There seems to be lag time to me, even with players who have 200 ping , or close to it, I just can't get the drop on them. I've played before. I was never in a serious clan or anything...I'm not a pro player, but I can at least aim and shoot at a moving target, especially bots. 

Even with adren, I feel like other player's are ungodly fast.  When it comes to a fire fight, it feels like I'm still lagging or half my bullets aren't landing, even when I'm sure I'm aimed at my target and that I've made a clean shot. Given hit boxes, movements, so on...I'm still sure that there's times where I fire and nothing happens. 

I've noticed with bots, who delay and don't fire at first, that I can shoot for about 2 whole seconds and there will be no hit damage. 

I duck, I aim, I move back and forth, use the keyboard to aim. I even have adren. I just don't understand why other players still do circles around me.  Even when I'm sure that I land multiple head shots, I only seem to get them down to about 70-80 HP, which isn't great... 

It's not as if my hardware is horribly dated or that my internet connection is inadequate. 

It feels like other players are using speed hacks...That's  how I feel, I'm not actually insinuating that they are. It just feels that way... 

I have a lagometer it spikes into the yellow during fights. I watch my ping it jumps some times... 

I hope none of this config is illegal, if it is let me know, I'll change it. I'm not familiar with configs intimately. 
What's strange is that when I played on an older computer, a macbook, 2008 and was using mac OSX, I think the game ran BETTER than it does on windows 10...

I don't know what processes are running in the background, Windows 10...is still windows and I'm sure there's all sorts of BS processes running that I rather not have running in the background. I'm unable to close many of them. Even when I started playing with this computer, fresh out of the box, I still wasn't doing as well as I had hoped. I'm not the greatest player, I'm probably near average, but I feel like I must be missing something. On my macbook, I was able to do fair some times, go on long killing sprees. So I know there's some perfect storm out there for me some where...but when I play on the server and on this computer with these settings I end up on loosing sprees. I don't understand what I'm lacking. I know the game takes some skill, but even so... I'm making clear shots at moving targets and I still feel as if the result is being some how severely inhibited. 

When I played years ago, I had a very dated PC, and I don't remember how I fared back then. I was in a few clans just for fun... I was never that serious, but I was good at following objectives. My brother at the time had a more modern PC, and config...I didn't use any configs back then. I've never understood it, how some people seem to fly around like lightning... 
Even when I go to pull the trigger at the same time and I'm sure I'm hitting them and in all the right spots in the hitboxes, I still seem to inflict minimal damage, end up dead and they come out with like 70 HP. I don't get it.

If I didn't enjoy the game, I'd just give it up and forget about it. Because, I never seem to be able to figure it out. I've had days where during the perfect storm, my clear shots, were true and I did pretty well for myself... but anymore, it's like I'm shooting blanks at people...

My other names on the server were Noob, Windows 8... In recent years I've been on the servers a few times, occasionally I had good days under those names. That hardly happens anymore.

What server are you playing on? It could be that you play on a server based in Europe somewhere, and seeing as your internet is based in Washington that could be the cause of the 200 ping. If i connect to US servers from Europe i have stupid high ping aswell and everyone has a 1 up on me becouse i lag.

If I understand correctly, it's about lagging right? As Owned asked, would be nice to know which server you play on.

Are you also connecting yourself via wifi? Is your connexion stable?

Are ya sharing your connexion?

 

Might help ya a bit too by doing in console of ET:

/cl_maxpackets 100

 

I shall also recommend playing on US servers too (even though you can play quite "nice" even with a 200 stable ping, even though it's not the best for sure).

 

Finally, I doubt that it's a hardware issue within your computer with such CPU and RAM. (I doubt you have a GPU prob too )

[DFighter]

perhaps /r_primitives 0 1 or 2 ( 1 of the 3 is the good one )

[Krusnik87]

perhaps /r_primitives 0 1 or 2 ( 1 of the 3 is the good one )

I don't think so, if i remember correctly, /r_primitives is related to open GL. Not with connexion issue.

[Symfony]

Do you know what /rate you're using?

[laggermcjagger]

I play mostly on Jay 2 
I live in Cleveland, OH, USA

I was never in a serious clan, never played competitively. Maybe I'm just not good.

