UPDATE: So the ISP guy showed up and it ended up being my internet strangely enough. He replaced the router and modem with newer models and also gave me some tips on how to make sure things stay the way they are.

I do have it turned on. Everything is fine when I'm in the servers and it doesn't indicate and drop in frames or a spike in ping. It's really weird

Well we needed the ISP to come anyway for another reason involving the connection. So worst case, the other issues that we've been having will get fixed and Valve will fix whatever it is on their end. This also affected my on Rocket league which is why I'm beginning to think that my internet could have something to do with it. Granted when I played H1Z1, I didn't see anything dropping frames

Update: Having ISP come today or Friday so hopefully they can fix the issue

I'll probably end up doing that. You wouldn't happen to have the link would you? I mean as of right now it's pretty much useless until this problem gets solved. Gotta love Steam/Valves support policy of not having a support policy that cannot be written out so as to not actually give you any assistance. To thank them, let me go ahead and dupe some items jk. I don't get how they can release an update that has the risk of rendering some peoples ability to play the game useless.

Well that's the thing. What happened was literally it would freeze and resume where it left off as if there was never a freeze. The issue is that no matter what I've done, it doesn't go away, which leads me to think this is either something on Valves end, or something involving my ISP. I hope that you're right and that an update does come out to correct this if that is the case. I've already reinstalled steam and lost my settings (not a big problem, more of a hassle tho since I had a special crosshair that I don't think I can access again). I just want to play CS:GO haha

I guess I'm also hesitant to do it because I have so many programs like OBS, Foobar and things like that which were not easy to get the way I like them and I am very noobish when it comes to backing up information like that

I've been putting it off because I accidentally turned on my external a while back, which had windows 7 on it. Since then whenever I boot up it gives me the option to run either but when I had them both on I couldn't turn on my PC. I did get a blue screen 2 times from this after researching it. I guess I'm validating what it could be but I'd also be interested in figuring out why this issue just came up out of the blue

If all of that doesn't work, do you think that reinstalling windows would really do the trick?

I actually just tried uninstalling one of the drivers and reinstalling, but the issue still persists. I don't know if I have to remove all of them and reinstall or what else I can do, but at this point, I'm really drawing a blank.

So, the other day I was playing CS:GO, when I started to experience random skipping (I'm assuming frames) which would make the game almost unplayable. The next day, the same thing happened. I tried everything from reinstalling the game, to resetting my modem and router, to uninstalling steam, yet nothing works or even helps out with the issue. Has anyone else experienced this before? I have a GTX 970 and an i7 4790k if that helps out with anything.
