Stuttering and jumpiness in games online?

Hi guys. I have ADSL installed, 512kbps up and ~256kps down. When I play games online, Counter Strike, Unreal Tournament and Day of Defeat, occasionally I will jump forward or other players will do the same. Is this some sort of packet loss?

BTW, my pings are 40 - 60
 
ping around 40-60 is good.

when the jumpings happen, check what you ping is, does it spike up?
It is also possible that it's not you who's lagging, but other players.
 
Yeah, I thought about a ping spike but it never goes over 80 really, and I dont know how to check until I die:-( Yeah, I thought other could be laggy, and some are 200+ which may cause it. Thanks anyways, do you think i have anything to worry about?

<< I dont know how to check until I die:-( >>



while playing, if you sense those jumping symptoms, hit tab, right away (in counter-strike) to see your ping.

If you dont get fraged b/c of this, then there's nothing to worry about.
 
In CS just do

net_graph 1

or maybe it is netgraph 1


Not sure, try both 😉 It gives you a realtime chart with your ping. You can look for HUGE RED thingies to show if you have packet poss.
 
Well, I tried both, couldnt get the graph to work, so I just used the tab key. I went to an empty DoD server, and just ran back and for with the key on for about 3 minutes, and thee were not major jumps in ping, just from like 40 - 60 again. SO I guess that it's everyone else🙂 Thanks again

Try &quot;netgraph 1&quot; 🙂
 
net_graph 1 worked🙂 Well, there were a few ping spikes, but they werent anything to do with what I was describing. In other words, where the ping spike is, I dont notice in real play, so thats ok. Thanks again
