Increase download speed COD2 1.0

[Ni3ls]

Can you make SS of your HEX editor? Because Im very new and Im not sure if I do it correctly :/

Perhaps Mitch can write an LPatch file to be used with the ever-so easy to use LPatcher program? Then all you would have to do is run the LPatcher program, load-up the file and it will automatically update your executable.

And for Windows version?

Moving on from sv_maxclients...

I'v noticed on some 1.0 servers the download speed is 20kbps (Highest I'v ever seen my server go is 12kbps).

Could anyone shed any light on how this was done?

I'm pretty sure its not lag-related because the server which gives me 20kbps has 350 ping yet local servers with 50 ping will only do 12kbps.

Downloading almost twice as fast can make a big difference.

Never tried it, but I would play around with the network cvars of client/server like sv_maxRate and cl_maxPackets etc.

Yeah I'v fiddled with sv_maxRate & cl_maxPackets both client & server without noticing any difference (cl_maxPackets = 100 & sv_maxRate = 25000).

Keep in mind that the reason these rates are so low is because it could lagg your server / ingame players when some player is downloading a file.

What have you set in your client as connection under multiplayer options?
It should say LAN/Cable/DSL. This means that the dvar 'rate' is set to 25000 instead of 5000.

Information about how to calculate your required sv_maxRate: http://www.fpsadmin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=9016

Example: 1 * 25000 * 8 = 200000 = 200 kbps = 20 kilobytes/s
