Modern network computer games, such as CS, can transfer and accept rather large volumes of information. If transfer rate too low, or that it is even worse — unevenly changes, there are logs — delays and stops in a game, as a rule, at the most inappropriate moment.
Logs in cs irritate even the most patient player, and infuriate many simply. If logs appear suddenly and for a while, then they can be explained with temporary problems in network of your provider. However if they became chronic, then it is necessary to take measures to get rid of logs.
- First of all make sure that the power of your computer is sufficient for a game with those settings which you selected. Processor frequency, memory size and power of the video card — these three parameters significantly influence game performance. If cs braked from the very beginning, just try to reduce quality of graphics. Perhaps, all business is simple that the computer does not manage to draw the picture quickly enough. If you are sure that it is not the system power (for example, logs were not, and then they appeared), then it is necessary to solve problems with network connection.
- Disconnect all other programs which can use network (ICQ, Skype).
- Perhaps, will help to reduce logs manipulations with the cl_cmdrate and cl_updaterate parameters. The first of them defines how many times per second your client informs the server on your actions in a game. The second — how many times the server reports to the client about changes of a game situation. The more value of these parameters, especially smoothly there is a game process and the it is simpler to get to the opponent. Besides, they should correspond each other, if from the server information comes often and forms a dynamic game picture, and from you to the server the data stream is limited, then you just will not manage to react to changes of a game situation. To remove logs, try to reduce both of these parameters at the same time, or reducing cl_cmdrate slightly stronger. All these parameters register in a config or are entered into consoles.
- To remove logs, try to set the cl_lw parameter in 1. It will lead to a miscalculation of effects and actions of weapon on client side and will significantly lower traffic though there is a small risk that the picture which you see will differ from real.
