I'm believing it's an issue related to something the clients have set OR some network hiccup between them and server.

And are you guys saying change the server max_rate to 5000? Or tell the client to? And I found an issue. Every Since Valve released this new cvar. > sv_client_cmdrate_difference 10 For some reason i have though this was related to all rate settings. I have been telling people it doesn't matter what you have your rates set for because the server would temporarily adjust them to meet minimum server side settings. I think i may have been wrong here. That cvar only affects cmdrate.. Right? the client CAN adjust there rate and update_rate independent to what the server has set. Being they are within the minimum/maximum. Is this correct? ------------------------------------------- > Tell them to set their rates properly, depending on which game the default rate is 10000-25000 and at 66 tick that isnt always enough, anyone that complains about that I tell them to put rate 50000 and that usually smooths it out, you can do this for people using cvars. ---------------------------------------- Christopher M.
