Red spikes means packet loss. PB shouldn't cause packet loss, but if what you describe is correct, it seems to be.

That could be part of the problem. It could well be that PB is triggering this, but the main problem is low memory. Set com_hunkmegs to 56, or slightly more if you get hunk_alloc errors.skillzilla wrote: i have 256 ram
the problem only occured a while ago
ive tried setting all the com_xxxxxmegs to different values, but with no results
Next time you have the lags, watch the hard disk light, and see if it is flashing when the lags happen. If it is, it means that either you are running out of memory, or there is some backround task firing up.
Setting your detail and sound quality low can save some memory.
Make sure to close any programs you don't need before you play.
