Lag or something else?

Once in a while I try to play CS:GO. But when I enter a game nothing happens. The map loads I join a team but then I can't move, if I do move its very jumpy. Is it lag or something else?
 
You can enable ping and FPS by opening the console (~) and typing "net_graph 1". Should be able to see if your ping spikes.

There can be a lot of factors in my humble experience - My Internet connection used to be just fine but playing BF4 just totally sucked. Replaced the graphics card and all was well. Also had sudden major FPS drops in-game this one time. Pretty much felt like terrible lag. It turned out that my hdd went crazy - something constantly writing to it when I try to play that particular game - cannot remember what the cause was - but once that was sorted things went great.

*Sigh* the distant memories of good online gaming times when I still had descent Internet connection.
 
SO I was actually able to play yesterday. Ping was 75ms. I don't know what changed.
 
The servers you join to can also make a difference.
There a couple of BF4 I don't play on cause they suck.
In CS:GO my ping will sit at a constant level and net graph shows no packet loss but the game is lags so badly.

Also had a problem where my 4mb line was syncing to 2mb but after phoning Telkom they would reset my port and for a day or to my ping would be half of what it normally is, like 36 or so.

With net_graph check your svar (server variance).despite high fps and low ping/ zero packet loss,i sometimes get high svar and is really shit. There a few crappy csgo servers in SA, especially when they're fairly full. then they like to pull that crap.

Thanks I didn't know that. When I notice the servers lagging I make sure to report the servers.
