Don't take the personality test at the end it's not worth the time spent

You can ask for your account to be permabanned without throwing a fit, just so you know

Does your cfg folder contain a server.cfg file? If so that should be it

Hopefully I make this concise and simple:
- Client and server communicate by sending network packets to each-other
- Different type of data is sent through different types of packets depending on the use case
- Different types of packets have different guarantees (can packet loss be ignored, can packet duplication be ignored, can packet order be ignored)
- View Angles are sent in packets that have the lowest guarantees because: we only want to know what a person is aiming at *now*, guarantees add virtual latency, we can fake through packet loss by pretending to receive the same packet and reconciliating once the stream is back to stable

What you see is: scrambled gets a ping spike, his packets will lag in transit, server will pretend everything is normal by replaying his previous packets, his ping spike will stop, new packets will arive at the same time that the old packets and server will accept both as source of truth, producing what you saw

It could be video memory (which Shadowplay definitely makes plenty use of), what GPU do you have?

If you want to push it as far as using server mods, it should be possible to raise the max as long as FCVAR_REPLICATED doesn't fuck with that, which I doubt it does.
I know there's a generic SourceMod plugin that lets you change ConVar flags (mainly used to disable the sv_cheats requirement) but I'm not sure if there's one that lets you fuck with default/min/max, I'm gonna start looking, otherwise it should be fairly easy to implement.

What I'm getting at is, if this is wanted, it can be achieved. Most likely.

EDIT: sm_cvar was the command I was thinking about, according to docs it doesn't respect min/max bounds, I'll try this locally.

EDIT 2: ^ didn't work, this does; https://github.com/ldesgoui/unbounded_mp_bonusroundtime/releases

I'm quoting a post asking "Why do you think it's successful?" and bringing up the reason why I think it's successful.

What the fuck am I supposed to respond to that? "Yes, I said that there's nothing wrong with that and I think there's nothing wrong with that"?
