What they are saying, is that your "latency" might be high because of the choke you are recieving due to incorrect rate settings. net_graph 4 tells "real" ping, one hopes.
Why rate is still default 10k is beyond me, when TF2 is pretty much unplayable below 45k on small servers and 60-100k on 24-32 player servers. This also eats insane amounts of bandwidth, something that needs to be taken into account. sv_minrate 40000 should be default in the tf2 server config, really, to give people a sane default. Perhaps a comment that it is sufficent for UP TO 20 players, but should be increased beyond. -TheG On Fri, Aug 19, 2011 at 7:26 AM, ics <i...@ics-base.net> wrote: > Having rate 60000 helps a lot.
