Lag/Packet Loss

[b 0 n Z a 1]

Hi, recently I cant play Quake 2 at all since I have about 50/60% packet loss..I've been playing Quake 4 fine with no problems at all, any commands I can do to help my lag? I was playing a few days ago fine, but now I just lag every 5 seconds.. ~ bonz

Are sure it is packet loss, it seems weird quake4 is okay:

what happens when you type "lag" in q2, and "pathping the_server_ip".  If you play q2 locally is it still messed up?

Lag stats for bonz:
RTT (min)/avg/max) : 38ms /39ms / 43ms
Connection quality : 0.00%
Server to Client PL : 38.03%
Client to server PL : 44.40%         

Just try'd Quake World, and the connection is smooth there too, I'm only having trouble with q2/qlive Any commands I can try? Theres no way Q4 should run smoother than Q2

Look at the server in your game browser and find its ip.  Then do "pathping IP"

Also, try locally to play quake do like "map q2dm1" it might still be fucked up.
