Hmm, maybe it's not just the 2fort no mods server. The Valve Maps 1 sever was acting the same way this morning. Half second freezes and constant choppy jitters, people with good pings asking each other "anyone else lagging?".
I don't know what's going on, but it's annoying. Could it have something to do with them messing with the item servers for updates? Or is it just a problem with the SourceOP servers? I almost never play on other servers, not recently anyway, so I don't know.
And for some reason, ever since the most recent Steam client update, TF2 crashes every time I press TAB in-game. I've accidentally pressed it five times now. Sigh.
Not to mention this problem I've been having for several months now (ever since that server voice codec update, I think), where any mic I use outputs hellish static 75% of the time, ONLY with Source games. I've tried everything, and apparently Steam support can do nothing about it.
Drunkenfool, fix it! Fix it all! Now!
