CS: Source Help

[Daws]

I get loads of choke in cs source ... anyone know what it could be or how to fix it - or is there anywhere I can go to find out or what?

The only thing I do know is it's not my internet connection because other people on my LAN are playing it fine with very little choke.

Check your rate. Type rate in console. Its often set quite low, if you have dsl try typing rate 15000 and see how it goes.

Omg thanks so much It was set to 2500, now set it to 15000 and it's running with much less choke - many thanks

I still get lag even with the rate upped...

I have only recently started getting it. I dont know whats changed to cause this problem.

weird things happen like dead men falling out the sky!!

Anyone know how to fix this??

weird things happen like dead men falling out the sky!!

I get then whenever I join a new game, normal I think.

But I get it during game play!

It seems to be getting worse as well. everything runs fine for a while and then I get a sudden lag attack...and things I purchased at start of the round are shown to me again and a few dead bodies appear...

Its all very strange indeed

Perhaps your pc is haunted.

You get that falling thing if you've partially lost conection during a game it seems. Last night I got a bad connection to a server that was struggling, when the flush packet business had finished I was still in the game, but couldnt see my gun, and there were artifacts floating around me.
Funnily enough, I went into a room where I saw 2 sets of muzzle flashes shooting at me, but no player models , fired back at got 2 dead T's on the floor in front of me. Rah! I aer teh invincible!!!1
As far as lag goes, i get a very good connection and hardly any lag, with the use of cl_smooth 0 , the old favourite, but also by tuning the fps a bit, using vsync on (BIG difference, much smoother though at a loss of fps) and lastly, by using the dreaded, wait for it, cl_interp 0.01 ! Omgz interp get raets etc!
This command apparently is perfectly legit, and makes the game , to me, feel much more like cs, I can hit things no problem at all, and reg is fine.
Only odd thing, when Im dead it makes my scoreboard ping go down to about 5, which is a bit odd, especially as my net_graph ping remains unchanged.

I dont have connection problems as far as I can tell.

Ive used the rate command and the cl_updaterate commands as well with limited effect...

Ive used the cl_smooth 0 thing and that doesnt make much difference either.

I dont know what the vsync and cl_interp 0.01 things are but I'll give em a try.

Are there any other commands I could possibly tinker with?
