Stuttering HL

[old.Blackrat]

Since the new patch came out my HL playes ok but every now and again it stick (everything stops, the sound reveborates etc) for a sec or 2 then restarts.
Its a right b****r when yer in a fight !

This happen to everyone or just me ?

I've tried reinstalling the whole lot again.

Me too, i get it too, when it happens to me it feels like somebody is grabbing your shoulders and pulling you back, so dam anoying, i get a constant fps of 60, it's not my kit, it ran fine before, i can only presume it's this crap netcode iv'e had forced down my throat, i tried that cl_lc 0, thing it didn't make no difference, iv'e started playing q3 again, all on the highest settings at 1024 res @32bit i get 60 fps, smooth as f--k, umm so why does HL run so sh-te it's a two year old game FFS
