Quick tip I discovered for people on 56K..

Or ISDN for that matter.
I'm on ISDN at the moment, one channel and although my pings to this countries cs servers never exceed 100, my bandwidth is obviously a lot lower than Broadband.
I've been getting seriously "owned" for the last few nights, And considering I've playing CS since the first beta's came out years ago, It could'nt be the fact I'm a Noob, cos I'm not.

Anyway while messing about in the console this evening, and setting my rate to 3000, from the default of 7000 or something.
I discovered the command "cl_lagcompensation" which happened to be set to "1".
So since I've been experiencing some weird things, like spectating with players and seeing their crosshairs on peoples bodies as their running left or right, but the blood splashes and bullets were hitting well away from the wall behind them, Like there was Lag, but I was'nt lagged at all.
So a entered in the console "cl_lagcompensation 0".
This made a dramatic difference to my game, I found I was'nt seeing the lag anymore while spectating and my kills and obviously my accuracy suddenly went up.
Ok so I still got owned a few times, but it was no where near as bad as before.

"cl_smooth 0" seems to help with some wierd lag too.

Well I'm afraid that if you have'nt got anything constructive to say, then say nothing at all.

As for using my system against others, That would be the same as saying I'm cheating because my fps is higher than yours or some other such rubbish.

If I really wanted to cheat I could, the fact I don't, means that I'm not too bothered about losing, but would rather lose because my skills were'nt up to the job, rather than my pings or bandwidth.
