Firstly i hope everyone had a very drunk and safe new year, and secondly I am having some issues with our servers now. Last time i play was like on the 30th or 31st and the servers ping was like 30, and mine in game was like 40. Now when i refresh the servers, all noob, and only the noob servers has pings like 250 and i get around 270 in game. Have we switched any settings for the new year or somethin, or is it just Y2.006K? Im at a loss ive tessted my conection speeds and everything is norm. Any input would be much appericated.

thanks from the newly noob: n00b Minor King

I think we did something to the servers and change are admins i am noth very sure just yet

Mine seems to get to about 100 and stay there. You guys get a big lag hit at the end. I think theplanet's whole chain of servers is a piece of shit.

very confusing

Hmmm Gman, It's nice to know that it might not be my PC. Anyone in San Antonio(or close like u Gman) having an issue with the server? Not sure if u played today or not Gman, if so are u laggin like crazy. Sorry im too stupid to figure out my own problems, but i do appericate the help.

im in austin and not lagging? not sure about my pings but i didnt have a noticeable amount of lag...

I did the trace thing and it triples my pings around the funserver connects. But not nearly as bad as yours. But the server have been lagging a lot lately.

That's strange. We live pretty close together but have different isps and we still lag. AND it's not anything on the way there...it's once we get there. Very odd.

I dont know if this helps but i know my ping started F*CKING up in the n00b servers....i was spiking to like 400 sometimes and it was jumping all over the place....i couldnt figure it out then i went to the steam settings and somehow the connection speed got reset to 56k modem when it was supposed to be on 768 dsl...maybe that helps i dont know!!

I don't think that is the the problem sOnny. I had the problem yesterday where I would lag only on n00b servers. I did the trace thing and had similar effects like Gman. I run Bellsouth DSL, and I live forever away from you and had the problem. So I restarted Steam hoping that would work since they are gay AFRICAN AMERICANS, and that didn't work. So I reset my router and my modem and got a new IP for it, and I traced it again and everything was fine.
