yeap im spected few a guys that uses "15" and they POV looks jerky

I had maxpackets at 15 and i small lagged. Btw same is timenudge -10 (small lags)

is defenitly not!

u sending packets to the server if u will not seend inaf information to the server PB (if is enabled) will kick u

and u r resiving snaps form the server, nudge settings decrese or increse normal w8 time that yors quake 3 must w8 to resive snapshot form server, if snaps will be not resived in time yors quake will skik this snapshot and u will be see this efect like jekry enemies

very huge negative nudgets can casue u will be hard to hit, couse of move prediction, if yors (client) q3 will be skiping to meny snapshots, (client) will be sending not corect information about yors posytion couse they are based not on full informatios that yors q3 was skiped, but if u compare it to unlagged technology huge nudget CANT make u harder to hit, im still not sure how in practise it looks like, but technics fact teling what he teling..

moust painful lag for player are lag that have yors enemy,

ADSL or DSL standards like mine connection 2000 downstream and 250 upstream

u will not look jerky if 50% of yors downstream will be taken by others programs, but u will be look realy jerky to the other if that hapens to yors upstream badwitch it will not only drop form 32 to 16KB/s but packest that u r sending to q3server will must be w8 for others packets that u r sending for extample by p2p prog. , and if they will not be resived on time to the server, server will skip them and that will make u realy hard to hit by the other players on the server

that is the whole problem based on dsl non symetric standards where lots of users make line bussy and they will not take hole downstream couse its big but they will take almous whole badwitch of upstream coue its 10 time smaler than downstream
