ESR is slowly but surely decaying into inexistence, maybe back it up elsewhere.

also why max 126 fps?

126 gives an actual 142fps, I guess due to framerate being locked at certian multiples. This is pretty good for using on 144hz screen.

Also I notice a very slight stutter at 125 and 250 if i do ADADADA strafe infront of an archway or clear texture. I dont get that stutter at 126. Not sure what causes this stutter, maybe a result of 144hz..

Unfortunately, a frame rate around 140 also will almost half your packet upload rate.

You guys are talking in words I'll never understand.

I stick it to 250 and go

Well, you know cl_maxpackets 125, right?

125 here means that 125 updates are sent from you to the server in every second. The updates contain information about your current inputs, e.g. what keys you are pressing.

However, the way the game is coded, cl_maxpackets is not the only thing that determines this number. It is also determined by your frame rate.

You only get the full 125 updates per second if you have 125 or 250 FPS.

At 7ms per frame (142.9 FPS), you will only send an update every second frame (71.4 updates per second).

What if I set cl_maxpackets to 140?

125 is the highest value accepted by that setting.

cl_maxpackets isn't even a command in QL anymore. Try to change it just says cheat protected variable.

Maxpackets is now a multiple of your framerate, and the only way to adjust it is by com_maxfps

It's been "cheat protected" for years (because of the way people were binding changes to it to make their animation appear less smooth to other players), but its value is still part of what controls how many packets per second your client sends to the server. The value is just locked.

QL hasn't been patched for years, this is how the engine has been coded since Quake 3, and the devs were always very reluctant to patch this, so I doubt this has changed.

It was tested in 2014, and you are the first person I've seen say it has been changed.

Yes, I was just wording my post badly.

Of course cl_maxpackets is still part of game netcode and has a value, its just that we dont have access to changing it manually anymore (save for changing com_maxfps)

I was not saying anything changed since 2014. If I remeber correct it was around that time (same patch) that we got the 250fps update that cl_maxpackets became cheat protected, or maybe it was earlier i dont know for sure.

Pretty sure in 2008 it was not cheat protected, but it could have been. Pretty sure in Q3 1.3 or whatever it has never been cheat protected, but I could be wrong.

Was mostly just replying to guy above who still thinks he could set it 140 with the command.

Edit: I simply thought the patch that gave us 250fps was also the patch that made cl_maxpackets a multiple of com_maxfps, and at that point cl_maxpackets became cheat protected because, it was no longer for the user to manually set.

There was definitely a point in QL history where people could change the value of cl_maxpackets. I can't remember exactly when it got locked down.

It's a shame all the change logs for this game seem to have disappeared.

The main quirk to be aware of now is that you don't get optimal networking performance unless the game is running at 125 or 250 FPS.

The site is clearly dying tbh. None of the people that kept QL news and articles coming transferred to QC and no matter how stubborn everyone here are - that is the new dead quake game. Atleast the pros are there, VODs are uploaded, some form of competition take place... there was going to be something to discuss if we all played QC and the site kept going the same as QL times.

Instead rn there are one spam topic per week and nothing more, I miss the days when I could literally refresh every 15m and receive tons of new posts to read. Currently I am off for a week and nothing new besides one troll topic with 3 posts.

yep, shit cfg...
Needs more pall and impjee quotes.
I'm gonna have to look through demos and screenshots. There should be loads of good material.
Thanks for your feedback.
