can say with 99% certainty it's not a client side issue and the issue is something specific to IBIS servers (although granted, I only play on the GG server regularly). While no one may have reported it last night, it's still happening with regular frequency. I can start taking down the names of those also experiencing the issue if you guys think it would help resolve it.

Edit: I stand corrected. The problem definitely presents itself in self-recorded demos. Below you will find two demos attached. The first, titled 'skippy_mcskipperson.dem' was recorded on the IBIS GG server during sex_fix. The second, 'does_this_skip.dem' was recorded on a random GG DM server I found.

Please note that BOTH demos appear to exhibit some kind of bug where the map is constantly trying to 'catch up.' My guess is this is a result of playing a seven year old game on a video card that is too powerful for the engine. This is not what you want to look for however.

The difference between the two servers is very distinct in my opinion, but I'll explain anyway. On the IBIS server, you'll notice me 'hopping' or 'teleporting' every few steps. Other players exhibit this behavior as well - they're never quite 'in sync' on the screen as they're moving.

On the non-IBIS server, this does not happen at all. Movement is smooth (minus the 'bug' I described earlier) for both myself and the other players on the server.

I hope this helps both explain the problem and lead us toward a resolution.
