FPS drop, ping spike

[Killer Jonesy]

within the last month or so a rather frequent problem has been occuring. i'll be happily in-game and then, BANG, my fps drops from around 115 to 10 and my ping will spike from around 38 to 80/90. this only happens in CSS.... what the fuck is going on?????

your computer is doing something in the background most likely.

I get that if someone sends an email from my home with an attachment

1. quit downloading porn while ur playing!

2. install a program like > http://www.iobit.com/gamebooster.html

it will aid in killing off extra process/un needed while ur playing. me and rest of the nubs at RS been using for a while.

uh,.. the other suggestion,is uh,.. see suggestion #1 . but ya, u got things running that can or need to be killed. like a anti-virus scanner perhaps, uh, playing music while ur playing.

if u have a few other pc's connected to ur Lan * like I do,.(xbox live, Wii, other laptops or the boys PSP,..ect). it can cause a bit of a lag. When the wife gets online to do her online class, it just kills meh. i feel like im on dial up.

so i do this, make the kids all go to bed. tell the wife to go to work. turn off the xbox/wii. psp, laptops,..other pc's,.. whatever. works for meh.

tried to the program, no luck.... i went and shut off the other computer on the network and still received the massive fps bomb and ping spike :(

i'll remove a few unused programs to see if that helps

** all else fails,.. take ur router outside, smash it with an bat, catch the left over pieces on fire, to sacrifice to the INTERNET GODS ! :D
