CSS Networking Settings

[Jokerz]

Below should be the settings used when playing on this server and other css sever to reduce choke and loss

Rate 30000
cl_updaterate 100
cl_cmdrate 100


to check your choke and loss type net_graph 3 in console in game

look at your choke and loss. The closer to 0 the better

if you have to type those 3 command everytime you login to a server you might want to add them to your autoexec.cfg file in your steam / css / cfg folder

[Enlightened Viet]

my rates up a lot out of nowhere. Went around 950/s in the out rate and 1.3/s in the in rate. Ping was only about 300. Should I configure my rates so this happens less?

[ashLoo]

default ftw

[Phlake]
