TF2 connection issues

UPDATE: So I put Age of Chivalry on and it was doing the same thing, which leads me to believe all Steam games are doing this, not just TF2
 
I feel like im writing a diary here... o_O

I just ran lpsfix / winsock fix and tried to join a game. The games on the server lists were not coming up like before, but if I open my friends list and click "join game" under a friends name, I did not have a problem, I will see if this continues to happen or if this was just one of those "oh sweet it works for 1 hour" deal.
 
Ive been getting lag, my mem usage for the game when I open processes is at 600k+?

And I just got this message: "A connection to the Steam VAC servers could not be made" and it booted me from my game.


EDIT: I rejoined the game and now its fine, the servers all had 400+ ping before but now they are at stable levels.. lets see how it goes.

EDIT: Im getting like 60 ping or less but my game is lagging, again game is using like 700k in my processes for some reason when I join a game, but when im out of a game its fine

Well somone touched up on that before and said try "rate 50000" I did that but I forget what the other cl_rates are at, Ill change them to whatever if they will fix my lag issue

Again, I am wondering why when I join a game my mem usage for hl2.exe jumps to about 680,000 in processes (only when I join a game) and I belive that is making me lag.

So now I think I can join games, but I am getting these lag spikes and delays (Im hoping when I joined a game before it was a permanent fix and not just something that lasts a few games then reverts back)
 
I don't think 600k of ram usage is that unusual. I frequently see anywhere between 300k and 600k of hl2.exe usage.

Hmm maybe thats usual, but I am definetly seeing lag that I never saw before.. maybe I DO need to adjust the rates to proper levels?

If anyone knows what to set rates to just lemme know, thanks :)
 
Omg Balzac, I've been having the same issue for two days now. I keep getting kicked out of eGo servers only.

Steam Internet Connection Speed
Check that you have your Internet Connection Speed properly set to match your internet connection type. You can find it in Steam's File > Settings > Download > Internet Connection Speed.

If you are sharing an internet connection or you suspect that your router is limiting your connection speed, try setting it to the next slower setting.

In-game Rate
Most connections work well with the default rate, cl_updaterate, and cl_cmdrate settings. Most servers prevent changing your in-game rate settings.

Default Settings:
  • rate 10000
  • cl_updaterate 20
  • cl_cmdrate 30

Things are looking pretty good now, some occasional lag when there are large groups but things are running great!

Thanks Scott (was lookin for a fix like that ) and others for helping me out here, ill repost if things go down the toilet again :)
