    Wink HL2: DM Issues

    Figured with a fair few of you being GSPs I might stand a good chance of someone having a bright idea.

    Recently, whenever I try to play HL2: DeathMatch online, I am having 'issues'

    It will connect fine to any server, play for about 30 seconds, then just 'stop'

    I can still scroll weapons, pan view, all the normal things.. however the world around he has just 'stopped'

    Then, I get a 'Warning: connection problem' and it drops the server.

    I try again, sometimes it works and i Play for hours, sometimes it does the same..

    Now, most likely related... I recently upgraded to DSL2+ 24mbit with bulldog.
    One thing they did say was they interleaved the communication packets between me and them for improved speed (but it resulted in ping times doubling from 8-9ms to 18ms or so to most places)

    The only other thing I did was remove my Local HL2: Game (just right clicked and remove in Steam) leaving HL2M installed.

    Anyone got any ideas? The connection is defo up as my SSH connections dint drop / Router shows no issues... Just seems like something is upsetting the HL2: DM servers.

    When it does work, it works fine for hours on end.

    Long shot i know

    Beer for anyone who finds the fix (so long as it isn't Revert to DSL1 )

    I guess the first question is, do you get it with any other net based games (especially steam based)

    hehehe

    I dont play any other Steam / Net games..

    only DM when I fancy fraging some kids

    I just played a level fine, changed maps and I didnt have it.. so changed servers .... 30 secs in, about to Crossbow someone .. and it freezes..

    Really starting to annoy me now, as I just get into the mood and it locks up.

    Not limited to one server, not limited to one map..

    but if I do find one it DOES work on, it doesnt die on map change (Lockdown/Overwatch/Lockdown/etc retations work for hours on end!)

    DSL isnt being used at the time (Mrtg is showing < 25K/s going thru.

    CPU is fine also.. Turned off outlook / MSN to see if it was either of those, no correlation..

    If I change servers enough, it eventually just finds one it works on and is fine..

    I was thinking maybe some glitch re: Server Versions, however I cant believe i am the only person ever to notice if it was that.. I might try reinstalled HL2: Game again to see if that resolves it.. but I cant see why it should..

    I have this feeling its going to be down to the DSL2+ trial.. its the only thing that makes decent sence.

    Showing no dropped packets (ping testing whilst playing) but they are doing 'funky stuff' with the packets which might be upsetting 'some versions' of the Source servers.

    Aah well, had hoped it would be some 'you n00b, you need to do XYZ'

    Thnx guys

    Olly, alas I am not running any server myself, this is just me playing as I get bored..

    The error I see is that the connection was lost to the server..

    aah well.. guess I will just have to forget how fun HL2 is until I get off this DSL2+ trial again.

    hehe, just managed to get on a server

    #1 96 kills, 14 deaths

    I love DM

    i've resigned myself to just trying server after server and making a note of which ones work.. its just they're not always busy!

    Will try reinstalling HL2 and see if that fixes.

    New HL2 Expansion pack out next month, so will need it for that anyway.
