The netcode is funky

[RTFMy]

The netcode is really funky for me, and i've ran into some other people who experience the same problems as me. Now, i'm not sure if you classify this as "stuttering" because certainly my audio isn't stuttering at all, but I guess you could say that about the video. It's like I have lag, but really I have 40ms ping and 0 choke. It is like a lag in the movements, and it trying to catch up.. So instead of having smooth movements, with online play I just have people bouncing around everywhere. This happens on every server I play on, so it can't be the server. I know it's not a problem on this end, cause I can play UT2004, Warcraft 3, and Americas Army without any of these problems and still manage a ping in the 40-60ms area. Thus me saying it must be the netcode, yes I have played with my rates, really just stayed the same no matter what I changed 'em to. Don't get me wrong and start flaming though, I LOVE the Source engine, the visuals, HL2M and CS:Source are great! But it's hard to enjoy something with problems like these.

Discuss!

netcode

i think its all the physical stuff that's being throwing around is what causes it mostly.

I get these on some CSS server (Around 5% of those servers I join).
Ping's great, response is great, but the game "laggs" forward. It only disrupts the feeling though. I always figured it had to do with server updaterate.

Maybe, but I think most servers just use the default anyways..

Play with music in the backround. Watch what suttering does to it.

No, I don't think it is stuttering cause the audio is fine..

cl_smooth 0

Set it in your autoexec.cfg

I hosted a HL2DM LAN server the other day so a friend and me could brawl about. And even I was lagging!

 

[Ownzed]

Hmm..I don't really lag.

Nah, i've tryed that, and 1 simple command won't fix this..

Well it's definatly Source engine netcode, cause I decided to play regular ol' Counter-Strike 1.6 and had none of these problems.
The question is VALVe aware of this, and will there be a fix anytime soon.

Obviously 1.6 is as demanding as CSS, so it has to be the netcode!

I don't think FPS is a factor here when I get constant 72 on both :upstare:
