Lag And Performance Problems

I'm sure I'm not the only one that's been afflicted by this, but I've noticed the Lotus servers have been having (insert title here). I don't quite remember when this started, but Mana, I know you know what's going on.

So in the name of the Lotus clan... what's up, doc?

You changed anything on the server data rate wise? Starting on the 20th, My brother and I have been lagging like crazy at random intervals while everyone else is unaffected. I run around with "net_graph 1" and I have noticed that my incoming data rate has gone up from ~7.3 k/s to ~16.0 k/s while my outgoing data rate went from ~7.3 k/s to only ~2.1 k/s. When I'm lagging my ping goes from 80ms to upwards of 200ms and I nor my brother are unable to move. Well for every 4 steps forward we take 3-5 backwards...

I was tempted to blame my isp as they have been real finicky recently but I joined a random server and played just fine. I can still hear my brother bitching about lagging in the other room.

What are your cl_cmdrate and cl_updaterate set to?

[Credomane 2]

Never messed with those so the default values i hope.

cl_cmdrate=30

cl_updaterate=20

cl_cmdrate=30

cl_updaterate=20

TF2 is locked to 66 tickrate. So your rates should be set to atleast:

cl_cmdrate 66

cl_updaterate 66

Well my brother quit lagging later that night after i went to bed. I'm guessing it was a routing issue between us and the server causing delayed/dropped packets. We have been fine all day today and I haven't changed anything.
