Sorry to revive an old thread, but the problem sure as hell isn't old. It's excruciating to play on the Zh1 server because there are enormous amounts of lag (usually this is followed by that auto-disconnect countdown timer showing up). Today's experience for me was with cs_arcticbase w/ frequent lag spikes, then cs_silenthill 2 (that one absolutely raped w/ lag), club26 started out good, then massive lag spikes followed and the admin had to change the level to alps, and when I connected to the Alps map, there were only about 5 or 6 human players (including me) and my ping was already skyrocketing over 100 with lag spikes as well as the auto-disconnect warning. Is anyone working to fix this problem? Because it's a pain constantly getting lag-killed.
