official news link, whatever

So they fixed the "[yourname] attacked tk_victim" bug as well as a bunch of other bugs that I didn't know were bugs. This fixes exactly 100% of all the trivial bugs and 0% of all the serious bugs with the game.

Serious bug #1: If there are more than four people or bullets flying on my screen at one time, I experience what my netgraph tells me is 'choke'. This means that nothing I send to the server gets through, so my furious RUN AWAY! motions never push me back into the safety of the tunnel in dust.


Actually when choke is in effect you don't send anything to the server, that would be (packet) loss.

Choke is a measure of the amount of packets you would like to send to the server, - or the server would like to send to you, but can't since you've already used all of your allocated bandwidth.

You have choke because either your client or (most likely) the server has put a cap on you transfer rate. In CS (the original), you'd have choke if your rate was too low (either capped by you or the server) in comparison to the update rates, cl_updaterate and cl_cmd_rate, lowering these would remove choke (but make responses slower)

Cheers
Gubbi
