How to Have Good and Low Ping in CS 1.6

[Nokdu]

hey guys any tips on how to make my ping good?

Latency is a variable of distance.

The further you are away from servers; the higher the ping.

There's nothing much that you can do other than choosing to play in servers closer to your geographical location.

Minuscule tweaks offer no significant difference or at very least; small but unnoticeable difference.

There are some commands with relation to networking that you should've known of beforehand.

The rate commands, try these in your console;

rate 20000
cl_cmdrate 105
cl_updaterate 100
ex_interp 0

I have made my own guides on networking but these are Windows settings that you can use.

I personally never tested these in CS 1.6 since I've been playing other competitive FPS.

Read this carefully;

These settings are for your network adapters

Go to control panel, hardware and sound, and in devices and printers click on device manager; in here find network adapters, double-click on it, then find whichever “controller” you are using. If you’re using ethernet it’ll likely be called Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller, and if you’re using wifi it’ll say something with ‘wireless’ in it – right-click on it and go to properties.

At the top go to the advanced tab. If you’re using Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller, here are the settings you’ll want:

ARP Offload – Disabled
Auto Disable Gigabit – Disabled
Energy Efficient Ethernet – Disabled
Flow control – Disabled
Green Ethernet – Disabled
Interrupt Moderation – Disabled
IPv4 Checksum Offloading – Disabled
Jumbo Frame – Disabled
Large Send Offload v2 IPv4 – Disabled
Large Send Offload v2 IPv6 – Disabled
Maximum Number of RSS Queues – 4
Network Address – leave the box empty, check/click Not Present
NS Offload – Disabled
Priority & VLAN – Priority & VLAN Enabled
Receive Buffers – 512

For wireless

Intel(R) Centrino(R) Wireless-N 2230 Settings (wifi)
802.11n Channel Width for band 2: Auto
802.11n Mode: Enabled
Ad Hoc Channel 802.11b/g: 11
Ad Hoc QoS Mode: WMM Disabled
ARP offload for WoWLAN: Enabled
Bluetooth(R) AMP: Disabled
Fat Channel Intolerant: Disabled
GTK rekeying for WoWLAN: Enabled
Mixed Mode Protection: CTS-to-self Enabled
NS offload for WoWLAN: Enabled


To see more about networking help and other things; see my guide post;

I probably will make guides for proper configuration (in Steam) and all of that for CS 1.6 but i'm too lazy nowadays.

rate 20000
cl_cmdrate 105 = 100 is max after last patch
cl_updaterate 100 = make it lower and your ping is little bit better
ex_interp `= dont change ping

Update

I've added much to a short guide and will continue testing much of these and update the content.

For now, the settings and other important information can be found here;
