Tweaking source for gameplay/fps

[Decoy]

Now I can PWN just like you!

[urk?!?]

For clarification, that's my AUTOEXEC.CFG

 

My config has all the default variables in it for the most part.

[simkiller]

I'm not sure what verticle sync does but I've always been told to disable it. So I always did. I was getting lines on my screen especially when I would look up or down kinda fast so I turned verticle sync on and POOF their gone! So anyone else out there having the same problem might wanna try it.

[VooDooPC]

verticle sync sync's your FPS with your refresh rate. It generaly lowers your FPS but it does stop tearing(lines across screen when looking around fast).

[strangefamous]

I tried some of these but I ended up going back to the default settings. I have no fps problems and am pretty happy with everything but the apparent hitbox issues.

HELP!!

I used some of the tweaks and others I was told as well. Screwed everything up.

I replaced my original config.cfg, but things are still messed up

Game always starts back at 1024x768

Choke is into low 100's

Text on crosshair (Friend/enemy) is HUGE

 

How can I get back to standard and work from there again? I had thought that putting orig config.cfg in there would fix it back but it hasnt

 

ANY advice?

 

Thx

I put those tweaks in my autoexec.cfg not the config.cfg file.. I think that's where they are supposed to go.. hmm.. I dunno what's causing all of that.. =/

EDIT: ok, I forgot I had the -dx in the properties. Removed that and text is normal and Res doesnt keep resetting to 1024. So, I think I am pretty much back to where I started from.... Choking at 50-100+ on dust 2

Ping in 40-50 range. Loss is 0. I have no idea what is causing it. But I did a lot of checking/watching last couple days and a lot of my hits arent registering anymore, thats why I originally started this.

Thx again for any help you can give me with the hits and choke

Edited February 6, 2005 by Lazerus

[Clueless]

Some of your settings are too high, which can also cause choke, I played with those alot and what I use now works best for me, my choke rarely goes above 8 - 10.

rate 9999

cl_cmdrate 35

cl_updaterate 40

cl_cmdbackup 2

cl_smooth 0

[Guest Lazerus]

Im thinking you looked at the end of the post where I put up the original autoexec I took stuff from. In my actual config, all of my settings are lower than what you jsut posted.

 

cl_cmdrate 30

cl_cmdbackup 2

cl_updaterate 20

 

I have nothing in that config about cl_smooth or rate

 

Should I add them? Could rate still be stuck at 25000 because it doesnt seem to be changed back in my config?

 

Thx!!!!

[Clueless]

ahhh, i see now, well too low can give you choke also, so maybe try the numbers i posted and see how they work for ya. I also cap my fps at 65 which helped alot too. That command is fps_max 65.

[((Shockwave))]

What is 'choke' exactly?

[Clueless]

Its like trying to stuff a quart of crap in a pint jar

How can you tell if your getting choke? what numbers do you have to look at?

Edited February 6, 2005 by ((Shockwave))

[Clueless]

in console type, net_graph 3

 

it will give you fps, choke, and some other stuff

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

what's a good number for choke to be at?

[Clueless]

less than 10

[Guest Lazerus]

Thx for all the help...kept experimenting today until I finally got it right

 

large letters werer because I still had the -dx81 thing in there..reset to 9.0 and deleted it

No matter what I set cmdrate and updaterate to, I couldnt get below 50, and soemtimes saw players skip a full second ahead even with good fps

 

Also at some point I must have set rate to 5000. I had assumed that running a config with NO change in it would reset it to normal. Appparantly not so.

 

Currently I am at

cl_cmdrate 25

cl_cmdbackup 2

cl_updaterate 30

rate 9000

 

didnt get over 10 on choke as soon as I typed rate "9000" into console as a last ditch effort. I guess that when I tried that rate before something else was messed up so it didnt work, and I assumed it was the rate.

 

BTW... does CSS use the available memory I have, or is there a variable I need to raises like "hunkmegs" or something?

 

Thx again!!

[Ice_Berge_00]

If you're on a dSL or cable or better, set your rate to be above 25000.

 

ALso set your cl_rate to at least 10000.

 

You'll get a horrible connection is your rate is under that amount.

[simkiller]

Here is my autoexec.cfg

 

 

bind "6" "buy vesthelm; buy vest;"

bind "0" "buy deagle; buy secammo;"

bind "7" "buy galil; buy famas; buy primammo;"

bind "8" "buy m4a1; buy ak47; buy primammo;"

bind "[" "buy hegrenade;"

bind "]" "buy flashbang;"

bind "-" "buy defuser;"

bind "9" "buy aug; buy sg552; buy primammo; buy primammo;"

bind "=" "buy scout; buy primammo;"

bind "\" "buy awp; buy primammo;"

cl_cmdrate "50"

cl_updaterate "50"

cl_smooth "0"

cl_interp "0.1"

cl_interpolate "1"

fps_max "75"

cl_lagcomp_errorcheck "1"

cl_show_bloodspray "1"

cl_smooth "0"

 

Not much to it but it seems to be working for me at the time being. The reason my cmdrate and update rate aren't at 100 is because I read somewhere if you were experiencing choke to lower this. I was so I tried lowering it and it seemed to help.

[Clueless]

Yeah, when i set them up to 100, my choke went into the 30's and sometimes 40's, now i'm down to 65 on both, i'll lower them to 50 like yours and see what happens.

 

Thanks man

[[LaW]Maverick]

Is anyone else getting mad Choke on our servers? I mean...I'm alright on other servers, but in the good ol' gc servers, my choke goes through the roof!

 

I was just wondering if anyone else had this same problem

[strangefamous]

Since train and compound hurt my fps so much I created a fps.cfg

 

cl_phys_props_enable 0

cl_phys_props_max 0

cl_ragdoll_physics_enable 0

cl_show_splashes 0

fog_enable 0

fog_enable_water_fog 0

mat_bloom 0

mat_bumpmap 0

mat_clipz 0

mat_fastnobump 1

mat_fastspecular 1

mat_mipmaptextures 0

mat_specular 0

mp_decals 100

r_avglight 0

r_decal_cullsize 1

r_decals 0

r_eyeglintlodpixels 0

r_eyegloss 0

r_eyemove 0

r_eyeshift_x 0

r_eyeshift_y 0

r_eyeshift_z 0

r_eyesize 0

r_lod -1

r_propsmaxdist 1000

r_rainradius 0

r_rainsimulate 0

r_rainsplashpercentage 0

r_rootlod 2

 

 

 

 

This has increased my fps by 20fps were in train outside I held a 27fps I know hold constant close to 50 without losing too much quality.
