Gameplay Delay in 1.6 :S

[Drackard]

Hey Guys, i have been playign 1.6 for 4 years now and never in my life have i had this problem, i have recently reformatted my computer so of course i had to reinstall Steam and all the games etc etc ... anyway, i went to play a pcw in 1.6 today and i kept getting some delay while playing, its like, i would hold W to run forward then i'd let go but it would still carry on running, it also did this while firing, i have tried deleting my config, a few commands but nothing is working for it so i was wondering if you guys had any idea ???

I remember this problem years ago. It always happend when i ran the game in direct3d. I would try to update your video drivers and make sure you have the latest direct X.

Well i've chekced my graphics drivers and they are upto date, so its not them, what else could it be ??

Maybe use openGL?
Update you sound card drivers and your Mobo drivers.

I have never once in my life updated my mobo or sound drivers and ive been playing 1.6 for 4 years and never had this problem and i am using openGL.

Just for those who also suffer from this problem i browsed the steam powered forums and there are tons with it and someone had a solution, start up steam and then bring up your procesess menu (Ctrl + Alt + Del) and right click Explorer.exe and set prority to "High" and then go to Steam.exe and set priority to "Low", i don't know why but it has worked for me, so thought i would post it here incase someone else was suffering from the same problem
