Counter strike lags piss me off....

manisare · July 8th, 2007

Okay i quit cs for about a year because i was lagging... A year later i installed cs again hoping it wont lag..... I do not know whats going in the past few years i never lagged... My cs rates are 2500, cl update rate 100, cl cmdrate 100... I live in Canada and i am currently use shaw internet extreme package... I did a speed test from vancouver to vancouver and i got around 2000-3000 kps but i usually get 9000kps.. People say that Shaw is a community internet shairng thing....I pay like 40 bucks for it.. shoudl i consider moving to another company... Note* Sometimes when its late like 2 am or so the internet runs quite fast but wtf..... i thought it suppose to work everyday...

CS LAg has more to do with latency(ping). Good latency is about 75 tops...

That's your problem. In 1.6 the dev console is on be default, but in source its off. If this is source, go to Options > Keyboard > Advanced and turn on the developers console. Anyways, in game hit the tilda (~) key to bring up the console and type "rate 30000"and see if it helps. Anything below 10000 is way too low, 30000 would be good for your connection. If not, try just 20000. If it does not help, then we need more info. What OS are you using, networking hardware and is it 1.6 or Source?

Isn't your rate at 2500? That's incredibly low, just type "rate 30000" in console and see if it helps.

OS = Operating system

Vancouver's on the west coast so try connecting to a Cali server or any other good US-West server. And make sure you select a low-ping server to connect to in the first place, connecting to a random server in the Steam browser isn't going to help.

CS never had a decent netcode thats the biggest problem of that engine since the beginning. The only thing you can really do is like said above, trying to adjust the rates to the best you can. Lag will always exist and be noticeable.
