Posted February 17, 200619 yr Ok, i thought maybe my computer was overheating because when i turn my computer on i can play cs fine with 70 ping at highest, but later in the day if my computer is left on my ping increases, hence why i thought it was overheating. However, i can play WoW and wc3 without no latency problems, even when my ping according to steam is 150-250. My computer itself doesnt go any slower then when i used the computer earlier that day, and my browser seems to be fine too. Any ideas anyone?
February 17, 200619 yr your computer must be horrible if your max fps is 70 in 1.6 about your problem: make sure your rate is 25000 [ rate 25000 ] in console + other cmds i forget not sure what else, you could try posting on steam forums i guess

He was asking about ping. P.S. I get about 70 fps and I have an x800 xl graphics card and a gig. of RAM
February 17, 200619 yr Author Ill try reinstalling first, its really annoying me because my computer might not be the best but its cs ffs, it shouldnt be doing this shit. It never did it when i first got it either.
February 17, 200619 yr Your really smart. He was asking about ping. P.S. I get about 70 fps and I have an x800 xl graphics card and a gig. of RAM i mis-read, and i have 256 mb of ram and a 128mb card and i get 100 fps steady on max settings
March 5, 200619 yr im pretty sure cs1.6 has fps_max set to 75 when you first install it, so try fps_max 100 in console
March 5, 200619 yr didn't he say ping and not fps, anyways ping has nothing todo with your computer its your internet speed
March 5, 200619 yr your computer must be horrible if your max fps is 70 in 1.6 While your game may run at insane "fps", the actual number of frames you will see is determined by your monitors vertical refresh rate... So if you're in 60hz, no matter how fast your comp is, your monitor is only showing 60 fps. Increase the vertical refresh rate if you want the game to seem smoother (assuming you're getting enough fps in game to warrant the increased hz) And the "rate" variable in your console is the maximum speed you'll download data from the server in bytes. So 25000 = 25 k/s, I usually have mine on 100000 or so, but you'll only notice it making a difference if you had it really low initially (like < 5000)
March 5, 200619 yr Rates above 25000 are actually useless, since the GoldSRC engine only goes up to 25000. Same for Source.
March 5, 200619 yr MMO's aren't as reliant on your internet as FPS's are. You could probably play WoW with around 200 ping and not notice whereas in CS it's creates a whole other world of shittyness.
March 5, 200619 yr Are you using cable? I bet you have less bandwidth cause of all the extra b/w being used by everyone in your node. HE SAID PING NOT FPS n00bs.
