I have more problems with 1.6 that could do with sorting.
When playing 1.6, I am getting humongous ammounts of choke during firefights. This is not just confined to myself, or to my servers. Players are reporting this on lots of servers. I know that my server, server network or home connection is not to blame because for a while I was running 1.5 and 1.6 on the same box and never encountered this problem on the 1.5 server.
A player suggested lowering my cl_cmdrate and cl_updaterate to 15/15 (which is what he was using). I have done this, and this has fixed the choke. I have been informed having rates this low is called rate hacking (making it very hard for people attacking you to hit you), which explains why this individual as always been hard to hit.
First things, why is the choke so bad on 1.6? I am 99% sure it is not server or network related as the only thing that has changed between a 100% working, choke free server has been the software. Why are the 1.5 settings not working with 1.6?
What does sv_minupdaterate actually do? If people can set cl_updaterate to a lower value than this, surely this command is having no effect? Or are these not connected?
Some help/fixes would be appreciated,
Thanks,
Matt.
