I dont know 2much in detail, but I noticed that some players, for example "vudi" they have a ping of 5 on the server, but if I type "status" in the console, their real ping is 75.
So they have some very strange settings to have a very low "fake ping" and it makes it very difficult to hit them ...

Hello,
What are your thoughts on Valve's recommendation of a value of 1 to prevent competitive advantages for players whose settings aren't properly adjusted?

Players should have their LERP within this range for fairness: cl_interp (0 to 0.031)

Are most players not within this range?

Forget about scripts or plugins for the problem I've been raising about on your servers for years... There's a server command for this specific issue.

`sv_competitive_minspec`, value 0 or 1.

Here's Valve's own definition for this command: Enable to force certain client variables to minimum/maximum ...

Hello,

So, how did the test go? (even though it was done on a less frequented server).

Thanks

Hello,
Just a heads-up, an inconsistency has been detected: on the "gun game only" server.

It's running at tick66, but the min/max values ​​are set to tick100.

Please double-check your server.cfg file.

Cheers!

Hello,
Glad to hear you're going to test this ;)
I bet you won't go back on your decision ^^

I just tested Office DM No Sniper and I saw this:

sv_minrate 100000
sv_maxrate 0
sv_mincmdrate 66
sv_maxcmdrate 66
sv_minupdaterate 66
sv_maxupdaterate 66

"sv_competitive_minspec" = "1" (def. "0")

I even made a dedicated SourceMod plugin for this (link valid for 30 days): https://transfert.free.fr/mt4wpja

It prompts players to add +cl_interp 0 to their CS:S launch options. This bypasses the Steam Cloud, which constantly overwrites the value back to 0.031ms (since cl_interp is a client-side ...

Hi,
Oh, but I enjoy playing. I'm just trying to share my experience as a former server admin who, even back then, was advocating on clan.calendar for netcode that kept pace with the evolution of our internet connections.

I'm just trying to point out/demonstrate that the netcode section of your ...

Playing against someone with 100ms Lerp is a nightmare for competitive players. In the community, this is often called "Interp Abusing" or "Fake Lagging." It creates a massive disconnect between what you see on your screen and where the server actually calculates the hitboxes. Here is why it's so ...

Hello,
So yes I know I'm the annoying guy bringing this up again, but I've noticed a decline in the sensation of "touch".

After many exchanges with an AI, here's some reading for an admin. It's long, I know, but informative if you want to update your knowledge of the game engine ;)
