Need help reading the lagometer


(Cerebrate) #1

I’m getting the following quite a bit lately:

The game will “freeze” up for about a second, roughly every two minutes or so.

Could someone please tell me what the problem is? I’m getting this on all servers, so it’s either my connection or my settings.

I understand that the lower graph indicates my connection, and from looking at those pictures it seems like it’s “constipated” for a little while, as if the client or server isn’t receving anything.

Here are some of my network settings:

cl_maxpackets 85 // correlating to com_maxfps 85 and r_displayrefresh 85
cl_packetdup 1 // whatever
rate 25000 // gg
snaps 20 // should be irrelevant, afaik

Do use Ati card with nforce3 chipset mainboard ? I heard such problems are common for this configuration. If this is the problem I’m thinking of, it’s triggered by Punkbuster memory scan.
