What each CS 1.6 lag fix setting does
| Setting | Value | Effect |
|---|---|---|
rate |
25000 | Maximum bandwidth between client and server – reduces packet loss |
cl_cmdrate |
101 | Commands sent to server per second – matches standard server tick rate |
cl_updaterate |
101 | Updates received from server per second |
ex_interp |
0.01 | 10ms interpolation – minimum visual lag between client and server positions |
cl_lagcompensation |
1 | Server rewinds time to your click moment – fixes hit registration at higher ping |
cl_interp_ratio |
2 | Interpolation ratio – value of 2 provides smoother player movement at expense of slight additional latency |
fps_max |
101 | Optimal FPS cap for GoldSrc engine physics and input sampling |
cl_predict |
1 | Client-side movement prediction – game feels responsive even with network delay |
gl_vsync |
0 | V-Sync off – eliminates input lag added by frame synchronization |
s_a3d / s_eax |
0 | Hardware audio acceleration off – prevents audio driver conflicts and freezes |
