Everytime theres a gun battle i get 5-20 choke. I have messed around with rates until i was blue in the face. So i know its not that. Any other ideas. My flat m8's get no choke at alll when they play

Why dont i understand thiss... Choke? What game>
He's talking about Counter Stirike, either Source or the original.
If you have tried the same rates as you flat mates while playing on the same server?, if you have and you are on the same connection as them, then I would look at maybe updating your network card drivers. you never know.

Once you have seen it you will never be the same
Life in the fast lane is just how it seems
Hard and it is heavy dirty and mean
Since when has the term choke been used, i surpose its a refrence to low frame rates. Check for programs running in the background.

choke is a reference to packets getting stuck iirc, ie you get too many and can't process them all at once. It affects every online game, not just Quake 2 based games (ie Half life 1, CS, TFC, DoD etc) or HL2 based (eg css), so he could be talking about any online game
So before we can help could do with knowing which game it is, what computer specs you got and what internet connection you have, then we can help more.
Normally the way to fix choke problems is to reduce your rates, but you say this isnt helping. Does it happen on all servers? Choke can often be caused by the server rather than the client. A slow computer playing at gfx options it can;t quite cope with can also cause choke in my experience.
Also, if this is CS/CSS that your talking about, 5-20 choke is nothing to worry about unless you are noticeing it - and even then it may not be the choke thats the issue. Whats the loss like? whats your ping like? is it stable?
i am noticing it and yes it css, everytime theres a gun fight and i get lag![]()

can you answer me qns then pls, will help
Whats the loss like? whats your ping like? is it stable? what computer specs you got and what internet connection do you have? is it a shared connection? Are you behind a router or firewall? does this happen on every server? does it happen in LAN games?
Counterstrike source:
2100 athlon
512 ddr
ti4200 128mb with a config the size of my arm(have tried without config)
My 2 flat m8s both play with no choke but there systems are much higher spec.
Were sharing a 1mb line, but genreally only 2 play at same time.
:|||:> Ping is stable and loss never goes above 0

Ok, what sort of pings do you get? and does this happen on every server or just one?
You have a relativly low spec system there too which probably isnt helping - what graphics settings are you using? ie resolution, detail etc
800 by 600, ping is 40 odd.

you love to make things difficult dont you
anyway even without knowing the details of your setup, it does indeed sound like your PC is at fault here, could be anything though - try running it at the lowest possible settings, 640x480, low detail, no water effects, no AA etc etc and see if that fixes it.
Could be your network card even, if it's built in it could be the issue. A proper intel or 3com one *might* fix your problem. More likely a more up to date video card (9600pro or above) would fix your issue, again no guarentees tho
got a 3comall the settings u mentions are already on, apart from the res which i doubt make much diff, im also running in DX81. I never used to get te choke which is the annoying thing.
, and i formated since then an tried everything ican think off

Do you have all the latest windows/ graphics drivers. Have you changed any hardware since you formatted?
