Server Lags HUGE - only when i join it?

[Dizzybro]

Hi, i made a zombie mod server with mani and stuff.

My friends go in it have a great time w/e and then if i join. The lag becomes hugggggggeeee. maybe 10 steps forward, and then 9 steps back -.-


and this isn't just me that it happens to when im in there, its everyone...any help?


its a 16 person server....and i have more than enough system specs to give to it

is it a srcds installation on a dedicated box or on your own pc? and what's your connection speed?

You shouldnt serve and play on the same PC really but if you really want to set the priority of the srcds to high and all should be better.

After hearing that you are playing on the same computer you are hosting on and looking at your computer specs, I agree with Drocona that your issue is that.
