macbeth: “since yesterday i pushed the limit to 35000”
As far as i know, 25000 is the max the game supports…
Setting this to a higher value doesn’t do a thing.
Also many set snaps to 40, while the server never does more than 20 fps. Asking 40 snaps per second is a waste, when the server only gives 20/s…
NQ 1.2.7. had some bugs in the forcecvar/sv_cvar code, and it is not really working correctly.
This is all solved in the next NQ; Forcecvar & sv_cvar both work…
btw: Our own clan-server has several settings restricted (also network settings, like rate and snaps, and even cl_maxpackets)… It works great.
… We really don’t know anybody that uses a 56kbps modem anymore (nor ISDN).
We also limit com_maxfps to 125 max. This to prevent people with fast computers to draw many-many frames, and flood the server with packets.
Yeah, i know… it’s evil.
