I used to play Counter-Strike Source and HL2 Deathmatch often, usually on local servers with a ping of about 30-70. At that point, nothing seemed terribly laggy. After not playing the game for a few weeks, I decided to play. However, whenever i join a game, even if i have the lowest ping in the server (around 30-40), I get horrible lag, and i cant see anybody because they jump around on the screen (although i'd bet they could see me, as they did not have any difficulty in killing me). I was wondering if this is a result of a recent update or something, or if anyone else has experienced a similar problem. I tried reinstalling, but that has not worked. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

ps. I don't think my connection is the problem (1mbit dsl), and ive checked to make sure that no programs are using upload or download bandwidth before playing.
