Ping Issue

ChaosKidChaosKid Join Date: 2005-05-12 Member: 51468Members
<div class="IPBDescription">Help me ASAP</div> Im not from the UK but i only play uk servers (wireplay, evil clan etc.)

Usually my ping is arround 100-150 or less but in the past few days my ping is higher than ever and i cant find a server that my ping is less than 200 there.

Im pretty sure its because of some changes i made in cl_cmdrate, cl_updaterate and rate.

can someone please tell me all the necessary commands to "fix" my ping issue?

my internet connection is ADSL, 1.5 mbps

help me as soon as you see this please.

my msn messenger is chaoskid_rules@hotmail.com in case you need to help me personally or something, just help me =[

    rate 25000
    cl_cmdrate 50
    cl_updaterate 50
    that is what i use, i have a 2mbit line.

    also for non-game problems. use:

    ad-aware
    netlimiter
    spybot s/d
    antivirus (look for antivir if you need a free one)

    cl_cmdrate 40
    cl_updaterate 30
    rate 9999
    ex_interp 0.0333

    These are a good starting point for any connection to any server, think about increasing cmdrate if you've got a good up speed on your connection.

    Please dont give people these settings unless you include your ex_interp and ex_entrapmax. Otherwise it will just screw them.

    Yes, I can see you read that thoroughly. I also use these settings with the default ex_extrapmax and get the most stable connection I've ever had.

    wen i use ex_interp 0.0333 i have some choque
    why?
  • MintmanMintman Join Date: 2003-05-30 Member: 16866Members
    interp is nothing to do with choke.
  • NoWaRNoWaR Join Date: 2003-11-13 Member: 22793Members, Constellation
    well is not choque but everithing warp
  • MintmanMintman Join Date: 2003-05-30 Member: 16866Members
    Did you change all the other values aswell?
  • NoWaRNoWaR Join Date: 2003-11-13 Member: 22793Members, Constellation
    yes and still warping. it can be produced by my spanish connection (512/128)
  • MintmanMintman Join Date: 2003-05-30 Member: 16866Members
    Maybe it is because of the distance you are connecting from. These work fine on any broadband connection (even my 300k) for UK servers (I'm in the UK). Maybe you need slightly lower values as you will get a higher ping.

    rate value should be ok at 9999, however cl_cmdrate and cl_updaterate may need to be lowered. However, only you can test to find out which values work best!

    ex_interp should be set to 1/cl_updaterate.
