FPS- How many frames per second your graphics card is computing.Once you leave the console, you should see in the lower right of your screen some numbers that look like this: Enter the command "net_graph 3" and press enter (to remove this later, net_graph 0). Press the ~ button, and drop the console. To start, you will need to be able to access the console in Counter Strike Source. It shows all relevant info about your connection to the server. Net Graph 3 is a tool that counter strike source displays on your heads up display. Loss is for the most part out of your control, unless your connection just plain sucks. Loss can also come from wireless connections, in which case you can change your wireless channel to fix or get closer to your access point. Those packets are 'lost' in the bowels of the net. This means that while your commands that are going to the server, they are following a path (sometimes can be 30 networks your commands go through before they reach the server) and somewhere in that path, the packets dont make it to the next place. Loss - Loss is lag from outside your computer and usually outside the server.The client cannot control this, but can accomodate for it by lowering their cmdrate and updaterate This can be caused by network lag at the server, or CPU lag at the server. The server is not able to read all of the information being sent to it.This will make you SUCK in game, none of your shots will register, and only 40% of the things you try to make your player do will be done, if at all. If you try to send 100 commands to the server per second, and the connection between you and the server can only accept 40, you are going to be getting 60 choke. Your computer is sending too many packets to the server per second.Counter Strike Source default is to send your players actions to the server 30 times a second. Choke basically means that your computer is sending your players position, and what he does (shoot, move, nade, knife) to the server, and its not getting there. Choke - Choke is lost packets of information sent between you and the server.Rates - General term used for the clients network speed settings in counter strike source (cl_cmdrate cl_updaterate rate)Ĭhoke and loss are indicators of where the lag is coming from Latency - One way trip time from your computer, to the server in milliseconds. Ping - Round trip time for data to the server and back again, in milliseconds. Lag - A term used to say that a persons connection is experiencing a delay lagging.
