Networking Configuration for Optimum Performance | Counter-Strike 1.6

This guide focuses on construing much about networking commands and how much can be done to ameliorate certain vicissitudes.

It is to be noted that the small tweaks have no significant difference but are still viable.

Introduction

There are many misconceptions when it comes to ping (latency).

There is a distance delay and all other things being equal (routing efficiency, processing overhead, congestion, etc.) a site on the west coast accessed by a host on the east coast is going to take longer than if that site is on the east coast but we're talking milliseconds here..

Geography will have a lot to do with packet transmitting time since the further you go, the the more hops you will most-likely add affecting overall latency.

Unfortunately, anything off our network relies primarily on our ISPs layout.

Rate Commands | Apprisal

The commands that you'd wish to implement are as follows;

rate 20000
cl_cmdrate 105
cl_updaterate 100
ex_interp 0

Windows Networking Settings To Implement

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

Conclusion

These settings will not reduce your latency by 50% but it will ensure optimum performance.

If there are any questions, leave those in the comments section and i will respond to them as soon as possible.

ONE OF THE BEST GUIDES

[CreepyCat2001]

i wanna thank you so much <3

[nedobratadobrota]

sir what about the fps_max ? sv_min/maxupdaterate?

[Stone]

Nice, don’t forget to drop a Like and Fav on my profile, have a nice day.

@Robin3sk Ok Thank You !

@SnipeX - The initial rate commands and not recommended for CS:GO, but you can use the Windows settings, as it affects your OS (operating system) in general.

Hi . If I do it .then working for csgo??

[Phantom]

Thanks!

I'm yet to update some content and add some settings that I've retested and would recommended.

I appreciate the community feedback.
