CSGO/CS2 observations (2 tweaks for you to try)

[JimCarry]

My game keep starting with game traffic bandwidth set to extremely restricted, does anyone know why and how to fix that?
I have a pretty good internet connection (1Gb up and down) so i dont see why i'm getting these settings

you have extremely restricted because your rate is 1 mill make this in your autoexec:

rate 786432
cl_net_buffer_ticks "0"

after you change the commands like i wrote then it will become like this

max acceptable game traffic: "unrestricted"
Buffering to smooth over packet loss; "none"


Also for me this is the best combo ot commands but ropz says rate must be 1 mill.
If someone explain and give prove/reason i will change rate to 1 mill.

Yep that was it, i used some optimization guide for CS2 and the autoexec had 1 mill rate and some other network changes.

Thank you,

No problem,i can tell you for sure what you use,you watched nartoutheres video and you download his optimization pack,inside of it there is autoexec,and once you use it gg.i like when people add random stuff without even read what they add,and then you check random time your settings and you realise then you have been playing for years with a settings you dont like.

I've been in the same boat, trying different tweaks to improve my CS2 experience. Internet connection plays a huge role, but sometimes it's not enough, especially when facing highly skilled opponents. What helped me more was tweaking my crosshair settings and sensitivity to find what felt most natural. Also, watching high-rank players and breaking down their movements gave me a better idea of positioning and timing.

The problem is that if you have some kind of input lag, it will be the limiting factor for your performance and you can watch as many break-downs and grenade lineups, but you're just not going to win enough gun duels at a high level. I had like 5k hours in CS and I've been playing at 1900-2400 elo for years with atrocious personal stats (like 0.9kd and low avg) just because I know how to call strats, but the delay is infuriating to say the least. There are times when I do a fresh install and then 1-2 games it's really smooth and I can just push W+ and kill everyone with ease (130ADR), but then "something" happens to the OS and there's the delay again.

The best I could do now was install Windows 10 Version 1607 LTSB, it's pretty good for MM I'm like at 19k on premier CS2 (but I know it's not really that high but a few months before I tried playing MM it was unplayable, I couldn't even frag at like 15k. Now I have to play at like 0.4 sens 800 dpi (a really low eDPI of 320) for my shots to even register properly. But you can't install Faceit anticheat on such an old OS (unfortunately)

I also got a Focusrite Scarlett solo as an audio amp. It's nothing fancy, but I think the audio has a huge effect on smoothness, I know it's impossible to measure and 99.999% of the threads here are just placebos that can't be confirmed, so who the hell knows what really works.

I'll be trying a USB wifi dongle because why the hell not, I had some improvements when sharing LTE internet from the phone. My ping went up from like 60 to 100 but it was actually easier to hold angles, which is another ridiculous observation.

going back to cs:go 2017-2019 i noticed on twitch that zywoo was peeking very fast on the opponent screen with the same ping as him or even less (check imgur video 1,2), his model was sharp on the opponent screen, it was hard to hit. I noticed the same behavior of enemy models in games against me, these players had the same pattern, they had a low "rate" command value (Max bytes/sec the host can receive data).
Since then I started using standard rate 196608 (instead of usual max 786432) with 100 ping adsl (D-rank bufferbloat) connection in cs:go, sometimes I was playing against players who were streaming and I was wondering how they see me on their screen, my model was moving sharply on their screen, it was hard to hit (3, 4, 5) videos.

i also want to mention that i used to get maximum responsiveness from the game on windows 7 only, in 2021 faceit ac stopped support for win 7 and i had to upgrade, since then no matter what i tried to do with different win 10 builds, i can't get the same responsiveness as on win 7.
thumbs up for the renown platform, playing with ac on the server side will give much more freedom in choosing OC and hardware.

watch thishttps://youtu.be/C_UWuNkt_Wc?t=635 ,also if you download his cfg now he is back to 786 so i think your case is 100% placebo.

try deleting them they made my game sluggish expect RMHdcpKeyglobZero make it 0 instead of 1 thats the default
