bad lag spikes on dp servers.

[capo]

For the last 5 days i have been lagging bad on all dp servers.
It also causes my FPS to drop.

Maybe its just my cable provider?

[KnacK]

That's all client side capo.

Might want to see what's running in the background.

[eMo]

had the same problem bud.
i gave my computer more ventilation and it fixed it.

[capo]

running in the background?

Like IE?

Nah, the only thing running is vent.
Its never lagged at all. Lol

:\

[Eiii]

Make sure nothing else on your network's eating up bandwidth. As Knack said, the issue is entirely due to something on your end.

[Cameron]

Whoa, i remember when I had that, sorta fixed itself.

try taking off stuff like high-res textures. May help slightly. What computer do you have?

The last screen looks like another player download the map from the server. The download system is the first version. In the next one it needs a little tweak

I have an HP...

It's not the HI-RES textures.....it just recently started spiking.
It's been doing it for a week now...

I did not make any changes to my computer.
I also made sure i had nothing running in the background such as virus scanners, etc.
I think it's just the cable company itself.


ex. Sunspots

Chef-Killer has the same problem.


WLAN ?

[capo]

WLAN?

Ethernet NIC

No.
The lag has changed though just recently...going from all black lag spikes...to just White spikes. It has also gotten worst.

[Eiii]

tracert?

[capo]

tracert?

whats that?
please explain

at a command prompt, do a "pathping <ip of dp server>"

Let it run for the required 375 seconds and then post the results.

When I had this problem it was caused by a Trojan.

Few of them actually, look in your Task bar to see if some program is using more memory than it should.

Do you mean talk manager?

Which would be, start > run > cmd.exe > pathping **.**.**.*** right?

Do i have to be on a server or what? Not sure.

That's what i was thinking maybe. What virus scanner do you use by the way? AVG?

Correct

[Deranged]

Or task even.

@Capo: Might just be some node instability in your area. We had that here for a while, and I was getting horrible PL on some servers for a while. But then against it wasn't all servers for me so I'd check your task manager and run a virus scan with something non-norton(like AVG )

Lol, That's what i thought. But yea, I'm running AVG as i type

Well, I tried that and nothing happened.

It just makes a Break... Here's a screen shot of it
