Patch gave me crazy performance hiccups

[butternuts]

OK check this out, Valve screwed something up with that last patch. Since then, I'll be playing normal for 30 secs to a min then all the sudden I get HUGE lag spikes. I can still move around the map fine but it sounds like people are popping off one shot at a time and the kills dont show up in the corner, and chat/speech doesn't appear. Then abotu 5 seconds later BAM everything comes back. Then I get 30 seconds more of normal gameplay.

Watching my net graph, I get about 60 ms ping until I hit some action, then I get spikes between 1000 and 2000 ms, then usually I'm dead by then, and it settles back to 60 ms.

Anybody else having similar issues with hiccups like this? I ran into one other person who described the same thing tonight. I'd just like to see if anybody else is getting this so we can confirm that it's a bug.

Thanks.

Yes recently if someone starts shooting or something i get slowdown. I dont think its lag though, and after about 4-5 mins of playing a map everythings back to normal.

It's weird it comes and goes. Sometimes I can play for a few mins without it, but then after awhile it comes back.

At first I thought it was video stutter from my comp loading the maps/textures, but sometimes it happens WELL after I've been all over the map.

Anybody else?

If you have a wireless router, it is definatly because of that.

No wireless router. And even if I did, nothing in my hardware has changed. Only CS.

Well don't worry about it anyway. I've stopped playing. CS pisses me off now. Horrendous hit detection, a LOT of questionable players, spray and pray headshots, and matches that boil down to AWP cheese. I was an old school CS player and had fond memories, I hoped Source would livin things up again, and it did. It got old quick however, and I think the animated spray of two men screwing just made me quit for good.
