Source problem, help me out, get rewarded

Bump:

 

Reinstalled CS:S, and problem perists, I however, got more information for you guys:

 

It appears to me that this lag only occurs when people start using microphones. I plaid for quite a while yesterday without lag until people started using them. This is the message I get from the console:

 

Netchannel: failed reading message svc_VoiceData from 64.34.210.98:*****.

Netchannel: failed reading message svc_VoiceData from 64.34.210.98:*****.

Netchannel: failed reading message svc_VoiceData from 64.34.210.98:*****.

Netchannel: failed reading message svc_VoiceData from 64.34.210.98:*****.

Try this console command.

 

rate 25000

 

If it's already set to this then I can't really offer any kind of fix other than disabling voice. That console command is voice_enabled 0 but this cuts you off from any kind of talking and you can't talk. It'll fix the problem, but it's a bandage to the real issue.

 

The higher the number the faster information is sent to and from your computer to the server. Though the cap is at 25000

Hope this helps

try deleteing your clientregistry.blop file from ur main STEAM folder.

 

Next verify the intergrity of game cache (Right click game - properties)

Then you need to defrag game

 

Hope this helps

Try voice_enable 0?

[Toxin]

Yeah I do want voice. Trying it out later on.

1. Set "net_graph" to 3

2. See the parts at the bottom that say "Loss" and "Choke" on the net_graph? Both of those are very bad.

3. Fiddle with "cl_updaterate" and "rate" until they both say 0 during a game

4.Additionally put "Myinfo_bytes 8192" which gives you up to 8kb for voice messages compared to the 256 byte default.

 

This should fix not only any lag problems you have (or others have with you) from bad rates but also help with any other overflows you might get that aren't hardware problems. If you have a good connection (1.5mbit down or better) then honestly there's no reason not to just max out everything (100-100-300000) and let servers just send you whatever they're able to handle on their end, CS:S takes not that much bandwidth to begin with and voice comm in it is a few kilobytes at max.

 

There is also strong evidence this is correlated to having a bad soundcard, especially SoundMAX branded ones. If you buy a new computer this probably won't be an issue again since almost everybody uses Realtek now.

If the statements that Shadow suggested doesn't work, I'd recommend to reboot your laptop. I'm very confident that it will fix your issue.

This is something any and every online gamer should at least check.

 

One thing that I always have to adjust is my MTU size. Whats that? MTU stands for maximum transmission unit. It's geek speak for the largest size a data packet can be without fragmenting.

 

So what is the problem here? Well, your PC can create a packet that is larger than the packet size supported by your ISP. So when your ISP gets the big packet, it fragments it and sends it as two pieces. This results in a slower transmission of data and strange things happening in online games.

 

How do I test this? Go to this web page and jump right to step 2. If the packets fragment, follow the rest of the suggestion. If you have Windows Vista or Windows 7, the tool they use will not work, so you have to set your packet size manually. The command to do this is:

 

netsh interface ipv4 set subinterface "Local Area Connection" mtu=xxxx store=persistent

 

You replace xxxx with your maximum packet size from the ping test and then adding + 28. And if you network is named something other than "Local Area Connection" then that needs to be changed as well.

 

Once it is set, you have to reboot before it takes effect.

Interrogate your brother and find out how he fucked up the computer, if hes computer illiterate, ask him exactly what he did with it. (In all honesty you should have started with this)

 

If that fails, delete the games from your system (actually delete not just un-install) then remove steam, and re-install everything. Yes it will be a pain......but apart from messing around with a lot of things that you don't understand, its the safest route. And in all honesty steam will take like 15 minutes, CSS will take under an hour, since you can't play the games without lag anyways, its not a big loss.

Do i need to put this in my config or what????

I feel this could solve my slow internet case...

 

Plz give more info about this, a "thanks" is waiting for you + a cookie
