For the past few days when I play TF2 and am being shot at/hit..I loose control of my character.

Its like, while Im being shot, the mouse is almost unfunctionable. (is that a word, heh). I cant aim, I cant seem to move hardly at all and at times, while being shot, the bullets im being shot with actually seem to move me.

A fellow [H]'er who was playing on the same server I was walked me thru a few console functions to see what was going on. Asked me, after typing in net_graph 3, what the FPS, Ping and Choke was.....

The FPS was around 40-50
Ping was about 60-70
Choke was at 50 while in combat, 1-2 when no one was around.

We tried a few things to fix the situation, but nothing seemed to help.

He had said that at times, it happens to him too and clears itself up....but also said there is a chance that it wont clear up on its own.

I have done NOTHING different from any other time I play. My computer is untweaked, I dont mess around in the console so no settings were changed. Ive been playing TF2 since its release and this problem has only seemed to happen recently although ive done nothing differnt and changed nothing.

Does this happen to anyone else?

Anyone have a solution I can try to correct the situation?

TIA for any ideas/thoughts/solutions....
 
Can't say for sure... can be multiple things. My first reaction was to suggest that you don't have enough RAM, stuttering occurs when you don't have enough RAM, but seeing you have 2GB, that should be enough. Try defragmenting you HDD

I'd have to go with a possible virus/spyware for now, other than that I don't know.
 
It's the update. Same thing happening to me.

I can't stop playing though... update rocks >_<

And I have e6400 @2.7 ghz, 4 gigs ddr2 1066 ram, and gtx 260, I run crysis at 30 fps at 1920x1080 at max settings, no chance in hell this should be stuttering....

And yes, this only started after the update.
 
I get some occasional stuttering when either I or an opponent pops out a crit.

Impossible, heh.

I run NOD32 :D

Yeah, I was thinking it could be the update...and if so, that really sucks cause the game is unplayable for me atm. I'll get an Uber charge from someone, go rushing out with my minigun spinning, recieve return fire and it pushes me it different directions. I cant aiim and I can hardly move at all, making the game unplayable. :mad:
 
Bump again.....

Figured Id give it a bit of time before I played again. But, just got thru getting my butt kicked because I cant return fire when getting shot cause I just become frozen kinda. I can still fire, but cant move the aiming site or move myself.

Everything is fine UNTILL I start getting shot at.

Anyone got any ideas what the HELL is going on?
 
Can't quite tell from your signature, but are you using SLI video cards? I know that SLI and the source engine aren't always the best of friends and stuttering is a very common problem with it.

Aside from that, what driver version are you using?
 
Nope, no SLI.....Just a single 8800gts 320.

Driver version.....LOL...damn, I havent even thought about drivers since I got this card...If I remember correctly, its either 168.something or 172.something....

Not saying that could or couldnt be the problem cause my tech skills are very limited, but if the game was running fine before, why would it now be a problem?
 
Hmmm,

Well, this problem does seem to have appeared after their latest patch/upgrade with all the new engie and spy stuff.

Thanks for the reply Bro, its the best advise ive had so far...I'll take the shot.
 
Does it happen just on that specific server or on other servers? Could always be just a crappy server hoster.
