I have a good ping and stable connection BUT some FPS tweaks would sure be nice. What are some good DM tweaks to help out the FPS? I'm thinking about settings for things like, decals, ejected shells, blood splatters.... etc.
-edit My only contribution is for rate settings:
Use
net_graph "1"
Then experiment to get the best settings. Watch the graph lines for the best STABLE ping.
On DSL I'm using:
cl_cmdrate "100"
cl_updaterate "45"
rate "20000"
I forgot where I picked up this rate setting but it seems to work for me. Many ppl use rate "9999".
To be honest, I have forgotten what the net_graph "1" lines specifically represent. IN A PERFECT WORLD, the lines would be solid and flat without any spikes or breaks. You want to tweak your settings using net graph one. It does help.
For a starting point start up a game and use:
cl_cmdrate "100"
cl_updaterate "100"
Then change that to cl_updaterate "20". Twenty is not a realistic setting but it will let you see the difference it makes in its graph line and in your ping. Start raising the setting by increments of 10 or so points until the line is as flat/stable as it gets. THEN STOP. A lower cl_updaterate will lower your ping but you don't want to sacrifice quality for speed or vice versa.
Next do the same thing with cl_cmdrate.
Just take your time with it, it's easy to see.
