Hi Ladies and Gents,
I have had a few people say that they are getting random lag spikes on the servers.
If you are getting these lag spikes please post in this thread.
I need the following info:
- Your ISP.
- What is your account based on, IS/Telkom.
- Where in SA are you?
- Does your ping stay constant or jump?
- Describe the lag spikes.

will check it out when I am able to game again next week and let you know.
- Telkom
- Telkom.
- Johannesburg, Sandton
- It jumps from about +-5 to about +-150
- When I kill or get killed by an enemy, it lags. When the bomb is planted, defused, or explodes there is lag and when a new round starts. Seems to me that when there is a lot of commotion on the server, i lag.
I hope that helps!
Myself and BarrabaS did some testing last night by removing all the plugins. The game seemed a lot smoother, so I can only assume that it must be one of these plugins. I am going to test it this weekend and see which plugin is causing the lag spikes.

Ping was constant(tried again 5 min later and ping was between 75 and 500 normally sits at 55)
Game was very jittery, everything was jumping and not smooth game play at all. actually quit game.

Usually around 50ms during the day, randomly jumps to 70+ now. Bad spikes are experienced just after killing someone or being killed, ping spikes to around 150.
512k line, 12500/40/30 rates.
It does seem to be a lot better lately though. What is annoying is that after the patch I seemed to be getting much, much better hit registration, but in the last 4 or 5 days it's gone completely pearshaped.
It's at the point now where playing is pointless. This isn't just me, half the fights you see now are people blasting away at each other, perfectly on target, and not getting any hits.
I hardly lag at all now!

Agreed. I put a full deagle clip and 2 m4 clips into a guy yesterday and only hit him 3 times. alot of shots not registering. not sure if its the servers or the update.
There's just too much going on at once.

Elaborate?
Playing D2 sniperless, 2am, 8 people playing, it still has lag spikes and the hit reg is still bad. Playing D2 normal middle of the day, 20 people, no problem...
Of course this could just be me :)
