Rates

[lplkassm]

I am just curious about the overall rates for the NU servers.

Should I run with 30000, 100, 100? Or stay at 25000, 66, 66? I have tried both of them honestly and I do, at times, recieve a bit of choke/lag.

P.S. I also run on a wireless laptop, but my ping does not go over 80-85. The highest is 90, but that only occurs when I enter the server (usually lowers as I play).

Thanks to whomever answers my little question

Depends on what server you are in.

If the server is 66 tick, go with 25000 66 66 , if the server is 100 tick go with 30000 100 100.

dust2, office, gungame,deathmatch are all 100 tic. zm,race,and minigames are 66 tic.

So I am going to have to be switching my rates constantly in different servers? Not a problem, but thats what it seems like after looking at the server TIC rates.

P.S. The problem seems to have dissapeared from the regular office server. I am performing just fine or to the point of just managing

Thanks again DoT.

i think you can do these binds so you can change your rates on the fly...

bind "key here" "cl_cmdrate 100; cl_updaterate 100; rate 30000"
bind "key here" "cl_cmdrate 66; cl_updaterate 66; rate 30000"

if they dont work post a thread about it and ill make up an alias script to do it.

Okay I'll check that out a little later when I get on tonight.

I remember hearing something way back when, that rates automatically got set when u entered a n\u Server.
I don't know if they still do, but I do recall reading that

Nah, i think they just prevent them from going into ranges that force lag.

Note: Ping hackers (AKA Maskers) can use scripts and hacks to force their rates lower, causing lag.
