Ns2 tweaking help plz !

Hello !

I was think.. In the old ns, counter strike half-life and so on, you could set commands like rate 30000, cl_updaterate 100, cl_cmdrate 100, cl_interpolate 1, cl_interp 0.1, cl_smooth 0 ...
Do we have some thing like that in ns2 ? i've search google thin, cant find any thing..
If it's the case that those commands still work what would be the best settings to not getting lag spikes and choke on the HBZ server ?
Thanks in advance

Thx for first post

There two types of lag: server- and clientlag.

Serverlag: high ping and packetloss(choke)
Clientlag: vram is full, carbage collection didnt work and there too much to render for the client (typical in endgame), cpu isnt strong enough

So if you see lag and the server is at 20-30 ticks and you have a good ping, you have clientlag. (use net_stats in console to view)
There is something you can do against: Graphic-settings to middle or low to save vram, overclock cpu or restart the client(game).

Against the choke, there is nothing you can do. Its a known issue and max is working on it. see http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns2/progress
"Reduce bandwith/choke - startet"
High ping, search another server

dePARA

However you can tweak the client to get a better framerate.
(I have to use it all the time)

r_atmospherics false deactivates the "smoke" from lightsources
r_bloom false deactivates the bloom, but the game will look less good with it.

there are some more, but I can remember right now.
but theese commands should reduce the lag-spiking - if they come from your client.

thx for the responses guys.. I've not experienced lag yesterday..
After deactivate my BitDefender anti-virus and firewall, no lag at all.. wehooooo
