Rates

[Dr Sadako]

Last night i-Play were as you know extremely abusive and kept whining about rates and that some had rates that were too low. I have been browsing ED but I can't find any rules for settings. Are there settings we can recommend our Charlies to use so we avoid similar accusations?

Mine are 25000 101 101

I would say minimum 50 anything less is done not to help connection but to help kills...Only 56k should be lower

Could we make a public statement?

I was looking into this the other day and ED rules do say that rates should be appropriate for the connection.  We can do one of several things:  we can do an 'rcon user xx' where 'xx' is the player number and this will give us that player's rates; or we can install a plugin that enforces minimum mandatory rates.  The problem with the latter is that it causes problems for people on slower connections.

One other thing you can do is always have an HLTV recording from the match.  You can extract the rate info during playback to check what was going on.  We could for example make all challenges include HLTV?
