MLGsuperGame 16 Posted May 22, 2012 Alright there are a few reassons why lag occures.Server rates are bad. (servers fault)Server is on a bad machine (servers fault)Server is on a machine that is hosting to many servers. (servers fault.)To fix some lag that isn't the servers fault though is to set YOUR OWN rates. So open up console and try all 3 of these.rate 100000cl_updaterate 66cl_cmdrate 66(put those in YOUR server.cfg)EditAnother error could be a poorly coded mod that wastes CPU because it has unneeded variables, ect.Tutorial by MLGsuperGame Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KGameLover1 1306 Posted May 22, 2012 For what game?...Any Valve game? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MLGsuperGame 16 Posted May 22, 2012 (edited) Yes, any valve game.Sorry I didn't specify. Thats for valve games only. All games have rates such as COD, BF3, even games like LOL. But they are all different commands. Edited May 22, 2012 by MLGsuperGame Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drunkula 1635 Posted May 22, 2012 unless it was changed, the max value for the "rate" cvar hard coded into all source engine games is 30,000.the other rates you suggested are dependent on the rates of the server. if you joined our bhop server (and i didn't already make it forcibly change your rates) you would have a bad connection with those settings. 1 Dojima reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MLGsuperGame 16 Posted May 22, 2012 (edited) Yes, I dont think I made it clear (sorry) but those rates are to be put in your server.cfg aswell if YOUR server is having lag problems.Edit:and servers that have lag issues usually have their rates set correctly. (all that i have played in) Edited May 22, 2012 by MLGsuperGame Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dojima 7619 Posted May 26, 2012 It's best to have cl_updaterate and cl_cmdrate at 100. If the server's tickrate isn't high enough to take advantage of it, there's no harm in having them higher. The only point to lowering them would be if you don't have the bandwidth, but since everyone has broadband these days... 1 MLGsuperGame reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
