Thread: CS:S Help......something got messed up.

My lerp has never before been orange or red and at 66.7.
Its supposed to be at 31.something.

How do i fix it? Its worrying me.

your rates arent right btw. pretty sure we run 66,66 30000

Add these lines to your autoexec.cfg if you have one, or just simply type them each individually in console~.

rate 30000
cl_updaterate 100 <---if the server tic rate is lower than 100 it will set this rate to the appropriate tic rate automatically. See note 1.
cl_cmdrate 100 <---if the server tic rate is lower than 100 it will set this rate to the appropriate tic rate automatically. See note 1.
cl_interp_ratio 2
cl_interp 0 <---this will NOT set your interp to 0. It will do the ratio/tic rate math automatically for you and set your interp accordingly. See note 2.

You should have a 30.3 lerp now on a 66 tick server (it would be 20 on a 100 tick server). If it is yellow or orange, increase cl_interp to .031, Keep slightly increasing your cl_interp value until you lerp has no color. This is the optimum lerp without packet loss or the maximum amount of time between interpolations/where others are rendered on your screen again withouth packet loss. This is fairly important for avoiding fire and aiming properly. Yellow means packet loss, Orange is a warning that packet loss is likely to occur, I do not know what Red is, but I am assuming it probably means your cl_interp is too high which could mean your cl_interp_ratio is not set to 2. Either way this should fix your problem.


For people like me that like to know where these numbers come from:

1 A note on cl_cmdrate and updaterate. Setting these at 100 is for 100 tick servers . When you join a 66 tick server they will both go to 66 automatically by default. This is why I keep mine both at 100 all the time. It simply doesn't matter and you don't have to change them if/when you ever join a 100 tick server.

2 A note on cl_interp and cl_interp_ratio. In order to calculate cl_interp it is recommended to use the ratio # divided by the tick rate to start with and then slightly increase your cl_interp from the calculated value until Lerp is no longer yellow or orange. For cl_interp_ratio 1 on a 66tick server 1/66=.015, 100 tick server 1/100=.01. For cl_interp_ratio 2 on a 66 tick server 2/66=.03, 100 tick server 2/100 .02. You can actually now just set your cl_interp value to 0 and it will by default make this calculation for you automatically based upon your rates and ratios.

I thought it was broke due to the map. Holy shit that map is never played.

100 tick is not supported anymore.

cl_updaterate 66
cl_cmdrate 66
cl_interp_ratio 2


The only interp values that make any sense are .030303 and .0152152.

The only interp values that make any sense are .030303 and .152152.

I forgot they changed the default to 2. Updated my original post. Those are both good starting points for ratio 2 -->2/66=.030303, for ratio 1--->1/66=.015152. Depends on what ratio is being used.
