Thanks to everyone who joined me tonight, espeacially the demon regulars who came on at the begining (i was close to leaving as they appeared 
)
Thanks to the usuals too, Darth, Mal, 707, cheers.
Nice to see a few new faces though the server never quite filled up like last week, too bad everyone cant seem to join at the same time.
Might go back to a bookable next week, what do people think?

Stick to the preview. I scan it a couple of times a night to see if anyone is on. Unfortunetly none of us seem to ever be there :/ I will try for next Wednesday, but it's my gym day. Maybe trying another day of the week as well? Or every other day?
Infact how about tonight? 7:30pm onwards?

Goood Idea that
Maybe if everyone tried checking the server everyday at a certain time? though some people arent too willing to be the first onto a server, surely there's enough people into cs and subbed to Game that can get the ball rolling on the preview?
7:30 sounds alright to me. I'll check more often around that time, even get on for 5 if it's empty.

lol, a very odd one tonight.
7:50 I notice 13 peeps on the server, I join rather exited.
Yay Throdders and his band of Merry KEA men!
8:00 my non - subbed invites show up thanks in part to their regular servers going offline. Ta for comin fellas! and lady!
So there we were, on a full preview server!!
8:29 my non subbed invites, tired of being kicked decide to relocate and throdders takes off for a bath.
8:30 KEA is gone, there's three of us left one of which is afk.
8:50 I'm on my tod, bored of waiting around (my patience is a little thin today) I decided to leave after 10 minutes.
I might check back a little later but apologies to anyone who turns up later. I just couldn't be arsed to wait this week

I was there from 7.15 tbh
Trouble was, i had up to 10 loss running on that server, so I thought I'd check on the KEA one to see if it was the same.
No loss at all !
Hmm. I know there's a few exploits going on atm which is messing up cs for people, maybe it was a byproduct of that ...

Well , basically loss is Bad.
Your computer and the server exchange information which is broken down into managable chunks, "packets" and loss is when one or more of them chunks is not getting to the server, ie you fire you're gun , you think its hit but the information has not made it to the server, and so the hits do not register. What with the way cs is anyway, this can only be a bad thing !
Type net_graph 3 in console, and you'l see a little chart come up on the bottom right of your picture, on there is measures loss and choke.

So if you're on a server and you notice you're getting a particulary poor loss, is it the same for everyone on the server? or is it dependent on other factors like your own connection and settings? or both even :s
ta for the answer btw

really the only ppl suffering from choke/loss etc are probably downloading stuff they forgot about. Btw, I came too late, which is rare for a man; at 9:45 there was no one there, but the KEA server was great!

I know I know; do get sick of people moaning about choke and shit though, I want to say just play the game ffs and stop checking your ping every 3 seconds. Ffs me ping! Choke man, effing choke!

Agreed, but 10 loss is excessive on 56k, let alone on 512 adsl.
A bit of choke etc in firefights is hardly unusual, but loss going from 0 to 10 and back again is too much

My friend used to play with netgraph on all the time; personally I think it spoils the look of the game so never have it on, wouldn't know if my choke was zero or ten and don't really care... never have any problems, just play the game

i play with netgraph on permanently.
Choke can be excessive, but strangely enough I dont think I have ever suffered from loss.
With netgraph on, I can tweak my settings in an attempt to reduce.

I do too Lazurus. Well, actually I made a bind so it can toggle on and off.
Anyway, whilst a bit of choke is annoying but bearable, a load of loss is much worse.
If you're playing with a constant 30 choke for example , some of your bullets are going to go missing, so you can adjust settings to compensate, which is why it is useful/
If you playing with regualr loss its very hard to compensate , and more of your bullets will dissapear, so I left. There you go

Its a question of percentages Mal. Im not saying you cant play the game as it is no problem. But if you want to get the best you can it pays to be observant of these things.
What with the bizzare recoil on CS it pays to have as many bullets going where intended as possible ! Recently with my old BT-supplied modem I was getting regular spikes of 1 to 3 loss, not the end of the world but it definately effected my game.
I recently started using a netgear router (purely as a modem ) and the loss has dissapeared - except last night on BW !- and I think most people who play with me would agree my scores have gone back to where they were before.
This is really less important in DoD or other games where one bullet kills apply, but its also important in games like q3, where a high maxpackets setting (the q3 equivilent) will certainly help to a good score.
I would also add that after years of playing with configs I am currently running a 100% standard CS install, with the exception of rates, acouple of buy binds and a nicer looking AK-47 , and tbh it plays better than it did before !
