Umm.. That's what is supposed to happen. I think you tried to point out that in a gunfight everybody's rates drop below 66/s. That's not true. Also - obviously - the rate tracking system counts minimum / average / maximum over longer period. If you had tried the system you probably would have better idea what's it all about. The system can be set to kick (as I've actually done) players whose maximum rate in the past couple minutes has been less than 25/s. I recommend testing the system if you're interested about the idea.

ACE rates look at client's cl_*rate settings and kick those players who have set cl_cmdrate or cl_updaterate too low. That's stupid for two reason: 1. I can have cl_cmdrate and cl_updaterate set to 10/10, but when I join on a server where they have sv_mincmdrate and sv_minupdaterate set to 66, my game will automatically use those values. ACE rates would kick me even though I have good rates. Stupid. 2. My computer is somewhat old. It can't hold solid 66 FPS at any time. I've set my cl_cmdrate and cl_updaterate to professional 101/101 levels. Anyway, when I play, my game sends only the number of updates that my FPS is. For example if my FPS happens to drop to 40, then my cmdrate is 40 - although I have cl_cmdrate 100. ACE rates wouldn't kick me, because I've got those "good rates". Stupid. I hope you both can take a better look at the system. Thanks for the general feedback, though. It's good to have comparison to different rate forcing systems. I'll post longer reply to Crazy Canuck's message later. He got some good points which don't fit to this post ;) -- Ghost _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
