FYI: the lightboost strobing feature is no longer Nvidia-centric

actually I just tried to confirm what I wrote a pug server and while they lock down the cl_interp_ratio command they appear to let you change cl_interp to anything

ignore what i wrote

why does your page never "remember me"

i have to log in everytime

there are two 6v6 TF2 ladder leagues in the works and a new cevo season just starting up, so people do have choices but the responsibility falls on the shoulders of the community to participate if we want to keep these alternative leagues growing

ok tbh i dunno why i keep arguing with people about interp so instead i will just say that yes you are right i like you here is a cool post by smaka to unite us all as one

idk why you're building up a straw man when we both agree on the same things. your post also doesn't address hit registration itself but how player model positions are smoothly rendered on the client

if your internet sucks use 2/66 or even 3/66 if you want to be an extra 30ms behind the server (enjoy those projectiles)

i dunno what it is about interp but misinformation abound lest that magical word ever appear in a thread

hit registration in an online setting is a shitstorm that mainly revolves around your fluctuating ping and packet loss in addition to whether or not the server involved is a piece of shit

this is why LAN is amazing and people with consistent 2-20ms ping times are the privileged aristocrats of lag compensated gaming compared to us low-class 50-100ms peasants

interpolation is such a small piece of the hit registration puzzle that it blows my mind people have categorized different interp settings. the video in the OP shows that interpolation (no matter its length) is always calculated into hit registration the same way by the server, meaning you can leave it constant and experience absolutely no difference in hit registration. the lurch or freezing of the player model when the exploit occurs is due to the significant change (400+ ms of aim time) in client rendering time and actual client time

therefore, locking interp settings while you're in a server is a good solution to this exploit that will not change anything for your hit registration

optimal interp settings FOR EVERY CLASS in online play (assuming your connection isn't shit) are

cl_interp 0
cl_interp_ratio 1

if your connection experiences regular packet loss (or if you're a pussy)

cl_interp 0
cl_interp_ratio 2

hmmm

- values vanity game items over actually playing games
- is one of the annoying fucks on steam that bothers you until they get something petty they want
- links to ebay site with .bat and "cd-rom" offer
- petty attempts at dialog read like an infomercial
- xD face

my diagnosis: 13 year old

kinda funny valve provides ways for server providers to lock down a client's cl_interp_ratio but not the actual cl_interp variable

it's like they meant for cl_interp to become a read-only variable at some point when cl_interp_ratio was added to the engine but forgot for five years

also i'm pretty sure ESEA has always somehow locked cl_interp to 1/66. someone with a match tonight should check to see if that is still the case

My approach is a bit predictable, but I think the best place to put a sentry is in a position that has full or semi cap point coverage but is still as close as possible to your spawn doors. This allows you to build the turret fast and also allows you to switch to another class quickly if it dies. It's easy and effective.

This should also a position that cannot be spammed from long distances without forcing the enemy team to enter the room. For example, I like this process spot:

With the jag, it's quick to build, it covers 95% of the last point, it is far away from entrances and hard to spam without first entering the room, and it is easy to abandon and change classes if it is focused down.

Just think of a sentry gun as buying your team enough time to kite an uber or defend itself. The extra second or two the other team spends trying to kill your gun makes it worth it if you don't die and can switch classes quickly.
