Whenever I play I have this glitch every few minutes/lives where my screen lags out for a few seconds then resumes with some people on my team and the opposite team being invisible for me. I know that recording a demo and stopping it fixes it temporarily, but it happens to me frequently and I don't know how to stop this. I have a bind that does the record/stop but I'm still annoyed by the fact that it can happen in the middle of a fight. Anyone have ideas on how to fix this?

havent played a source engine game in forever, but you just start recording a demo, then stop recording a demo immediately and it fixes it

why is this getting minus fragged, this is the actual fix

Do you use wireless, this happened to me a lot with wireless. Could also be a bad NIC card, router, cable, ISP, or just something making you drop packets.
