General J December 11, 2004 Share General J Member December 11, 2004 Dunno if it is just my DSL being new, since SBC seems to want you to leave it on constantly for 2-3 weeks to "optimize connection." Guess they try to find the fastest gateway for you? Dunno, but I will be playing and randomly have 0 choke. Then it jumps up anywhere from 25-40, and then goes back to 0 for a few seconds. Never had this problem with my cable service at my parents house, but more importantlly, never had this problem with regular old CS. Maybe just an issue with netcode? Any ideas/comments (helpful smart ones, Goot...)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NyxErinyes December 11, 2004 Share NyxErinyes Member December 11, 2004 Try double checking your rates. CS Likes to mess mine all up now and I get that kind of choke... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupaFly December 11, 2004 Share SupaFly Member December 11, 2004 I get the same choke problems also.... and I've checked/rechecked all my rates, ect.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General J December 11, 2004 Author Share General J Member December 11, 2004 I get the same choke problems also....and I've checked/rechecked all my rates, ect.... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Same here. I have played around with my rates to no end. In old cs, I would just use 999999 and would never have choke or loss. I have tried 25000, 20000, 999999, you name it and I have probably tried it. Don't know what is going on. It's not unplayable, I just wonder if it is severly affecting my game though. Seems like I shoot someone 50 bazillion times and I die in their first 3 shots. On another note, I have tried most of the tweaks and such, and some seem to help a little bit. But not with the choke problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NyxErinyes December 11, 2004 Share NyxErinyes Member December 11, 2004 I use 9999, I found that 25000 and such (my old rates) were way too high for source for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Premier December 11, 2004 Share DJ Premier Member December 11, 2004 (edited) I recommend and use the following: rate 8000 cl_updaterate 30 cl_cmdrate 60 xgamingservers.com servers default to a rate of 8000 so you are capped there anyways, unless the bastard who is fat changed it to the maximum allowed 10000.

huhuh? December 11, 2004 Share huhuh? Member December 11, 2004 i have the same problem but i believe that it is my school connection along with source that is causing it i used to get only abot 2-5 choke with 1.6 here at school (at home i would get 0..all the time) but with source i get 30 and higher almost always Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General J December 12, 2004 Author Share General J Member December 12, 2004 Hmm, I am using SBC ( ) DSL. Will try the lower rate. I have gotten my fps up, and seem to actually be able to hit people, but choke is still killing me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urk?!? December 13, 2004 Share urk?!? Member December 13, 2004 cl_rate 20000 rate 25000 cl_cmdrate 100 cl_updaterate 100 Try that. If the server is capped, it won't matter to you. You can tweak updaterate to help reduce choke (decrease the value) cl_rate is important as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
