Lagging Problem

Haze

<div class="IPBDescription">How come?</div> How come when action starts up on the screen, be it shooting, or anything is dropped, hell any simple action will send my ping FLYING. I've typed "rate 9999999999" into the console and it still happens.

Any ideas?

Because you're attempting to play on a server located in a shack in tibet that uses morse code as it's internet protocol.

You forgot the carrier pigeons to transport the packets.

Could be your FPS causing the lag. Or it could be the server.

try cl_showfps 1 and see if your Ping goes up or FPS goes down first.

Guys stay on topic please..

My connection is cable, runs <i>extremely smooth</i> in everything else, cant snap your fingers before a page is up either. FPS wont be decreasing because I havent changed my computer since I last played NS.. a lot of months ago. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

My ping goes up when a lot of activity is happening on screen. Thats all I know, there is a problem with transmitting data or something I'm guessing that a simple command in the console will solve, but I'm trying to find that command.

Is it possible that my rate is <i>too high?</i>

Why don't you try using default values for everything?

What are your cmdrate and updaterate set to?

No.

On a cable connection (1.5mbits/s and up), the rate can be as high as you want and it shouldn't be a problem. Once your rate goes above a certain level, it is capped by the rate settings and upload speed of the server.

Like Dragonmech said, it could be your cl_cmdrate and cl_updaterate, but I don't think it's your rate command.

I'm pretty sure they use swallows these days. But are they european or african swallows?

How high can they be set?

DragonMech

I'm not sure. However, you can try this script that cycles between three settings and see what works best for you.

And where do I put this at? Err.. how to install it?

[/computernub]

DragonMech

Add it to your config.cfg file. Then, in your game all you need to do is hit 'h'. The computer will then set the variables to the low setting - play around with it from there.

Trying now..

Doesnt work in game I take it?

Haze

Nope still lags.. it works in game though. ^^;

Haze. Its actualy realy simple to fix
Goto into Steam.
Click Settings
Then somewhere under setting you choose your connection.
It defaults to 28.8
Choose T1
click apply, and okay
say goodbye to problem

(used to get the same problem.)

Haze

Hey thanks dude works now. ^^;

Is there a way to turn off the damn mp3's though? I'd much rather listen to the WoW soundtrack than whats playing at the moment..

Drummer

cl_musicenabled 0

type that in the console

Huze

I've been having this same problem, I just checked, it was on 28.8k, so I guess this should fix it, thanks a bunch Gecko God Of Dooom.
