maxpackets whine, returned

QuoteRate is now forced to 25000
Maxpackets are forced to 100


Newsflash: Crossfire Nationscups forces everyone to 62.5 maxpackets. Everybody lags. The end.

THIS SHOULD NOT BE DONE BECAUSE ET DOES NOT HAVE 125 MAXPACKETS.


edit: If you want to be unhittable in the nationscup, use /com_maxfps 111 and thus play with 56 maxpackets.




Option 1)

Limit Maxfps to 100, Maxpackets 100.

Option 2)

Remove the maxpacket limit.

I dont see any difference when playing against rate15000 packets40 OR rate25000 packets100 -guys. :/
because 62.5 maxpackets vs 40 maxpackets is not a very big difference
Parent
i do see differences if they got rate less than 2000 or if they play with 76 maxpackets.
Parent
imagination :P
Parent
i would really want to play against 100 100 players, would be awesome seeing them suck
Do you, in all honesty believe that someone's increases massively simply by lowering his maxpackets? I use 100 myself, but I doubt I'd become highskilled by lowering them.
Parent
60 to 100 is a big difference
Parent
And you honestly believe you can handle much better players if you have 60 maxpackets than if you had 100?
Parent
they have it on 60 for a reason dont they?
Parent
i have it on 76 for no special reason either, i could easily put it on 100 since i'm not using any lagscripts or anything. but it's funny to see people whining about maxpackets =! 100 sometimes.

and like meez already explained, packets are fps-dependent, so this will change shit and is random whine, nothing else.
Parent
ye ofc there are reasons to play with lower maxpackets. back when i still had 1mbit connection my ping went up to 400 when i spoke on vent so i had to put my maxpackets to 80 cuz then it only went to like 70-100

*edit* if you rly have the feeling players who use lower netsettings are less hitable, you maybe should put cg_imagination to 0
Parent
I play with it and I am simply the most gifted player in ET.
Parent
damn straight you are!
Parent
just wait untill I put mine to 40 :LOS
Parent
this is completely ridiculous anyway.
95% of the maxpackets-whine is completely retarded and doesn't change shit, this will only make some whiners happy, nothing else.
as if this will make laggers like bozar stop lagging! (or straf, but he's allowed to lag <3)
who cares about the opinion of an ex-cheater anyway?
just highsens
Parent
I thought it was your roommate? YOU LIED TO ME
Parent
I wasn't in my room at the time.
ooo sheeeeet i didnt know about all that
It's just in your head retard.
i think you are trolling. but I'll bite

56 maxpackets makes you less hittable than 100 maxpackets. Fact.
Parent
Proof? Source?
Parent
math and logic?

if your position updates 100 times a second as opposed to 56 times a second, you will be more accurately represented to your opponents.
Parent
sv_fps 20? what's the maths and logic now?
Parent
Do you not remember playing ET in 2003 when everyone had 15 maxpackets, 7000 rate and 36926283728 snaps?

I'm not sure what you are arguing for or against.
Parent
You avoided my question.

More packets (more than 20) won't make you any more accurate for other players, since the server only renders 20 snapshots. The one sending more packets will benefit because he will have less lag.
Parent
then why were the 15 maxpackets players always harder to hit?

(and yes, I checked b_placebo)
Parent
Last time I checked 15 wasn't bigger than 20. ;)
Parent
But if you have lower maxpackets, it is harder to hit the opponent right?
Afaik low maxpackets don't make you less hitable. ET hitboxes are just bugged..
<< 100 fps, 100 maxpackets, 25000 rate = best ;)
all lowtards whining about maxpackets, just aim at the guy and not a feet away from him
who the fuck r u?
Parent
dont know dont care they are all unhittable for me =)
is it difficult to add 125 mp into i et, like in q3?
I get 20-60 \o/
im from israel and even i prefer packets 100 =(
ET is not smooth with 100fps :-(
pfff I went from 100fps/100hz (ultrasmooth for me) to 71fps/142hz because of stabler fps and even this feels really good :P
Parent
100hz 100fps gives you massive tearing

I've played 125fps most of the times, switched to 100/100 settings about 2 years ago since everyone was claiming it's so much better etc. Switched back to 125fps/120hz 3-4 months later and will never get back to anything lower than that. :Z
Parent
I m not agree, 100hz & 100fps swapinter 1 is better than 120 hz and 125fps coz on ur setting u cant active swapinterval.
With the swapinter (syncro vertical) is the best smooth u can have, so go to 125hz or 120 fps no ?


and triple tampon on nvidia panel.
Parent
swapinterval = latency = bad, unless you got a tft.
otherwise to prevent tearing 120hz/100fps, been using it for ages myself and it's the best i used thus far.
Parent
i have a CRT, and swapintervan = syncro vertical dunno why ur are speak about lantecy, the have have to be egal at the fps or multiple

like 100fps 100hze
71fps 142hz etc ...
Parent
swapinterval = vsync = added latency, check it up :-)
Parent
i really wonder why those ppl decide about limits who dont know SHIT about how things work
