Hi guys,

i have a problem in all the steam games i have ever played- all seem to lag, in terms of internet, not frame rate. For example in tf2 im running along then all of a sudden everybody stops moving, i then appear somewhere else and most likely killed. During this lag the framerate doesnt drop and i am still able to move even though noone else is moving. This lag happens whenever it feels like. some matches it never happens some always. games like red 3 and bfme2 run flawlessly but their not connection hungry games.

As i mentioned this lag happens in all steam games, being particularly bad in l4d, where after the lag im inside the middle of horde being torn apart while team mates are some where else.

Im running a wireless conection, but im around 3 meters away from the router, signal strenght always being 100%.

And although i was promised "up to 8mb" broadband with AOL uk. Running a speed test, i recieved a ping of 74 and d/l speed of 2mb, which sucks:flame:. But should be sufficent.

Any ideas.:thumbs:
 
Did you correctly set the speed of your internet in Steam? In the Steam settings make sure your download speed is set to DSL/Cable >2M.


Aggressive spyware detection software may block the normal operation of Steam. We have received reports that Spycatcher Express, Webroot Spy Sweeper and CA Pest Patrol (bundled with AOL's Security Center) may prevent Steam client application updates and connecting to game servers.

Also, make sure you disable AOL's security centre if you have it running as it interferes with Steam.

no havent, will change the settings asap.(didnt know there was such settings).
Its funny you should mention the spyware thingy because i currently have had no anti virus programe for a month, ever since my kaspesky expired, i do like avg but steam doesnt.:x

Yep, aol ivades your pc, it gives you no unistall section (so i have to do it through add/remove programe) and when you exit the programe in the toolbar, it merely hides the icon.plus i dont use it! ill also get rid of that.

Hope this fixes my problem, thx for the reply pimpin.:thumbs:
