i wonder why it is still not sticky.

... and people still complaining about "packetslost" on servers with "sv_fps 30" i make
here this quickguide.

Info about sv_fps 30:
sv_fps ist the server-snaps. Default snaps are 20. So, snaps and sv_fps are synchron on default settings. If sv_fps is 30, it leads to a better serverperfomance but is not really compatibel with clientside default setting snaps 20. So u need to do also /snaps 30 (more doesnt have effect and server takes automaticly snaps 30 from u, even if u have 40 or higher). And if u play on a server with /sv_fps 20 and u have snaps 30, it doesnt have negative effect, but if play on a server with sv_fps 30 and u have snaps 20, it will have a negative effect.

Fact is, that sv_fps 30 reacts on other clientside settings more sensitive as default 20. Client must adjust his cl_maxpackets in a sensefull way (if he have packetlost with current setting)

/cl_maxpackets is connected with /com_maxfps, i cant explain exaclty why, but it is fact! If u have packetlosts u should synchronize this settings, this is not just theory, like Flex told it to me, this is fact, i helped more than 20 persons with packetlosts on 2!Sfreeze more than 20 % to get a packetlost of 0%.

So, the quickguide:

- /cg_drawfps 1 (shows u ur fps), ur fps should be stable to have a linear effect, if not stable, tweak ur q3config.cfg or set lower /com_maxfps.

Following u should set:

[code:1]

/snaps 30

/com_maxfps --> /cl_maxpackets
125 --> 125, 63, 42 or 32
100 --> 100, 75 or 50
90 --> 90, 60 or 30
60 --> 60 or 30
[/code:1]

If this does't help against packetlost, it is not a setting problem, than it is a problem of your connection or of the connection-routing to the server.
