I was playing on MOHAA. when some plonker said that if I typed snaps 0 in console my ping would be better. Of course i fell for it, and it did the opposite and it got really laggy. I then went out of the game and got the 'blue screen' i restarted the PC and I went back into MOHAA and I got the same problem. i then uninstalled it due to fears of a virus. i haven't installed it yet. Has anyone else had this problem?

PS: I was playing multiplayer.

I used to do that a lot on Starcraft.

Alt+Tab was the funniest, because it kept them in the game, but most PCs (back then) took about 15-30 seconds to get Broodwar back in the foreground again. During which time you could turn a game around.

Heh, I was on Tribes yesterday, and my good friend Tasty said 'How do you drop your pack', of course before I could remember how you do it, someone had said 'Control + K'. The next line in the box read: 'Tasty decides to end it all. Cue violin music'. Ah the hilarity.

Chances are, if you typed snaps 1 back into the console it'd go back to how it was.

Don't worry, there's no virus there.
