I've been getting my fair share of cl_cmdrate exploiters as well, using the Mani admin plugin to check up on suspected exploiters has been a big help. I haven't seen any undue impact on server performance due to clients using a cmdrate that low... if anything, you'd think it'd actually help (client not requesting as much data from the server per tick).
Suggestion - Valve should set a minimum/maximum range on cl_cmdrate and other cvars; there's no good reason that I can think of for the client to drop their cl_cmdrate setting below default (30). Whatcha think Alfred, can Valve lock down or set a min/max range on some of these settings we're discussing here? - K2 http://www.hardfought.org -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chris K Sent: Thursday, July 21, 2005 8:22 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [hlds] rate toggle I get 'em every day with the 5 pings. I use Mani and just toggle cmdrate back to 30. I don't know about stopping people from EVER toggling, doubt you can do that. Since you brought up rates, I have been wanting to ask. Does "cl_cmdrate 0" on a client really impact server performance? I would love to hear any good arguments for or against. I cannot seem to find any good info in the forums.
