How to reduce lag
Ive been getting error from voice data when some people talk. It causes me to Buffer overflow in net message or something. Is there a way i can reduce that without buying a new computer or and new sound cards and stuff? Ive found that if i watch my console and every few minutes i snd_restart it helps to prolong my server stay. Is there another way?

If you are getting buffer overflow do this. Go to your desktop top make sure you are not in Hl2dm. Go to STEAM settings, then go to the DOWNLOADS tab and then click on the T1 option or the second highest one. I think if you have the new Steam beta thing you have to switch back to the old for to do this because I don't see the download tab on the new layout. I know for a fact this work I've told this to so many people and it fixed the problem.

Seems like this has been affecting a lot of people lately. I'm wondering if the Beta Steam is causing it, are you using it? If so, try reverting back to see if it happens as much.

Ive always had problems with voices messages in the server, especially when you got 5 at once going, laggs the **** out of me. No matter what computer, My desktop or new laptop.
Ill try what tanner said tho, maybe that will finally fix it.

I'm really not sure if im using it. I might be but i haven't been in steam settings for ages. How would i go about checking? And it happens a lot if i look at the whole map + peoples bases and people talking. Or if someone runs a laggy script and i look straight at it, Any tips on how to reduce lag period?
