Cs 1.6 Ping, Rates, Frame, Lag

Serenitee

Hey, Cs Lover

Seriously I have spent many years in Cs.
I have always had a slow internet connection and slow pc so I have spent also years trying to find a perfect the play ability of the game.

Dealing With Rates:

There are 3 and the very important rates is

1) "Rate"


Rate is the transfer of bandwidth, such as the bytes per sec. you can set ranges from 2000-25,000. The higher the rates, gameplay will be smoother.
(Higher not recommend for slow connection)

2) "cl_updaterate"


The amount of updates you want the server to send you per second. This variables determines how many times you update the location of others around you. You can set ranges from 10-101. 

3) "cl_cmdrate"


Max number of command packets sent to server per second. This is also ranges from 10-101.
This variables determines how many times you update the location of yourself and the things you do within the world.

If you set high value of update rate, you will face problem of "Choke" or "ping spikes".
(Choke is quite simply the server wanting to send an update to the client, but cannot.) 
or increases ping during game.


You can use the "net_graph 1" command to observe current rates.

So my Recommended settings are given below

rate 20000
cl_cmdrate 105
cl_updaterate 100
ex_interp 0.01
========================================================================

Dealing With lag ;)

Lag:

lag is a noticeable delay between the action of players and the reaction of the server. Although lag may be caused by high latency, it may also occur due to insufficient processing power in the client. you can reduce it by following these steps

step 1)
open userconfig.cfg file.
(Located in cstrike)

Step 2)
Insert these lines,

rate 25000
fps_max 101
ex_interp 0.01
cl_updaterate 101
cl_cmdrate 101

Another bravo trick is when you are in-game press ctrl + alt + del
under processes tab 
search for hl.exe > right click on it > Set Priority > low. (yes, I said low).
