I'm not sure, never seen it but I always get that moving text type crap in console I guess it's just one of the many bugs of Ins. Dose it hinder your game play?

 

[Barmy Army]

well i am as you know struggling to play and it does seem to have got worse in recent months than before.
but i cant say if this is the cause for some of my issues.
just wanted to know if anyone knew what it was or if there was a way to fix it ?

i do know that 208.43.76.155:27015 is the dust server ip addy.
but NET_SendPacket Warning: WSAEINVAL ive no idea what that is

That's an invalid parameter error. Since it comes up on when a send function is called, it means the socket was not bound. In other words, you were disconnected before this error came up.
What's causing you to be disconnected? I don't know. It could be a million things.

Its a problem with your ISP or router/modem thing.

try disabling your firewall or something.

so it could be reason for lag if im dropping and then picking back up again ?

You a definitely having ip problems. Yes it could create lag. I don't believe you are being disconnected, but you could be missing packets. Let me do a little research.

Solution, go to your ISP, pistol whip them, then ask for better interwebz/

i looked and found something saying adjust rates ?

 

[extremelyhotsauce]

rates, like the cl_ and regular rate command in console? Have you changed them?

 

[Barmy Army]

no i havnt changed anything from standard i dont belive
but how would i know if they are set as standard ?
is there a restet command ?

 

[extremelyhotsauce]

just type in cl_updaterate or just plain rate in console. It should give you what its set at or what the default is or both. lol I remember play on a 64 slot dust 2 server on CS:S half the team would have '1' for ping so when they were shot at the hit reg was off lol.
