What are the default rates on cs2?
I fricked up trying to do "rate 128000" on console, now the game lags and I cannot remember the default rates on the game. Could someone please give me the default rates for me so I can fix this problem?

That depends on your internet speed
"rate 62500" is the lowest, "rate 786432" the highest.

If you go to settings in network I think there is a setting for network speed. Just set it back to one of those.

I find it literally makes no difference for me.

This was when cs2 was still in beta and their rates could be tinkered with. The problem resolved after I changed it back to 786432 btw. Now adays it doesn't matter tho.

What is rate? Min bytes/sec the host can receive data.
In CS2 settings, the max is 786432 however you can manually set the rate to 1000000 in console.
27.15% increase in receiving data from the server. You receive more data from the server and that data includes player animations, player actions, player position etc.

Now In the code, you can see if Bandwidth 20mbps, use rate 262144. If Bandwidth 40mbps, use 524288.
Rate = Internet Speed Connection x 13107.2
So to use rate as 1000000, you would need an Internet Speed Connection of approximately 76.29 Mbps.
If it's above that, you can surely use rate 1000000."
