Hey, I was wondering if anybody knew the cause / solution to this. Playing on Jay#3 (Beginners) I usually get a good ping (around 50) yet lately, since perhaps last weekend or slightly before I have been suffering from horrible lag in game, even though the Ping has been fine (this is not frame rate lag btw). Looking at the lagometer I can see about half of the packets are arriving late, albiet not very, but still late, with the odd lag spike thrown in (quite often).
This results in a general delay in my gameplay which is extremely annoying. It is as if I am playing about 250ms behind everybody else e.g. I seem to start taking damage from somebody infront of me before they start shooting or are even on the screen. This also results in messages being lost between me and the server (which is odd, as they are still marked as yellow, not red which is lost) where commands I enter in, for example jump or send a message to general chat occasionally don't do anything. Likewise, server info to me such as who just killed me when I had a tiny bit of lag is sometimes also lost (i.e. looking in console, no death is listed). There is also the ever present bullet delay (shoot, bullets come out a little late) and other general delays & lost packets e.g. revive someone, but no sound plays and they teleport to their feet. All of this is while having a good ping.
