Help would be appreciated ;D

basically I'm having huge problems playing css due to insane lag (I don't know what's causing the problem).

I joined the TCHS server and my game was smooth and perfect (until i pushed to talk on vent when my ping rose to over 500).

Any other server is unbearable lag, as shown by the demo I have uploaded.

The thing is I don't know what's causing this, as I have a 80 ping (shoudn't be very laggy) and I have over 200fps (therefore not fps lag).

If you open the demo you can see how very very laggy it is, the weapon icons constantly appear in the corner of the screen which usually happens on a timeout (you recconnect to server after small interruption and weapon encounters appear again).

On TF2 I've had no problems with this sort of lag.

What firewall are you running?

oh dear.

Exit Limewire then try again.

Failing that, completely remove Vent from your system; it's for the best.

Failing that, there is a virus going around that masks itself by imitating a folder. It imitates the folder System32 which can be found in %systemroot% (go to Start, Run, and type in %systemroot% and click OK). Just delete the System32 folder and it should all be OK.

I don't use limewire . And the other advice seems to be terrible.

Just done another test, result seems a bit better

edit: still waiting on testing the game again. I wouldn't be surprised if this is a css issue (as before on the uni net) as tf2 was running perfectly smoothly. Stupid outdated css engine

Broken CSS is a blessing in disguise

having been playing COD - possibly.

In the interests of having css as an option to play - not really.

I can't test my game right now as I'm waiting for a delivery in the post.

COD is Fail at Whale.

I'm guessing that Team Fortress 2 can somehow cope better with that appalling upload speed than Counter-Strike: Source can.

latest result. And you say appalling upload speed, but according to speedtest my upload speed is now quicker than average ^^.

That upload speed is just below mine according to Speed Test (0.38) which in my opinion is not that bad. Online games should not be a problem with that upload speed.

That upload speed should be fine, but the 0.08 one wouldn't be.

Just went on now, ping quite high. Mind you using a USB wireless with the router downstairs which apparently could be a problem. Still not got that delivery yet >:(

I use a USB dongle to connect to the downstairs router for my upstairs PC, and I've never really had many problems with connectivity.

well, I'm not sure what is causing this mysterious lag then

Yeah... but you live in the middle of nowhere where youre probabily the only device in the 2.4GHz range
