It might be a networking issue because everything else works besides finding a server.

So you're able to create a server and run around with bots with no issue? Just wanted to be 100% certain.

After Googling your exact issue, it seems there are A LOT of people that are afflicted by this, starting July 10th or so. It's very possibly an some update Valve performed that isn't playing well with your hardware or configuration. If that's the case, we may be wasting time trying to troubleshoot it as Valve would need to fix it. I'm happy to keep trying though!

Oh well when I googled I barely found information about this problem. Back to the creating a server and bots, I am able to do that but when I move and stuff everything is delayed almost as if I'm lagging? I don't know if I explained it right but would that have something to do with the video card?

[jwtemp]

Yes, if you're lagging while running a local server with bots, something is going on with your video hardware for sure. Are you able to connect to any servers with the console?

It might just be hardware failure, unfortunately. We've pretty much attacked everything we can from a software perspective and unless it really is Valve's issue and they release a fix for it, I'm not sure there's much else we can do...

[RofLoLmao]

Well that's interesting I am able to join through the console lol. Unfortunately the movement and stuff is all delayed and laggy. So I'm guessing it's just my hardware. Thanks for helping though JW.

It could be, but honestly, it could be Valve too. With as many folks reporting the issue as I saw, it seems to big a coincidence.

Anyway, replacing your video card is easy, assuming you have the cash. PM me if you're interested.

To determine if it is a GPU problem run this: http://www.ozone3d.net/benchmarks/fur/

If the program crashes or crashes your computer or there is artifacting than you have a GPU issue. If furmark runs fine than your issue is likely not gpu related.

Your problem could also be memory related, how much free ram do you have?

To test for memory problems you need to run memtest86 found here: http://www.memtest86.com/
