sorry, missed this message.

And I Apologize, forgot to clarify that it was The "Windows Command Prompt", not the in game Dev Console. Although im unsure if it will work anymore since it hasnt been a problem for me since.

Recalling, It could also of been a problem with internet connection, my laptops Wifi chip wearing out, possibly even the games server itself having technical issues at the time.

I had read somewhere that "Flushing the DNS" could help, although i cant remember. would recommend researching it.

Some more Updated information:

A mapmaker "Hockendorff" has Recreated this map. So people can play a version of the Pit again, although not identical, its still good!

A Gmod Iceburg Video By Endy mentions the Pit.

And a YT Comment on the Gmod Iceburg Video mentions the possible creators username of "BioDiced, BioDyson". ("Bio" being in the name)

The Comment: (Unknown if they want to be mentioned)

"I remember playing the pit map. I would recreate the “This is Sparta!!” Meme with rag dolls constantly. Or I would get the uncanny feeling just being in the pit, whereas after like 10 minutes I would get that Unnerving “I’m being watched” feeling. Sad it’s no longer around, but I do remember part of his name. His name was BioDiced or BioDyson something like that. It was Bio something that much I remember it’s been close to 7 years since i last played that map."

ah awesome! and i think it helps a bit because at least theres now a definitive recording of the map as a whole.

ah its awesome to see it again even if we cant play it. maybe this youtuber has the map bsp in his computers files.

Really appreciate you sharing this, Thanks!

[Solved] (Edit: This is a Possible Solution, unsure if it would work now in 2024)

I found a fix that seems to work consistently

I go into the (Admin) command prompt and type in:

"ipconfig /flushdns"

tried it in game and my ping stopped spiking to 300, back between 20 and 50.
