To help your PING!!

Post by **R1c0** » Sat Sep 02, 2006 2:31 pm

I wanna help the people have a MODEM with 56k: (on console)

If you are with low (very low) ping, try It:
. rate 4500
. snaps 30
. com_maxFPS 125
. cl_maxPackets 30

I you are with ping good, try it:
. rate 4000
. snaps 30
. com_maxFPS 125
. cl_maxPackets 30

If you are with bad ping to play, try it:
. rate 3000
. snaps 30
. com_maxFPS 70
. cl_maxPackets 30

But, if you are with A HIGH PING, try it or go sleep :icon25::
. rate 2500
. snaps 20
. com_maxFPS 60
. cl_maxPackets 30

Thanks

never keep your snaps at 20 - use at least 30. Also keep your maxpackets at 125 unless you start lagging badly.

high maxpackets makes your ping APPEAR higher on the scoreboard, but that's just a bug.

Actually julz he's pretty spot on. 56k dosen't have the speed to pull that many packets

Not applicable to 56k at all julz.

BTW a good com_maxfps value for 56k is 55FPS. The physics are pretty good and it's at a good cap to keep your connection from being overloaded.

125 can swamp a 56k under certain conditions.

can somebody explain for me what ping is?

Post by **Foo** » Sun Sep 03, 2006 3:26 pm

delay time in milliseconds between yourself and the game server you are playing on.

my motto is always use the highest value of maxpackets possible UNLESS you start lagging badly (as i said in my original post).

Then lower it to the highest value possible.

u'll notice the lag immediately if your maxpackets are too high, since your upstream clogs up.
