Since steam FORCED me to spend $59.99 to buy the silver package I've been having serious loss/choke in CS:S. When I type net_graph3 in the console and I get into a firefight my loss/choke goes up to around 50/50 and I almost always die. I've been asking around the counterstrike community and it seems like everyone tells me the same thing, "Adjust your rate setting". I have tried every rate setting possible "rate 3500" "rate 20000" EVERYTHING! Could it be that I'm using a wireless B router at 11mbs and I didn't install the drivers because it wouldnt load?
Wireless sucks for gaming and 99% of issues regarding lag in games when using wireless are due to the use of wireless.
I use a wireless connection and i've never found any lag problems to do with wireless at all; all the ones i've ever found are from the server/ADSL problems...
damn, looks like im going to have to move back down to my basement I have 2 50 ft cat-5 wires running down there for my old computer and my... DRUM ROLE PLEASE!! PHANTASY STAR ONLINE FOR GAMECUBE!! i guess ill give the wireless to my sister when she brings her laptop home from college
Not to mention you weren't forced, unless they posessed you which I'm doubting. Get off the wireless. It's ungood for gaming. Yes, I said ungood
yes, wireless is a definate no no for gaming. my m8s had all kinds of trouble with hosting an internet game with 2 people on the network, wireless just couldnt cope
