Hey all,
As you may have noticed the distance between your computer and the server you play on is very important for good gameplay
If you are a regular at our servers you know they are stationed in
Holland, therefor European players have quite a good Ping*
Because there are a lot of cool servers for example in the U.S.
or players from the U.S. want to play here on European servers
there's a tip to make sure you set your connection settings good for the server you play on!
To see your current connenction data, open your console when you're ingame (Your console is opened and closed with the button left to the 1, the button that is marked with ~ this sign )
Then type : /players
Now you see a list of all the players in the server and their conn data, also your own. This data consists of 3 things which you can change yourself to improve your connenction.
/rate
/cl_maxpackets
/snaps
First of all it's wise to always set your /rate settings first, so open your console and type:
/rate 25000
This is good for all servers you play on and therefor can also be set in your cfg if you like. Your snaps and maxpackets are different from wherever you play and you can best try to change it this way:
**European servers!**
1- European players type in your console:
/cl_maxpackets 40
/snaps 25
The further you live from the server the higher these numbers must be.
I'm from Holland and therefor play with
/cl_maxpackets 30
/snaps 20
2-Overseas players type in your console:
/cl_maxpackets 100
/snaps 40
**NON European servers!**
1- European players type in your console:
/cl_maxpackets 100
/snaps 40
and ofcourse if you live on the same continent as the server
you should lower your snaps and maxpackets to your wish.
So always set your
/rate 25000
and adjust your
/snaps and
/cl_maxpackets
to the server you play on!
Very easy to do and it'll make you play better and smoother!
Don't forget to check your settings one more time when you changed them, just type /players again and you can check if you adjusted your settings right.
Remember that you should not set your
/rate higher then : 25000
/snaps higher then 40
/cl_maxpackets higher then 100
Good luck!
* ping is a computer network tool used to test whether a particular host is reachable across an IP network. It works by sending ICMP “echo request” packets to the target host and listening for ICMP “echo response” replies. ping estimates the round-trip time, generally in milliseconds, and records any packet loss, and prints a statistical summary when finished.
