Accurate rates and interp guide
Difficulty: Beginner
Category: CS:S > ScriptingAuthor(s): J2K

These values are directly from Valve's support section at SteamPowered

Direct link to Valve's rates config file is here.

//===========================
//Valve's rates explained by J2K
//===========================


rate sets the data transfer speed between the client and the server. 20,000 is the maximum rate, and should be used for all connections 256k and above.
rate 20000

cl_cmdrate controls the number of packets sent to the server per second. This should be set to 100 (maximum) for LAN and broadband connections.
cl_cmdrate 100

cl_updaterate controls the number of packets requested from the server per second. This should be set to 100 (maximum) for LAN and broadband connections.
cl_updaterate 100

cl_interp_ratio is the new system for interpolating player positions on the server timescale. It is now based on a calculation with cl_updaterate and has brought the time gap between fast and laggy players closer together. On a 100 tickrate server, and a good client connection, this should be set to 1.
cl_interp_ratio 1

Personally, i like to keep everything even, and use fps_max 100 as well. If you send and receive 1 packet for every frame, i believe it feels smooth and has good bullet registration.
fps_max 100

20, 000 is not the maximum rate.
Many servers have maximum rates of 30, 000 and above.

Also, there are some 125tick servers, where you should use a higher update and cmd rate.

Fps_max shud be 101 other wise you only hit 99fps about 99% of the time :D

ergo, set it to 101 and youll be hitting 100fps 99% of the time
