Best rates for cs1.6?

This has been discussed a thousand times but may I know what rates are the best for 2022? I've searched rates online and theres like 3 different answers all the time lol

Not server rates, but player's rates.

It seems that you are posting in a wrong section, here is the sub-forum for server not for game client itself.

sorry about that I wasn't sure, do I make a new thread in General?

Re: Best rates for cs1.6?

I don't think the logic of choosing your rates has changed for over 10 years.

Re: Best rates for cs1.6?

depends on your internet connections, but for most users that have DSL or something better max rates possible should be fine, unless you have a really bad internet connection

Sorry for the very late reply got busy with life lol

Code:

Recommending cvars that don't exist is absurd (especially without explanation). Also, forcing everybody to use the highest rate for everything is not a good idea. You can't assume that everybody has a good efficient PC and a real good internet connection (most do but not all).



There are enough recent threads that can be found that explain this stuff.



I'd probably recommend a decent range with the max settings at 100% of the maximum value and then the minimum at about 80% of the maximum values.



Ultimately, nobody can tell you the "best" rates for your server and your clients. Start with a reasonable range and test it for a while. You can always change the rates a little bit and see if things improve (as long as you don't tell any of your players that you changed it so that you prevent the placebo effect).



- Those are internet related commands, nothing to do with "efficient PC" or fps.

- Its 2018, litterly everybody has good internet (specially for CS:1.6 requirements).

- Nothing happens if you play with highest rate values on CS:1.6 on a low-speed internet (i tested it my self before, on a 1-2 MB speed internet and it run smooth).

- There is absolutely no point setting a minimum value to 80%, you want players to have the maximum smoothness/lagfree experience, so it must be set to 100%.



TL;DR

I have made extensive tests my self, if you happen to have a 2018 server with 2018 internet and 2018 players, then use my values, they are the BEST and highest values you can use in CS:1.6. Or you can make the tests your self and find out you wasted many hours of your life just to realize Syturio values were right.







server.cfg

sv_maxrate 100000

sv_minrate 100000



sv_maxupdaterate 100

sv_minupdaterate 100



Slow-hack this shit into players:

cl_cmdrate 210

rate 100000

cl_updaterate 100

Would u say these are the best rates? I have avg 40 INs on net_graph 3 is that better? While others have 80-100hmm

in the end I went with this

Quote:

sv_maxrate "100000"
sv_maxupdaterate "101"
sv_minrate "70000"
sv_minupdaterate "60"
sv_lan_rate "100000"
