High Ping and Choke in Windows 7 (CSS/TF2)
Okay, just signed up for an account here because I see a lot of other people posting the same issue I am having, but none of the suggested fixes for me.
Symptoms:
-90ms - 180ms in CS:S and TF2.
-Massive amounts of choke in both games.
Specs:
CPU: 2.20 gigahertz AMD Athlon 64
Motherboard: ASUS A8N-SLI
Graphics Card: GeForce 8800 GTS
Network controller: NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller
Memory: 4gb DDR2
(By the way I just fresh installed Windows 7 64-bit Ultimate N from Windows XP.)
Firewall: N/A
So in XP I got around 50-60ms on this one server I play on all the time, when I switched to Windows 7 I get huge ping spikes ranging from 90ms to 180ms. I see no reason why this should be happening in 7 but not in XP. (I kept my XP HDD so I could switch them out to test this.) When the ping is higher everything in-game is choppy and slow, mainly physics and other players movement. My FPS are fine, being 40-60fps.
I've disabled autotuning, edited several things in my registry, turned off IPv6, setup a static IP, turned off network services, turned off a network reserve setting, and probably many other edits to my OS.
If anyone has any other suggestions, please, PLEASE, post them! I love Windows 7, it is much faster than XP on many fronts except this one annoying issue.
Thanks!
