Rates

Smithy

<div class="IPBDescription">Any suggestions?</div> I have recently got ADSL 512K connection and I wanted to know what rates I should be setting?

I used the default "updaterate" and "cmdrate" but have changed the "rate" to 7500.

I get no loss and no choke but the updaterate and cmdrate seem very low, 20 and 30.

If anyone has found a stable rate for them and wouldnt mind sharing it Id love to know, thanks.

I wouldn't change your rates in console, I have tried that a lot, trying to get the perfect rate and such, but find that it is much easier to set it at default, like whatever it says in the dropdown at internet games. When you install ns, there should be a menu which asks you what type of connection you have and is a lot more specific than the one in HL.

But really, it varies for everyone, varies on each server, and is a mighty pain in the arse.

rate: 7500-12000

cl_updaterate: 70-100 (keep raising it till its unplayable, then use the next playable setting, theres no real set updaterate..you hafta play with it. In fuller games, you may hafta lower it.)

cl_cmdrate: your overall fps. If you can pull 100 fps ALL the time then set this to 101. But if overall you mostly get say... 70 fps (that includes battles) then yea, set to 70.

fps_max: your maximum fps. Again, if you can pull 100 fps then set this to 101

cl_resend: 4-6

cl_cmdbackup: 3-7

cl_lc: the lag compression that allows higher pingers to appear (client side) that its playing like a lan. Some players on a good connection like to turn this off. Its suggested that you only use "0" on lan though. You can play with it if you want, the default is 1.

cl_lb: client side blood. Suggested that you turn this off whenever you play a game with any random kick to the weapons. It can throw you off with it on, showing you hits that arent true. Default is 1.

Dont go posting total salami hear (nonsens), cl_cmdrate has absolutely 100% NOTHING to do with your fps... You can have it as low as 1 and still have 100 fps... Usually I have it 40-50, with 100 fps non-stop... Cough, cough <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

I didnt mean it in that way. I told em those settings because those are better because of the netcode. The better you can make the server see what you see, the more shots will register. Dont want to guy getting mad thinking the mod wont work cause he cant hit anything and then thinking i gave him bogus info.

Here Ill post the article that relates to what im talking about. *edit* Geekboys is down .. nvm Ill post it later if its up again.
