cl_maxfps question

[VaeVictis]

Just wondering what the actual noticable difference between a low cl_maxfps and a high cl_maxfps is, besides being able to jump onto 64 unit crates

I am NOT a jump player and play almost entirely tdm and 1v1, i dont even care about doing all my double jumps manually and use a script most the time (although i can do every jump i do without it), i dont care about being the best defragger out there i just need to be able to do jumps that will help me win a duel, BUT i find some jumps are hard to land consistantly, and some jumps i find hard to do at all (manually or with my script)

I use a cl_maxfps of 125 and have asked around seeing a lot of good players using a cl_maxfps of about 66 or 90

silly rabbit, scripts are for tricks.

cl_maxfps 100  with refresh rate of monitor 100hz and vsync on for smooth play and big box jumps possible.

there is a difference, it's not big 60 is very playable

well i just use a script because i prefer it that way its honestly a preference issue, you still have to line the jumps up perfectly and such, and many people cant even use a script

i have my r_maxfps set to 1000 so i get >500 fps all the time rendering, im just wondering about the physics end, any benefits to lowering my cl_maxfps??

im actually beginning to think that catching stairs as i go up them if im going at an angle could be caused by my high cl_maxfps because i havent had it happen with a lower one when i was just screwing around, though that could just be by chance...

would lowering it make jumps easier? harder? exactly the same?

r1q2 separated the visual FPS with the game FPS (similar to Doom 3) so it's different with that client.

But no reason to apologize for scripts: it's as legit as modifying skins, models, sounds & console variables.

I use cl_maxfps 120 with vsync on with 120hz monitor. I have a bind on my mouse wheel to drop down to cl_maxfps 90 for all the crate jumps.
