-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Here is the things that I don't understand The Server can be a 33 or 66 tickrate server. Both with default sv_maxupdaterates My clients rates are 20000/100/100 Yes Im aware of the fudge you can do by lowering your rates to give you a very low ping, but in the case I presented initially I am not doing anything to manipulate them from my normal game play.
