[Baker]

Hi, i have a broadband internet which i speed tested. i get download speed @258 kbps and an upload speed @ 378 kbps.When i play counter strike I can get 100 fps but only when no other player is around, i can get 100 if they r on, but when i move it drops, and in certain parts of the maps it drop drasticall.y, i would say my avg is 40-60 fps. How do i increase my FPS rate and reduce choking! please help.

Configure the following in console:

cl_updaterate 101
101 is the max you should set it and if you have choke you always lower it untill you get choke. So if you were getting like 20 choke lower the updatrate by typeing cl_updaterate 70. See if you still have choke after about 20 seconds. If you do lower it some more.

cl_cmdrate 50
This setting is supposed to be around your average fps. So if you average around 40-50 put it at 50. If your getting a consant 100 in the server your in put it 101.

FPS Note: If you have your fps set to fps_max 101 and your fps goes down to like 40-50 and keeps moving around drastically set it to fps_max 75. Keep lowing the setting bit by bit untill it reamians pretty constant.

Also try this :

rate 20000
the rate setting is debated alot but if you want max preformance use 20000.

Use OpenGL instead of software, D3D would be fine!

Other tips use 16 bit color. Use worst looking smole grenades. Um.. if i think of anything ealse i post it. Oh go to your cstrike folder and delete your custom.hpk file every month.
