Snowshoesa3lence_what about the "rate" command, doesn't that one matter too?
the default 80000 is high enough, you shouldn't need to change it
the settings in the OP are the most important/game changing networking commands (not blocked by valve in mm and won't reset after exiting) and will work well for anyone with good low latency connections, which is most people nowadays. 20ms is a little more interpolation time than 15.2ms which is balanced for all the classes (proj/hs) and not too close to the server. too much lerp is bad and so is too little (too little can cause other players to stutter because it's such little interp time to smooth them out). i'd say over 30ms/0.03 interp would be kinda too much, 20ms/0.02 being the minimum.
considering sv_client_min_interp_ratio is a thing and there's probably servers changing it, i'll change the interp ratio to 0, even though my higher interp overrides 1. might as well
if you have shit ping or shit speeds then look elsewhere because high updaterate and low interp has been the standard here for more than half a decade. try 40 updaterate/cmdrate or something. as for servers limiting the updaterate themselves, really there's not much you can do about it unless you wanna sit there tweaking your net settings for every little ping difference or slow server. good servers use 66, and ideally you want to connect to servers close to you. obvious shit
You don't always get to choose to play on a server close to you (for some reason people still use dallas servers). It seems to me that you don't know what you are talking about and you've given next to no reasoning behind why your settings are perfect. If 20ms is so ideal why haven't people been using it already, this game has been out for almost a decade I would be genuinely surprised if it had never been tested. The only other time I've heard of someone using that interp was some other dude who tried to reinvent the wheel like you and made yet another cfg thread, but he didn't give much reasoning or evidence to support his claim that it is better either. I don't think I'm alone in trusting what setsul said over you. Why should people listen to some random dude they've never heard of?
