Give me a Novint Falcon

Wow, recently bought Day of Defeat Source and I am having the same problem. CS:S, L4D, any non source game all work pretty fine but these two games have that problem. And what the steam support has to offer is completely worthless too which sucks because all they can give are the support pages.

I don't have a router, I am using just a modem.

It has been a little bit for this problem and it hasn't gotten better. I decided that I would uninstall the game and reinstall as a final try to make it work. Surprisingly for the first few days I could connect to servers with very little problem. Then after a few more days, it started to...

I don't believe I can go into the modem, but a friend suggested doing the command line prompt forcing the game to run in directx 8 mode. It seems to be at least partially working. I wonder though that since this "solution" is kinda working, would I need to update my directx 10 or 9 files, or...

just an update, tf2 is still acting very odd, I did contact my internet provider and they said that everything looks good, the thing to watch for is when getting disconnected is if any lights on the modem are going on or off, which i haven't noticed before but i also haven't paid full attention...

I can't really say when it started happening, but just about every time I boot up my computer, the resolution has reverted back to a lower one than I have it set at. In the past my computer has been fine with having it at a high resolution. My first guess is that maybe with the latest nvidia...

I'm using a Speedtouch modem. I think it is just a modem, no built in router. My friend played on his own computer, and the way we had internet set up was that, there was the modem upstairs, which had a long internet cord that went through a hole to the downstairs that went into a switch, and...

But what I don't get is what's wrong that I might need a new pc. Like I've said before, I have reinstalled TF2 at least three different times but I still have the same problem. What also really gets me is that every other game I play online works essentially fine. Its like either my ISP is...

I don't know if it helps but recently I have had the net graph on while playing to see what happens with whats displayed and I believe in all cases that the connection problem happens the Statistics known as In and Out, the In just freezes wherever it is. Hopefully that bit of information can...

Windows firewall, which I have off half the time but I do have TF2 on the accepted list of programs. And I have also tried uninstalling everything steam related and re downloading and installing my games to no result. As well as verifying the cache integrity.

All, there are just a few exceptions.

Well I did have friends over recently and my one friend that also plays TF2 was able to play no problem. That leads me to believe that it is more likely my computer or something and not the service provider. But then again, they played on servers that I recently found out that I could connect...

Well since I can remember, TF2 for me has always been the bane of my steam games. For starters, I nearly always have a connection problem within 1-2 minutes of entering a server, any server. There are a few exceptions that I can connect to but these are very far and very few. I have tried all...
