-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] why should cl_cmdrate be considered a cheat cvar or locked down????? As a player I run at an 85 cmdrate OR ELSE I GET CHOKE CONSTANTLY. Why the hell do you want to 'fix' a client side rate setting anyway?? Just because a server is hooked up to a xx MB/s line does not mean the client is as fortunate!!!
Add to that, I need to run a cl_updaterate of 15 for servers I ping over 50 for, whereas I can run this setting at 100 or even 200 on low-ping servers. Instead of suggesting locking this or locking that or messing up this rate value etc, why don't you find a config that works and on top of that stop inducing choke and loss with low rate settings on the server. All you are doing is ruining a game experience by making the game 'unfun' with skippy erratic response and it just turns people off. Until then, leave the client settings alone. We don't appreciate it. --Ozz p.s. yes I run servers too. -------------- Original message -------------- > Actually, 20 is too low for cl_cmdrate - 30 is the default setting for that. > I agree that having a usable range for that cvar is a better option.
