Hello everyone,

I suffer from this problem every now and then and can't seem to find any solutions.
The problem is that my game lags like crazy, my ping on the scoreboard is fine (around 40) and my framerate is great aswell, however in the "net_graph" window, my ping is a continuous 160-200.
The game is really stuttery and almost unplayable at some point. (see video = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AfnbqiNExQ&feature=youtu.be )
My ping on speedtest.net is totally fine aswell and my internet is behaving as it should.

Does anyone know what this is and how to solve this?

Thanks in advance.

Are you using a config? What are your net settings?

Any chance you can get an Ethernet cable? That's what fixed it for me. I had no issues with other games, only with tf2 and I've seen plenty of others with the same problem, so I guess this game just runs like shit on wifi. Maybe getting a better router or a better adapter on your PC might improve it but I don't have enough technical knowledge to give you advice there
