Hey all

Does anyone have any ideas what I can do to stop getting kicked? I keep getting kicked for having an out of bound ping. It looks like it's happening around the 300mark onwards

Bond

I'm not sure but will keep an eye out for next time it happens

Might be a problem with links to Australia, I logged on last night Australian time, kept getting kicked out after a few minutes of game play.

Not likely the ISP at this end as Bond and I have different ISP's. Mine is a Telstra 5G wireless connection which runs in the range of ping 22ms for local servers, downloads speed 50Kbs to 100Kbs depending on time of day. At night downloads are faster, but my ping never gets any faster then about 220 ms for Evil server which is in Texas.

I think Master is aware of the problem and is looking in to it.

Master

here is a guide with some info about rate settings in goldsrc

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1111287607

you will want to adjust your rate settings to ensure that the server is receiving your packets in a timely manner.

I keep getting kicked too, this plug-in is bullshit

Hi!
You know that I am the unstable connection king (with Ethernet no problems, logical) and with this change it was impossible no, totally impossible that I could play on the server if it is not with ethernet (I can rarely have it).

But I read the guide published by Master above and now I can very good, Sometimes the game keeps kicking me, but if before it was every minute now it is only 2-3 times in an hour of play, And I hope it keeps going well in the future
. I put my configuration (steam-steamapps-common-half life-cstrike-config in my pc):

The only things touched are: cl_cmdrate "105", cl_updaterate "100"; cl_dlmax "1024"; fps_max "99.5" and, under exec userconfig.cfg, I wrote manually that:
sv_minrate "0"
sv_maxrate "20000"
sv_lan_rate "20000"
sv_minupdaterate "30"
sv_maxupdaterate "60"

I do not like this limitation because there will be people who will be kicked suddenly for 5-10 seconds of bad connection in a certain moment (common thing, I do not talk about me that mine was exaggerated, I say normal things), But this setup has helped me

0 loss

It's changed from ping kicks around 300 to 1500 now so it's better than nothing.


mmm 5G

pizzahut

Master showed me the public source code of this plugin and I thought there might have been a different reason for the kick than ping, but I guess he's tweaking the settings. I got kicked too recently, and it was due to massive packet loss. My connection is sometimes bad, independent of my rate settings.

Bond

I take it that's there's a bit of behind the scenes work to maintain a server and keep it all healthy like

Nuggs

Worst plug-in ever.

I literally can't play for more then 5 mins without being kicked

Congratulations, you managed to implement a plug-in even worse than !teams plug-in

What's the point? High ping players causing that much problems with the server? No matter how much I fuck with settings I still get kicked.

BZ literally unplayable

Master

it was implemented to force you to use proper rates, the fact that you are so vehemently opposed tells me its working.

#13
Recall this thread where you told me no combination of rate settings will fix my shitty ISP.

https://forums.esclan.net/index.php/topic,8903.msg39811.html#msg39811

Now you're here telling me it's my fault for setting incorrect rates???

I just want to play TFC on BZ, which I could mostly without issue before this plug-in was implemented. Now it's literally unplayable



Tena

The reality is that I have been logging in almost daily for 2-3 weeks since this add-on is here and the server is dead. No sign of the 14-20 players who had connected almost at any time, now thanks if there are 5 online

In my opinion, for the vast majority of players changing rates either does not work (it did work for me but not all) or they do not know how to do it, they are players who install this game and play. "Proper rates", they don't understand that things I think, They just want to click on the game, enter their favorite server and forget about everything for a few minutes playing, and goodbye (like me in another games for example)
