first of all: don't flame me and come up with stuff like "use teh search n00b". i did. i spent about an hour reading threads that didn't help me at all, so i decided to make up my own.
now to my problem.
the whole thing started about 2 or 3 days ago. i join a server having my usual ping of around 60-80 (yeah i know, that's not too god, but well, my internet connection sucks). i always played with my ping like that and never had any problems.
but now i start playing and after about 10 seconds i get this damned "there's a problem with your connection". nothing works for a couple of seconds and suddenly the message is gone and i can go on playing normally. another 10 seconds later the message is back and it's lagging as hell again. then all of a sudden, everything's fine again. this usually goes on for a couple minutes until i lose my patience and quit playing. and it's not the server. that happens on every server i join.
i don't understand where that shit comes from. everything was running fine just a couple days ago. also, it can't be the new patch. i've had some nice time playing after the patch. it really apperared out ouf nowhere. i didn't change any firewall or router settings or any of my equipment.
it's really just like "i'm playing just perfectly", "i shut down my pc", "i start up the next day" and "everything's screwed"
this is really pissing me off big time. so please try and give me any advice you can come up with.
thanks in advance
