Ok through my deep investigations about lag i concluded :
Example a player Joins and then :
-NoobPlayer : LaG !
-[P*D]Backtracker : =.=
-NoobPlayer : OMG LAGG ! , stupid server !
SERVER : NoobPlayer has left the game
It's NOT MY FAAAUUULLTT D=
if you got lag here is how to get less lag and lower your ping,
try these Tips : Those apply to most if not all FPS games
1- Stop downloading things while playing (movies , songs , anything)
2- Turn off windows Update (it sucks !) just take bandwidth for -apparently Nothing useful
go to Start > Control panel > windows update > turn off windows update
3- Lower your Game resolution, It helps a lot -especially if you have an old/low specs computer
in the game menu choose : Options > video > resolution > choose 800x600, with 800x600 you have good quality rendering and a good ping, in extreme cases use 640x480
And : use D3D as your game render instead of OpenGL since many graphic cards do not tolerate OpenGL
4- For those who have a Router/ Wireless access point..Use the Ethernet cable instead of your wireless connection, or at least get as near as possible to your wireless Router (see below) :
it can help you lower your ping up to 30 ms
6- Be smart.. investigate behind the lag: console net_graph 1 and see your FPS rate if its lower than 24 Fps then you should put lower resolution or get a better Computer :)
7- in shared Internet connections ask your Siblings/ friends or anyone who shares your Internet connection to lower their Internet bandwidth consumption (do not tell them the reason..)
8- There are other tricks that i tried, some of them require the user to mess with the registry.. it did not help a lot and its a VERY risky step so i wont mention it..
