cl_packetRate

I honestly think its a load of bullshit. If you want better performance, you need 1. A new machine. 2. New Internet. I'm certain that the performance change (for modding packetrate) is .1% to 0% that you will notice. It's probably not good to fuck around with shit that works.....

Since the Web definitions for packet rate is...
The number of data packets processed per second by a server.

It's really up in there air about how it should be set at. You would think it's a small problem but its not. By changing the packetrate to what Cad' wants you are only helping cad (and any one else with a shitty internet/LINUX) By lowering it the game server is processing less packets. which really should make everything worse for everybody else. By raising it the server should run even better, Im sure there is a limit on the server though where it server starts to become over loaded.

Packet loss: Packet loss occurs when one or more packets of data traveling across a computer network fail to reach their destination. Packet loss is distinguished as one of the three main error types encountered in digital communications; the other two being bit error and spurious packets caused due to noise.

It sounds like Cad has packet loss and thats why changing the packet rate for him effects him.

Cad, I would be interested in seeing your Speed Test Results.

ALSO: Spam might not be the best place for this forum, Maybe we should open a Tech. Section.

Wow, that was perhaps Holy's only post that was of any real value, and judging by the proper grammar and punctuation, I think more than 5 minutes may have been spent - and that goes for CoP and OSF forums.

Bravo

Remember my MRE post?

No offense Holy. but many things in that post were pretty damn wrong...

My machine can handle Crysis Warhead on half-low half-medium settings at 60 FPS, and my internet is good enough to give me a ping under 50 on nearby servers. The problem is I'm connecting to Amsterdam from the west coast, something no one else in the clan is doing besides Toga. If I run into an enemy head on around a corner or through a door, I will lose unless he can't aim and/or fired 1+ second(s) after he saw me. Also also, in every game I play online, setting the packet rate to 66 removes any delay there might be, and yes, those servers are meant for that. In fact, Crysis is the only game where players aren't forced by most servers to set their rates to different numbers, because a packet rate of 30 (the default for most games) is actually not the correct setting for any type of internet most people use.

If you were ever listening to the stuff that nobody cares about, you would've saved yourself from saying something so false, Holy. Evil has change the server's tolerance. The server will be the same, all that's different now is what the client can do. It won't affect you unless you change your own packet rate. Also, I started dual-booting with Windows months ago because Linux wouldn't run any games that worked fine on my last Linux machine, and I upgraded to cable a long time ago.

Don't worry dude, I've already looked into my packet loss, and it's not any different from anyone else's.

I put this in SPAM because I was expecting Evil to say "Thanks for that Cad, but nobody cares" again.

No Offense Cad, but....

Oh by the way I'm not worried about you and I never will be. and you can suck my 15-30 FPS low settings dick. I don't whine about that do I?..hmm Maybe just maybe you suck? Can't you just accept that and move on? To help your ping, move to Amsterdam! Hopefully they won't see you as a pre-emptive strike against them. I'm fucking tired of hearing you whine about your ping. I tried to make an informative post and that's the thanks I get? well fuck you (Refer to above picture). Also when I said this shouldn't be in spam and maybe it should be in a tech section I wasn't talking to you. Don't reply with a "Oh Holy that hurts" post and a "People bully me at school" post cause I'll chop your empty nut sack off.

The End,
Love,
Holy Fucking Diver

And to think the thread's title is cl_packetrate

Yeah it should be renamed to "BattleOfTheKids: Who will be the main kid cat?"

.....I'm sorry but did i hear somebody say Kit-kat

Quote from "NecessaryEvil @ Wed Oct 28

I don't understand Hedero's post. kid cat? what? I'm so lost.

In order to maintain consistency, I should flame you now, but I don't have the energy.

In the future you should review previous posts before attributing Wardy's ramblings to me...
I was merely repackaging them in the form of a thread title.
