    //net variables
    rate 20000 //max of HL engine
    cl_rate 20000
    ex_interp 0.06 //I find (ie my opinion) .06 is the best for hit reg for marines. 0.0 for aliens
    ex_extrapmax 1.2 //default
    cl_updaterate 45 //about half of your FPS. too high and it will cause issues in heavy combat areas, overflow you pipe.
    cl_cmdrate 87 //approx +2 of your average fps, anymore and it is just a waist of packets. The less clutter/spam the better.

    thats my opinion.

    Emanon is probably as knowledgeable regarding rates as anyone I know of. Listen to him. Intently. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Yes I must say the way they have rates on there is retarded, here’s a story that some of you who have reinstalled steam for whatever reason know about.

    I was reformatting my computer for the first time in 2 years, having steam downloaded for so long I forgot all the things I had setup and changed to give me maximum ping. I reinstalled steam and tried to run natural selection, and my ping was around 2000 (I couldn’t not talk to people to ask what was wrong, nor could I hear them. I had no idea what was wrong, because I had forgotten that I tweaked a load of my settings to get my ping at high setup. Finally after about a month I had figured that my steam settings were set to 56k or whatever. I really think that it is retarded having the settings to where just selecting your settings has so much change on the game. I think it should automatically pickup your settings. Anyways this is really something for the steam forums.

    That <a href='http://home.covad.net/~k25125/SteamyThings/NetGraph_Steam.htm' target='_blank'>Netgraph Explanation</a> linked on the steam page is awesome. Read it. Proper knowledge of what the netgraph is displaying can help you find any problem with your net settings.

    When I try to set my cl_rate it says
    max = 0 min = 0.

    Why is this and what can I do about it?

    Rawr moderation.

    You can try doing a search of the scripting forum for rate information. You know, the <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?act=Search&f=60' target='_blank'>search</a> button on the top of every forum page?

    i believe cl_rate is supposed to match your rate

    I use cl_cmdrate 86, cl_updaterate 40 rate 20000 ex_interp 0.055 sys_ticrate 120 and cl_utch 1
