Ping went up

[EwilTwin]

Today when i played in silent server, everything was fine and normal. configs, ping etc.

But then i visited jaymod server.. went back to Silent. and now everything is f***ed.

My ping is 150-160, used to be 112-125

My name colours changed,

All my settings reseted..

I got this same problem when i installed win10..

I know that i can make my settings (FOV,aiming.etc) how they were, but that ping issue.. i dont remember how to fix that.

anyone can help? i really hope i dont have to uninstall ET..but that lag what is caused by that high ping, is making et unplayable for me.

Did you restart ET before you changed the servers? I know that I had problems in the past where my config got messed up when I switched between different mods without restarting ET.

 

Not the best at fixing the connection but did you check if your connection settings like rate, cl_maxpackets, etc. are still right?

Not a solution, but I advise everybody to make copies of all the etconfig.cfg files in all of their profile folders in etmain and all of the mods' folders.  

 

If an etconfig.cfg file gets corrupted for any reason, then you can then restore the copy.

 

I have had the WTF experience of joining a server to find all the settings changed to the defaults for that mod.  Sometimes only the mod's etconfig is changed and sometimes it is the etmain/profiles/playerName etconfig that has changed.

 

If you find yourself in EvilTwin's situation, you can try killing the ET.exe process and then rebooting.  Perhaps your config file(s) were not changed, but only the settings in RAM were and were not written to file yet or at all.

Something that is always worth trying in this situation is system restore

it rolls back your computer to an earlier time when it worked correctly

 

this feature has restored my cfg, changed mouse drivers and mod settings countless times over the years
