I started TF2 and watched my bandwidth. Nothing out of the ordinary. Of the games I've tried, only Portal did it. TF2 works fine for me. Go figure?
I wonder what routers/modems are being used by those that get timed out? I'm using a Westell 2100, which has a fairly large routing table. My Netgear had a real small routing table, and would do this quite easily. Never seen it happen with the Westell. ----- Original Message ----- From: "James McKenna" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list" <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, May 04, 2008 10:10 PM Subject: Re: [hlds] So what is steam client uploading that iskilling/hammering clients connections? > Not sure if this is related but lately I've been getting timed out of TF2 > servers without warning.
