After the update my kpd has plummetted and I was wondering if some of the settings could do with tweaking. I am getting a lag spike most rounds and reg does appear worse than usual.
I have:
cl_interp = 0.045 cl_cmdrate = 66 cl_updaterate = 66I have turned off HDR and turned every graphic setting down.
Are there better settings that I could use, for general play on a very active server (20-50 players)?
Seeing as no-one has answered this question so far, I'll try.
First of all, I wouldn't suggest meddling with cvars to alleviate lag. Valve has worked pretty hard on their networking code, and changing their defaults will usually only make the problem worse.
Do you have ping lag or graphics lag? If it's the former first eliminate all the primary suspects, someone using the connection, or just try a server closer to you.
If it's graphics lag you might want to try getting a better computer if you have such lag with every setting on low.
After the latest update, cmd and update are locked, so you can leave them alone. However, you should change the following settings to these values:
cl_interp 0.0
cl_interp_ratio 1
Also, when you you use net_graph 1 and you see your lerp flickering in color, it means the server is rather crappy. It should stay one solid color. If it's flickering, don't blame your config, blame the server. :D
If you still need any help, you can add me on Steam: harrie_aardappel
Another tip: Never think hit registration will be good on a server with more than 20 players on it. The more players there are on a server, the crappier it will get.
