This assert is after a setsockopt() failed to turn off tcp_nodelay, but that won't be a hard failure in this case.

He surely doesn't want to loose money. 2011/7/19 px p...@i.kiev.ua Hello. From my point of view, this would be bad thing. Some time ago I've made several blind tests with my semi-pro friend, in most cases they prefer 1000 fps config, describing it as more smooth In same way I tests pingboost settings and in this case not users, nor me, find any differences on hz 1000 server Does Valve also plan to limit and eventually remove the FPS cvar from the Half-Life 1 engine?
