Counter Strike Source "Ping too High" Problem
 

I have been playing CSS these 2 weeks and I am getting kicked out by every server i joined. It said my "ping is too high".....I get this not only in my own home...but my any friend's house and at school also....

any solution??

thanks

is this all on the same computer?

does the game run smooth? or is it actual lag?
some people get high latency but really smooth gameplay due to proper rates

are u joining low ping games to start with? before u join a game, check the server ping. low = server is close to you. should join ping <100

there are people playing css still?

^ i thought the same when contemplating whether or not to buy css when it went on sale for $5 during last xmas

it turns out it's still the 2nd most popular game on steam behind MW2.
there's still 30k players and over 10k servers...

what's more suprising is that cs 1.6 is still #3...wtf after 10 years

If you can, try going to servers with <50 ping for the best or <100 should be good as well.I bought CSS anyways since it was only for $5. Pretty fun if you play once in a while.

counter-strike 1.6 is one of the best games I have played.:thumbsup: It is still fun to play once in awhile.

>My doesn't lag at all but im getting a high ping. yes its pretty smooth

>I go to both high and low servers and still i get kicked out

>I have this on 2 computers with 3 different connections and all of them are like that.

^ Do you lag in any other games?

nope

You should going into steam settings -> downloads and change the internet speed, it might help

You might be entering servers where the AMX_HPK is being set low enough that it's kicking your ping even if you're not lagging at all.

Try the above strategy and see what happens.

Cl_cmdrate 101
Cl_updaterate 101
Rate 3000

Type that into your console(`) and see if it does anything. Those numbers are off the top of my head. Ill let you know the real ones when I get home. Also monitor your actual in/out and choke by typing net_graph 1 in the console too.

I got it for $5 when it was on sale....best $5 i've ever spent!

I actually found CSS way more fun than MW1 or 2
And I like CSS with zombie mod more than L4D2

rate 25000-30000

lol, this is nostalgic

remembered that i used to keep fiddling around with console settings to improve FPS and ping

fps_max 101
cl_cmdrate 101
cl_updaterate 101
rate 25000
ex_interp 0.01
hud_fastswitch 1
cl_dynamiccrosshair 0

:thumbsup:

well those are all the configs i use for 1.6 cevo matches
source has a diff name for interp and whatnot

nothing is working still XD
im still getting kicked out all the time...

try posting on steam forums
