Title: Just got new modem, faster connection but a lot of choke!
Post by: stamata on June 06, 2005, 11:52:12 PM
Hey guys, well b4 I was averaging speeds of 1 mb on my dsl modem. Now I got a all in one wireless modem/router but I am not using the wireless feature yet. My speed now is about 1.5. My ping on your server when I press tab has been cut in half, b4 it was 60 to 75 and now its at 30 to 40! I was quite surprised! But my choke, which never went above 1, now sky rockets every once in awhile to 45!!! I don't think this is normal, do I have to change any settings?? my settings are at dsl greater than 256k, do I have to change that? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

everybody has to play with ther settings to see what best... mine it depends on the time of the day

but choke is mostly becuase of updaterate

so these i recomend.. you can go higher and lower just keep an eye on your graph and leave it be for a few to test it out

cl_updaterate 60
rate 25000
cl_cmdrate 65


try these.. if you get choke lower the update and the cmdrate by 5 till you get non or 0-5

Ok so I put the rates that Huddy mentioned and tried out a server and my choke went up to 4 only once  :blob:. Now this is a very noobish question: do I have to type these rates everytime I join a server or steam or does it stay at the rates until I change them again? :?
