Everytime i try to connect to OZ latley it seems to be down

can you force some cvars for better/smoother/less warpier gameplay? (BOLDED FOR DRAMATIC EFFECT)

SUCH AS :

cl_timenudge 0 (PLEASE) !!!
cl_maxpackets 100
snaps 20
rate 25000 (maybe rate 5000-25000 cos of capped nerds, but it would be better if it was just set to 25000)
r_wolffog 0
r_drawfoliage 0

Another query… what’s the go with OZ ET PUB?

The following are already in place

r_wolffog 0
r_drawfoliage 0

However, I won’t cap packets, snaps or rate as they are client altered for optimum per each client. However I will lock timenudge as well

We are being DDOS’D again, I have been working on blocking it as much as possible, the last outing was because I blocked out… everyone by accident, the last 2 downs of the ETPUB is because no matter what I block with software on the server it won’t block. So I have gathered all the IP’s I can, and passed them onto the data center to be blocked.

I hope this sheds some more light on the issue.

SHOOT AT SOMEONE WITH 30 MAXPACKETS WHEN YOU HAVE 100

MISS MISS MISS MISS MISS MISS TING MISS MISS MISS

I dont think there is a reason to NOT to cap packets, rate and snaps other than that sometimes you have to lower rate to get into the server when you’re capped.

IMO it would make gameplay far smoother/better/fairer/etc for all!

EDIT: hence why leagues and comps cap the cvars that I recommended .

Agreed, if you’re capped or on some pov-pack net, go play sollitaire or something….

Your max packets shouldn’t really be higher then your max fps as each frame is sent per packet usually. And having 70 fps with 100 max packets isn’t that optimal for a client connection. Even if your max packets is at 100 and theirs is at 30 it really should make no difference. However having time nudge can be SOMETIMES an advantage as having a negative time nudge will predict where the player will be at that frame in time before it has received the actual frame. SO most of the time it is accurate however it can be wrong. So having negative time nudge can let you get hits before it has updated across all clients or you could be missing even if you are aiming directly at them. That’s as simple I can put it really.

Unless you have 100fps solid and 100 max packets. Having 30 Max packets and 120 FPS is probably most optimal as well as 30 snaps.

I cant’ maintain a solid 76(or even 43) FPS and im vouching for this, I mean what harm can come from capping these settings?

It would ensure much smoother/less wariper gameplay, would it not?

Forcevar doesn’t “cap” the settings it forces you to have that exact setting. And if you barely get 76 FPS, having a max packets of 100 is not going to help you cause. Perhaps try setting your com_maxfps 60 and cl_maxpackets 30, you may see better connection performance.

im not trying to help me @_@

I hear ya buddy! 😉

As to snaps , I thought competition rules does not permit higher than 20?
Restricting timenudge to a max of -10 would probably be fine imo based on whether your connection warranted it.

WUT!
People still use timenudge………..

i cant believe use are actually still allowing timenudge??? do use no what use are doing? this is a redundant cvar left over from before antilag, it is not needed, antilag does exactly what timenudge was intended to do without able to be exploited.

someone commented earlier about this cvar being banned, yes it is banned and has been for long time

Was unaware of this , thx for the education! 😉

i was shooting @ at a guy last night… im usually fairly accurate… but this 1 person i literally couldnt hit.. it seemed bullets were going right through him… thinking he was a timenudger i did a /players to find it was set to 0.

what i did see was 30 maxpackets + 40 snaps… i swear this must be a kick ass combination

30 maxpackets is also too low and should be restricted between 40 and 100, snaps at 40 will do nothing but some people claim a placebo effect.
snaps should be forced or locked (setl) at 20 as any other setting is pointless having maxpackets at 30 will give that player a laggy effect to other players on the server.( 30 is actually borderline set below 30 and you will see what i mean), 30 is too low anyway for any net connection available today so therefore

restrict.
maxpackets IN 40 100
snaps 20
timenudge = 0

and all should be fine and dandy :banana:
