James, I never questioned your technical expertise - nor did you mine I believe.
I'm just confirming what you saw on your scoreboard ... Is the same thing I've seen in-game myself. But I was also pointing out, which I do NOT think you realized, about the tickrate 66 ACTUALLY making the net_graph ping stable in my testing - AND it (in my testing on MY connection and server) have kept that ping right in-line with the scoreboard ping. This, you SPECIFICALLY asked about. And I will still provide proof for this but I'm sure (would hope at least) you believe me. I was not implying one way or the other that you didn't understand tickrate - but you did ask about it in a previous response which did not tell me either way whether you did or didn't. It sounds like what you're wanting is an explanation from Valve as to why these measurements (especially console 'status' ping) do not match each other - for which that I can not give you. I was only trying to confirm what you'd seen as actual fact. But I will say you did mention in an earlier response that you could hardly believe your ping was that low in actuality .. But I say to you from looking at your tracert, it is. Unless your host would allow ICMP though on that end, I could not tell you for 100% certaintity. Again, I obviously can't provide the reason as to why the console 'status' ping is out of whack .. But can provide you a way to keep your ping from net_graph in-line with your scoreboard ping - if that is what you're seeking. AND that would be assuming that this holds true on your server as well .. Since I've only noticed this in my testing. I actually disabled everything (tickrate back to 33 and srcdsfpsboost off) ... And saw the ping on net_graph fluctuate right back up to around 70-90ms (when it's normally 50-60ms steady). It amazes me how people can get so defensive on this mailing list .. And it's probably one reason I haven't bothered to respond to many questions before. Hope this has helped .. As that's all I was trying to do here. If not, good luck in your quest. Cheers.
