What network settings are best for Counter-Strike: Source after the update

counter-strike-sourcesource-engine

After the update my kpd has plummetted and I was wondering if some of the settings could do with tweaking. I am getting a lag spike most rounds and reg does appear worse than usual.

I have:

  • cl_interp = 0.045
  • cl_cmdrate = 66
  • cl_updaterate = 66

I have turned off HDR and turned every graphic setting down.

Are there better settings that I could use, for general play on a very active server (20-50 players)?

Seeing as no-one has answered this question so far, I'll try.

First of all, I wouldn't suggest meddling with cvars to alleviate lag. Valve has worked pretty hard on their networking code, and changing their defaults will usually only make the problem worse.

Do you have ping lag or graphics lag? If it's the former first eliminate all the primary suspects, someone using the connection, or just try a server closer to you.

If it's graphics lag you might want to try getting a better computer if you have such lag with every setting on low.
