I Cant Play Ns Anymore Because Of 3.0

Title says it all almost. Ever since the release of 3.0, the connectivity of the game on ALL servers reminds me of a 33.6 dial up connection.

I have cable *duh*, its not my computer's problem since b5 ran perfectly fine, not to mention counterstrike source runs faster than NS 3.0. The 3.01 patch only reduced the amount of choke experienced, but with an I/O net speed that when added together never passes 3kbps, I find it hard to believe that the game could ever run smoothly.

cl_rate 20000
cl_updaterate 45
rate 20000

2800+
x800 pro
1 gig corsair ram
800+ gigs HD space 7200 rpm RAID0 arrays
etc etc etc

too bad it looks like im gonna be uninstalling NS sooner than later; whats the point of having a game that you have perma teleport hax installed on EVERYONE

    I'm having the same problems, even though Steam is set to T1 and my config file basically the same as my b5 one. Although, I have noticed that most of the people on the servers have higher pings than normal, so it could be a server issue.

    Ditto, while not completely unplayable it may as well be. +20 choke constant ftw.

    Are you still playing on 3.0 servers?
    There was a conention issue found somewhere resulting in the server-side 3.01 patch. Play on these servers instead; any difference?
    (THV's server is patched, IP is in my sig, incase you can't find any others. Easily 50% are patched up now.)

    If you have a nice fast cable connection try using:
    cl_cmdrate 101
    cl_updaterate 101

    maybe you should try different servers it sounds like you are just trying it on one server where everyone could be having problems.
