  • The Secret Sauce. Netspeed and Maximum client FPS rates.

    As posted before there is a setting in ut2004.ini to uncap client fps rates by adjusting netspeed.

    I found a guide that explains this in great detail and IT WORKS FLAWLESSLY.

    Some would even say combined with netcode it creates an unfair advantage... <throws "some" out the window> Eff that guy.

    LOOKY:
    https://docs.google.com/document/d/1...hWA/edit?pli=1

    I'm getting stable 200 fps with this. Only drawbacks are, increased ping times(mitigated by netcode) and that weird thing when you move up a ramp in game and it feels like you're crouching, whatever.

    I recommend netspeed 10880.

    EDIT*: I just looked at what I had set mine to, based on the table in the above link. I set it for 170 fps, adjusted keepalive and maxFPSrate accordingly, but I'm getting solid 199/200 FPS everywhere @ 10880 netspeed. That's my rig and internet connection though. So while this method does work, *ahem* "results may vary". lol.

    EDIT 2**: On netcode, I was always told to use this version of netcode effectively, that is increasing hit rate vs not incurring unnecessary/additional CPU load leading to unregistered shots/weird lag, the rule of thumb is as follows. If your ping = 60 or greater, netcode enabled. If your ping = less than 60, netcode disabled. However I don't know if this rule of thumb took into account the netspeed/keepalive timing of the above link. So again, tinkering is required to find what is best for you and "results may vary".

        I try to keep my frame rate as close as I can to a multiple of my monitor's refresh rate. My BENQ XL2430Ts run at 144hz, so I try to keep frame rates as close to that as possible, as 288hz would be counterproductive due to connection issues.

          My ASUS VG248QE runs 144hz as well. Like I said I set it to 170 FPS, it just runs at 200 FPS. Not my decision apparently. The computer made it for me. Or, more than likely that guys numbers are a bit off. All I know is I run a SOLID 200 fps, no lag, with or without netcode (other than the lag netcode causes natively). I usually keep netcode off on HTM servers as my ping is low enough.

              I like the BENQ, although I have thought lately about moving from the 24" to 27". I mounted a 50" TV in the office this weekend and it has become a part time third monitor.

                      Correct. Unless you uncap your fps with the settings in my first post, you will be limited to 90 fps online.

                        This is limited by the server tick rate either way.

                          You can send a packet for each frame but the server is only going to see a maximum amount of positions per second for you as defined by the tickrate. Tickrate 30 means the server updates each players position 30 times each second aka 30 fps or 30 hz.

                            Yeah this is for clientside fps unlock.

                            Whatever tho it works. I get SOLID 200 fps using this method and 0 lag.

                            I have turned it off as of late tho, it's a nice gimmick but low ping is still better. Same with netcode, yucky unregs.

                              Found the full google docs. A bit dated, but still chock full of good info for settings/tweaks. Tweakguides dot com has a good guide as well.
