Yep. Same thing happens with tf2 as well, but not as often.

Hungover Engie

My TF2 used to lag or low fps when my ping was ok.

So I ctrl, alt, deleted and got up task manager and something was using 50% of my cpu.

So I googled it and found out it was safe to turn off (something to do with nero).

Check task manager when it happens again see if you can see any high cpu usage.

Found some funky things running in the background and googled them. Appearantly my anti-virus have caught a virus.
And something called "wiskeystate.exe"??

Ended them both.

wlan = wireless lan I think

Right, home (finally).
Nope, I got all wire contact with my net.

What kind of "lag Spike" ? Do you mean low fps at certain times or does it look like actual lag where a player could be running, stop, then suddenly appear 10ft forwards from where he was?

Nope, it's me who's m-o-v-i-n-g l-i-k-e t-h-i-s.

I'm stucka at a halt here, I've been tuning down the video preferences, but it makes no noticable difference whatsoever.

Very annoying.

Thing is, my laptop is pretty much brand new, I'm fairly certain that that it isn't viruses (of any significance anyway) and I've tried disabling both firewall and anitvirus.

And the game runs so smoothly when it doesn't lag. Something is overloading something and I'm at the brink of raging.

AND WHAT THE FUCK IS WHISKEYSTATE.EXE!?

Holy feck, I am having a kind of same problem with TF2. It runs smooth most of the time, but I randomly see myself walking forth while everyone around me is suddenly standing still. Then it's like somebody rewinds and I stand on the same place like before, while they have moved forward. Srsly, it is ruining the whole game. I started to get these problems when I got my pc back, when it was supposed to be as good as new. Also, I got a new Antivirus/Firewall now, which I leave on while I'm playing. So I think my firewall is being a dick. Fuck you Norton 2k9 Headbang
