I usually start a bit later than that. hehehe (but more to the point - of course it's mostly going to be around that time; thats when people play!)]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=general&topic=15565&post=276025 Wed, 09 Feb 2011 01:58:10 +0100 Reply by Permzilla https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/general/topic-15565/page-2/?recent=276862#post=275994 Quoted from AnimaL

people with the same ISP, living in the same road as me aren't having any problems, so I don't really understand :/]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=general&topic=15565&post=275994 Tue, 08 Feb 2011 23:15:31 +0100 Reply by Animal https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/general/topic-15565/page-2/?recent=276862#post=275991 Quoted from Daleth

[...] Ok, it's happening again, which makes me think it must be something to do with the time of day? I sent a steam support ticket in, but I want to fix this within 2 weeks, so can anyone else help?

i dont have and never had any ping spikes, even though i am using win7 does it actually lower your ping if you disable it or does it only fix the spiking ?
its a bug fix... not some kind of magic ping decrease thingy only affected on some rare hardware+software configuration]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=general&topic=15565&post=275838 Tue, 08 Feb 2011 18:15:23 +0100 Reply by Rychius https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/general/topic-15565/page-1/?recent=276862#post=275834 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=general&topic=15565&post=275834 Tue, 08 Feb 2011 18:04:46 +0100 Reply by wild-shifty https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/general/topic-15565/page-1/?recent=276862#post=275809 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=general&topic=15565&post=275809 Tue, 08 Feb 2011 17:10:03 +0100 Reply by Spike Himself https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/general/topic-15565/page-1/?recent=276862#post=275805 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=general&topic=15565&post=275805 Tue, 08 Feb 2011 17:07:05 +0100
