Having played against YeeHaw within the last 10 days this news is quite concerning. Although I am confident in not having been infected as I wear the Fuel Injector and taking care to wash my hands after every game, I shall go get tested just in case. Thank you YeeHaw by being responsible and telling us there is potential of infection.

this has been resolved! woo!

funny story as it turns out the reason for my lag spikes was because it wasn't a lag spike it was my frames dropping and the reason for my frames dropping was in fact cp_sunshine. every time i noticed myself "lagging" it was on sunshine in a pug. "i switch my net settings back to what they were before i tried chris' net settings, but the lagging starts again. so i say whatever, and switch back to credu's settings but this time i'm still lagging." this was actually just 2 sunshine pugs in a row. me looking at net_graph was me in a public server and considering sunshine with 12 people is enough to make me lag i don't think a server with 24 on any map would have a hard time doing that.

i don't drop frames or lag on any other map, only sunshine.

these are the settings i had before switching to chris' settings
cl_cmdrate 66
cl_updaterate 66
cl_interp 0.018181818
cl_interp_ratio 2
cl_predictweapons 1
cl_lagcompensation 1
cl_predict 1
cl_pred_optimize 1
cl_smooth 1
cl_smoothtime 0.0075
rate 120000

played the game with task manager on 2nd monitor and saw nothing and i'm not on credu's settings anymore

alright so i'm kind of retarded, so i'd appreciate any help with this. basically these lag spikes are as generic as they get, i freeze for like a nanosecond and then everything juts forward in time to where they should be, annoying as fuck but nothing too terrible.

i changed my net settings from what they were because i was convinced my hitreg was fucked up (turns out it was just firstperson tracers). i switched from what i had to chris' configs net settings with a rate i pulled out of my ass (rate 100000), and considering how old chris config is this probably wasn't that smart of an idea. after i did that that the lag spikes started, so instead of switching back to what i had i switch to net settings i got sent by my little sister credu and the lag spikes disappeared. however as a consequence my ping was masked and i think there's a rule in etf2l where i can't mask my ping, doubt that rule has ever been used to punish someone but still, i switch my net settings back to what they were before i tried chris' net settings, but the lagging starts again. so i say whatever, and switch back to credu's settings but this time i'm still lagging.

some things to mention that might be important:
- i used a mastercomfig version that was 2 years old but i updated it to the newest one and the lagging persisted
- i also tried using the net settings built into the config but i still kept lagging
- for credu's settings i started typing exec custom (custom.cfg is where my net setttings are) in console every time i started up tf2 and kept doing this for all net settings i used, however whether i did this or not had no effect on the lag spikes after having switched back to credu's
- also idk what it means but i was in a server with not having exec'd custom, had lerp 30.3, had a couple lag spikes, disconnected, exec'd custom, reconnected, lerp was 15.2, had a lag spike and noticed my lerp got set to 30.3 after it happened.

what i've been doing is trying different net settings but nothing has definitively gotten rid of the lag spikes, some settings do nothing and others make them less frequent but way larger. i checked and my internet itself is fine. any help with this would be much appreciated :) xoxo

edit: forgot to mention that during normal gameplay choke on net graph reads 1-2 occasionally but sometimes goes up to 10 or someshit, also during lag spikes loss is 1-2
edit2: none of this happens in other games

thank you so much

i was banned from b4nny's chat for suggesting that i could beat him in a scout 1v1. due to this, i would like to challenge b4nny to a 1v1 on badlands middle for the right to be unbanned. we can play on an NA server if he so desires, as long as it is from whatever area NA pugs are hosted from. thank you.

change to twitch.tv/fleshboundd

also lowercase the "n" in nuthouse for my name in the sidebar

probably not the reason but i'll still mention it just in case you have valorant but vanguard, the game's anticheat, causes this as well.

before i retire completely and go break my back in the military i'd like to pass on what i've learned over 5 years playing scout competitively. i may not be the greatest scout who ever lived but what i do know is how to play scout, i have what i would guess to be close to or even more than 3000 hours on scout alone.

i will mentor 1 person, with some conditions

you should:
- play 6s
- be ETF2L Mid no more no less, i'm not about to build a scout from the ground up and by mid you should at least have some sort of foundation to work off of.
- have a team you can regularly scrim and play officials with
- be keen to actually get good at the game and hopefully not someone that cares about whether or not the game will still be alive a year from now
- have free time to practice and play the game (you're hopefully someone still in school or young enough to not have any responsibilities to take care of)
- be able to speak english well enough so that we can both understand each other
- ideally be european but if you're an american the previous conditions still apply and instead of ETF2L Mid let's say RGL Intermediate

edit: aspiring gamer has been found, ty

personally want SKT to do well because i would suck teddy's dick if he appeared in front of me but at the same time i want to see what FPX and GRF can put together
