Mullet, If I wasn't a genious I would flame you for not knowing that you can't flick a switch and make DSL into cable.....
However b/c I am a genious (well duh!) I know that you are talking about the 'connection speed' box for Steam games (much as HL had)
If you could tell us what happens when you try to change the setting we might be able to help you better <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
EDIT:
Ok so I lied, I am dumb as a brick (And any one who believed I was a genious should be mocked)
ummm, steam dosn't have that feature anymore.....
However all you have to do is play with rate and stuff...
unless Rate was actualy locked at 9999 (don't remember)

lol i'm not that stupid.
I didn't explain enough....Okay....When I start up steam and look at the internet connection setting, it's at DSL. I set it to 28k (im 56k). Then I join a game and my ping is a constant 3,000. I look at my rate and it's at 7500, so I set it to 2500 and I reset all my cl_cmdrates and cl_update rates. I still lag so then I have to reconnect, but when I get back in the server the settings are back.
So basically, it's like no matter what I put my internet settings on, it always goes back to DSL or greater....I can't play any games because of it <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->
I try getting help from steam, and those lazy **** dont do ****....So, does anyone have any idea what I can do?
/edit
Oh yeah, it just started happening too....I've been playing fine for about a month.
Silly Mullet
It's the same thing with autoexec.cfg, you make your userconfig.cfg (with Notepad, if that helps)
And be sure to set your rate to 20000, and try again.
But....this seems strangely similar to the lag spikes I'm having....hmmmm....
Who told you that? Thats a load of bull.
I don't remember if it was unlocked or no (this was also there to prevent people from 'rating')
The rate command wasn't though.
Userconfig attached if you cba doing it yourself.
It's got the rate 2500 like you wanted (Try anything between 2500 and 5000 for a 56k)
I also set cl_download_ingame to 0 too, just delete it or set it to 1 if you want to see custom sprays. It can save alot of grief in the open stages of a game though.
Should work fine.
yah, everyone who uses steam seams to be defensive about it and calls anyone who cant get it working a whining B**ch or a complete idiot. Me for example, i went on the forums and said that when i tried to install it i got an error (error: file expected size 39457 total size 0498754987) and than it would freeze. Everyone bitched at me for trying to make steam look bad....
bah
=) i got it working now though, i just used a cs steam version not full steam install... (i wasnt the only person having this problem it seemed cuz other said that theres works now)
