Ping Spike [RESOLVED]

nonpoint730 · 06-19-2007, 06:04 PM

I play Counter Strike and Team Fortress Classic.

When I join a server, any server, my ping will spike from 50 ms up to about 200 ms. It does this over and over and over for about 5-10 minutes and then it will quit for awhile. It happens randomly while im playing its annoying as hell because I freeze for a split second repeatedly. Ive messed with my rates and all that stuff it didnt help. Someone told me to run a tracert on some servers

1 12 ms 9 ms 11 ms
2 10 ms 10 ms 9 ms
3 14 ms 9 ms *
4 11 ms 9 ms 10 ms
5 29 ms 23 ms 21 ms
6 24 ms 24 ms *
7 22 ms 20 ms 21 ms
8 125 ms 25 ms 24 ms
9 30 ms 21 ms *
10 30 ms 35 ms 30 ms

thats what I get on pretty much every server I run a tracert on. I called my isp (everest connections) and the guy told me that he was going to reset my modem and to unplug my router for 10 minutes. I did all that and it didnt solve the problem.
I also have scanned for spyware/adware/viruses. I don't have any of that stuff on my comp. Can someone help me?

have you tried to update your lan port drivers?

I fixed the problem by reformatting.

Must have been some faulty drivers on your NIC or you had or a bad service running for those games heh. But formatting helps tons of things so congrats.