Oh, silly me, I only posted half my config
 

 seta rate 45000 

 seta cl_maxpackets 100 

 seta cl_packetdub 1

 seta cg_drawfps 1

 seta com_maxfps 85

 seta cg_bobyaw 0

seta cg_bobroll 0

seta cg_bobpitch 0

seta cg_bobup 0

seta cg_drawMuzzleFlash 0 

 seta cg_drawCrosshairNames 7 

seta cg_gibs 0 

 seta cg_wolfparticles 0

 seta cg_smokeparticles 0

seta r_atmosphericEffects 0

seta cg_coronas 0

seta cg_fov 120 

seta cg_trailparticles 1 

seta cg_automapZoom 3.5

seta cg_lagometer 1

seta cg_pmPopUpTime 0

seta  cg_graphicObituaries 1

Anyways, I'm going to go exercise now. I'd like to get better at ET, but maybe we're just not a good fit. I'll just play for fun, I was never a competitive player anyways. The clans I were in, I don't think any of them lasted. I can't even remember them. I just get frustrated some times, because I feel like I should be landing shots, and I'm not. But maybe I'm just not skilled enough to see what I'm doing wrong. I'll consider posting a play video for you guys.  Thanks guys.

If you see anything though, I'd appreciate it if you brought it to my attention.

if the video card settings are not setted properly you can lagg a lot I noticed this first hand

[MilfHunter]

Hi if u have bad intenet connection then use:


Internet Settings
———————

Very short list of preferred setting to put in your cfg:

rate 25000 (lower for slow modem connections, i.e 15000 or even 5000)

snaps 20

cl_maxpackets 100 (lower for slower connections, i.e 60 or even 30)

cl_timenudge 0

Ups later saw that u have good net. But good to know still

[RedBaird]

I would suggest 

 

seta cg_optimizePrediction "1"

[laggermcjagger]

So, where as I'm not great still. I was able to at least get better, and practice without being as hindered by technicalities. I was able to atleast hit targets. I swear, before I did this, all the time I'd go to shoot some one, and nothing would happen. It was like I was shooting blanks. It was so frustrating. It was like people had a spawn shield.
 
I was playing as SillyJoe today on Jay2 earlier today. Technically speaking, there's been a great improvement. But, again it's not perfect. But it runs alot smoother for me now. 

This helped me tons! I don't know why it worked for me but it worked. I hope that I can keep my current settings if not approve upon them to rid myself of lag. It's not perfect but it's alot better for me now...

Noob
BrokeDick
SillyJoe

I still get some lags, but it was a good improvement. I just hope it's not temporary, because it's really hard to play the way I was... Thank you guys.

I seem to remember seeing complaints like this on the forums before, but can't quite remember where.

 

I think that the game works like this:

 

Player presses fire

Client sends packet(s) sent to server

Server coordinates all the incoming information.

Servers sends packets to clients :

---weapon was fired

---trajectory

---player was hit/not hit---bullet impact point

 

@Lagger, are you saying that your weapon does not seem to fire, or that it fires but you see no effect?  Can you see marks on the ground or walls?  Close or far?

Yes, some times it feels like it's not firing haha, and then when I hit targets it feels like I didn't really hit anything some times. I'm not sure I tweaked my config settings, further a way is some times easier to hit a target when I get close I get spikes even with decent internet and they seem immortal and impervious to bullets. It fires but I see no real effect, often... it's frustrating. When players have certain settings, internet connections I am able to stand toe to toe and have fun with them. On the other hand some players , I don't know what they see on their end but I put in like 2, 3 head shots and it says , " so and so had 100 HP" and I'm like WHAT?  

 

Thanks, I also call myself soreprivate now... I was playing on Jay 2 today. Changing my rate to 34000 helped.  Anyways, thank you guys. I was never that great of a player anyways. I just feel like something else is working against me on top of that.  I won't commit to any name, because I'm not a serious player and I get owned far too often. I've been practicing. Some times, it's really like I have no chance. I'm dead before I can blink. Some guys seem to move REAL fast, even when I have adren , everyone has it...some guys are just able to do circles around me I don't know why...

 

Anyways, it's a little better now, so thanks guys.

Without knowing your graphic card vendor, we can't optimize your cfg. Speaking for r_primitives, for instance, as already someone stated.

seeing the issue he have I also think its primitives that need to be setted /r_primitives 0 is for nvidea  /r_primitives 1 or 2 amd most have 2 I think

85 fps is btw pretty low I play myself in EU server with 500 or 600 and to US servers 250 to 300 for me personal the higher fps the smoother playing feels like jumping and shooting etc

/rate 34000 /cl_maxpackets 100 is for your connection /com_maxfps you can change fps if you want lower them or set them higher also if you have win10 and your pc have a hard time running ET you can try to set ET in task manager details to high priority and set running programs that use much memory to a lower priority if you dont need them
