    I may have mentioned this elsewhere. I probably did.

    Anyway, I get outright horrendous lag while comming. And no, it's not necessarily because I'm on 56k. See, I've always got the net graph on, and if I open the console while comming, I can see the stats it displays. When I start comming, my inbound bandwidth use doesn't really change, but my outbound goes absolutely insane. As in, my outbound starts trying to use more upload bandwidth than I have. I don't know what it is about the comm view that sucks so much bandwidth, but it's rather odd. And very annoying. It only seems to happen on some servers, though I have yet to establish a common thread.

    It's sending the raw position of your camera to the server. It's not very efficient (using text instead of straight integers), but this has been improved in 1.08.

    You might want to try lowering
    cl_updaterate
    and
    cl_cmdrate
    (if I remember the commands correctly)

    I know these things.

    I tried setting it to 5 once. Didn't help. Was still trying to use way more than I had.

    :'(

    Glad to hear it's getting fixed, then.

    I think Niarbeht, of all people, would know this. :P

    Yes. Niarbeht would.

    Niarbeht has considered binding various updaterate/cmdrates to his numpad.
