PS even though the lagometer looks different when playing demos you can see red spikes. that is my constant packetloss.

mmmm that's strange because as I see it from server and from my own pc your route now looks clean, this time I did no find any problems. furthermore now digging the routes looks like that unknown to me "envia TEL GmbH" network is yet another re-seller/partner but of the well know hetzner this time which as can be seen here seems to be working just fine. so I don't really know I believe that that should have probably solved your problem, perhaps that was just a temporary issue and may be in few minutes is working just fine or perhaps that network in what they placed you now is a shared one (and hence the spikes), can't really tell for sure, perhaps try in some time or try unplugging your router for a minute and plugging it back.

Thats odd but it does not seem to affect your game play: movement, aim, hits - it's all fine.

I experience several issues since I play here: rocket jumps are often not working, movement is overall somehow buggy (sometimes but seldomly really smooth), aim to hit is a bit laggy. I always thought it is the usual ping lag, but there could be something worse. I don't know but if you look, for example, in your demo, you spectated me shafting someone in the dungeon at around 18:48 onwards and there you can clearly see that my shaft is lagging behind the opponents movement. When I see your shaft there is no lag. It is constantly on the opponent. Furthermore when I rail I always have to aim a bit predictive while you can aim directly. Do you use timenudge? Perhaps I should experiment with that again

The other (new) thing are the new mini-lags, of course. But that is something different and unfortunately I am not able to show it in a demo as the demo just ignores the lags. The lagometer also shows no spikes or gaps, at all - and I cannot make any live video as then I cannot really play (adjust resolution, scaling monitor, adjusting sense, etc. - it would be a mess).

By the way, I recognized that your gamma seems to be too high - it looks a bit ugly (don't you prefer more contrast?) but perhaps it looks different on a CRT

@adminless: Half an hour later it stabilised again, yesterday but I will further observe that - and I already unplugged it before.

if you record a demo and watch the demo afterwards you cannot see and feel the lag i saw and felt. it looks better than it was but u r right - it was playable - could be better but still ok - e.g. yesterday issues were much bigger for me so i did not play a lot.

if you watch my demo also:
1 i do not know if its my indivudal settings or unlagged mod but the demo never shows what i saw. i think unfreeze unlagged hit detecting works by what client sees. demo records what server sees + client hit detection so there is a delay in between.
2 i definitely do not use timenudge. i think if u r using unlagged mod its not helping anways --> dont do it (i tried myself)
3 my shaft is also delayed on the demo but i often shoot with lg at newbies who do not strafe left or right so it looks like i am always "full on" when i am actually not or just because of the newbish enemy
4 if you use unlagged you do not have to predict with rail - the hit detection is delayed but it is counted what you see on your monitor in the moment you hit the attack button.
5 when i upload movies i always make it brighter and give more contrast. i never really get the recorded movie to look like my actualy q3 config. (i have a white crosshair so it cant be too bright otherwise i couldnt see it - well who needs crosshairs if you have autoshoot? just kidding...)
