Latency problem - CS 1.6 vs. CZ

Hey guys, I'm posting this because hopefully someone will have met a similar issue and been able to counter it.

I have installed my old copy of Counter-Strike Anthology (CS 1.6, CZ, and CZ S) on my MSI e7405, and have been noticing one major issue: Condition Zero, my copy of Team Fortress 2, the Medal of Honor Beta, and all other online multiplayer games have been running with excellent latency scores (typically between 10-50ms) on a VERY high speed university connection, but whenever I load up CS 1.6, I cannot find a single server below about 175, often much more. This renders the game completely unplayable... I have looked around through Steam Support and not found anything helpful, and as far as I know, this game hasn't seen an update in quite some time (possibly since I last played perfectly fine on a different system a couple years ago).

All of my other games are fine, what gives?

 

It's possible that it's due to the servers that you connected to or there are some ports that the university connection blocked for CS 1.6 which affects your online performance ._.

 

It really isn't a matter of connecting to bad servers, it's the overall server list of every available game that demonstrated ridiculous latency across the board. The university blocking some CS ports I could understand, but it's strange considering they are generally very supportive of those looking to set up online gaming, and as said, all of my other Steam games (and Playstation 3 titles) run very very well.

 

You could always try the Leatrix Latency Fix

I've yet to hear anyone have a negative result from the change, and it does seem to lower people's latency #'s. The jury is still out on whether it improves your performance or it's just a placebo.
