CSS freezes during gameplay?

digisatman · 19 Oct 2006 at 23:34

Hi all,

Im using a Wifi usb adapter, the ping i get in cs is pretty good, normally ~30, but, in the middle of a match or sumthing, it just freezes for like 5-10 secs (dead most of the time when it unfreezes!), i use a Widescreen 19" monitor and think it might be something to do with the rates or sumthing,

anyone got any ideas as to why this is happening, its v.annoying!!!

thanks a lot!

Maybe your RAM? No idea just a theory, because in BF2 my game froze for like 10 secs and I ended up dead, died so many times due to that, same thing happened in another game when an explosion happened it like froze. I think its like lag or something? Check your page file maybe?

Wireless isn't the best thing for online gaming btw.

I am using a USB Wireless adaptor and last night on CS:S I was getting a few seconds lag.
Same on BF2, it goes real laggy, but I am only on 1gb RAM, it recommends atleast 2gb

its the wireless

mine does it in CSS (ask the guys in the CSS thread lol )

when im cabled to the router its fine

use net_graph 3 in console and youll notice that every time it freezes its because you have a huge loss of packets of data

maybe getting closer to the router or a clearer path would help but ive never managed to sort mine.

Mine did the same when I was using a wireless card to connect to the net with. Have since had my own connection installed in my new house and don't have to use the wireless anymore and it runs smooth again
