Help with CS 1.6 lags/spikes

evoo · 05-31-2009, 11:37 PM

I don't know what it is but I keep getting spikes once in a while when I play. Actually like every 4-5 minutes, I lag and it's so annoying. I live in LA and have Charter DSL, not sure if it's the ISP. But my laptop is a Toshiba A135-S4407 and CS has worked flawlessly for me before, but for some reason now I keep getting those spikes. Help please !

Try re-installing Steam itself and download CS again.Run a virus scan.

It Could be Windows Zero Config searching for networks at those intervals. What OS are you running?

When it spikes, check with www.speedtest.net to see if it is just CS or if it is your Internet.
