Title: Probs with choke
Post by: Gh0st Face Killah on May 30, 2004, 03:07:08 PM
Anyone else getting choke problems? I tried to play on the cofr server this afternoon and quite quickly my choke rate rose up to about 70. It then fluctuated between 1 and 70. I have made sure there are no downloads running etc etc.

I found that I had to drop my cl_updaterate and cl_cmdrate both down to 40 to be able to play on the CoFR server. This didn't eliminate the choke but it did reduce it greatly.

I posted the same thing here earlier but the forums were playing up.

To play on Cofr i have to drop rate to 10000 and update/cmd both to 40.

Oh yes I have a script that sets my rates up as cs loads.

Thanks Smite I'll try that. I can see a cofr config been written for my machine!

is choke frame rate? :whistle:
Title: Probs with choke
Post by: Maus on June 01, 2004, 08:03:03 AM
Nope - not frame rate at all. It's a tough one to explain well, but roughly speaking it's the number of data packets the server sends that your connection can't pick up at that time - they get put into a bit of a backlog, and that backlog is your choke.

Not to be confused with loss which is altogether worse, and indicates data packets that don't make it to your computer at all.
