Only these are the ones I know about. Code: rate cl_cmdrate cl_updaterate cl_interp But I should probably try entering my commands individually while being on a server to see. But from the rates, only those 4 are enforced. I dont think much else should be enforced by the server. And some of those commands are also rather meant for listenserver/demos too.. and so.
Can you please give some resources on what do all these things mean and how not to screw up your gameplay up? Googling all of this takes time
All right then. I will try adding comments to some of the things. At least what I remember. Anything that takes performance away, is mostly there to make empires look a bit better..or not so bad. And none of it should be any big deal to performance. Probably tiny effects. Commented and explained autoexec.cfg Enjoy
Actually, correction. It seems my old rates work better. cl_interp 0 cl_interp_ratio 2 cl_lagcompensation 1 cl_pred_optimize 2 cl_smooth 0 cl_smoothtime 0.01 rate 100000 And about the server enforcing rates, for example NUBS...it doesnt actually enforce many of those commands, its only a maximum/minimum enforcement/restrictment. So for example. cl_interp ( def. "0.1" )"cl_interp" = "0.007813" min. 0.000000 max. 0.500000** NOTE: The real value is 0.000 but the server has temporarily restricted it to 0.008 ** So if you set it to 0, it will always be the allowed minimum, which is set by server to 0.008. But you can still change it to 0.1 or something else if you would like. Same for "rate", the server sets 100000 but you can go lower than that if you would like. My main fix now seems to be setting cl_interp_ratio 2, instead of 1. Just how I used it before. ( Think I had those new rates rather as an experiment ) With 1 I was getting more of that tiny stuttering lag. The server also says this command is restricted or enforced. But it wont mind when you change it. At least it happened ONCE for sure to me, that the server responded that its restricted/enforced, when I didnt set any value to it. Not sure if there is any difference about cl_smooth. But I will just turn it off, as its generally advised in source engine games.
