Budi's CS:S Config

This is my constantly updated CS:S autoexec config.

Put the file autoexec.cfg in ...\Steam\steamapps\*steam username*\counter-strike source\cstrike\cfg or take what you want from it and add to your autoexec config!

Launch Options

-novid -noborder -high -threads 4 -freq 144 +exec autoexec.cfg

Enter launch options at Steam > Library > Counter-Strike: Source (right-click) > Properties > Set Launch Options...

Other Settings

• Windows Sensitivity: 6/11
• Enhance Pointer Precision: No
• Mouse DPI: 450
• Mouse Polling Rate: 500hz
• Mouse Fix: MarkC Windows 8 + 7 Mouse Acceleration Fix
• Windows Aero: No - hl2.exe Properties > Compatibility > Disable visual themes & Disable desktop composition
• I play at 1280x960 stretched (no black bars, full-screen scaling) to 1920x1080. I like the feel, pov, and models are slighlty bigger. Maybe it's because I'm old school but it's purely preference.
• In-Game Audio Ouput: Headphones

Late reply! I forget to check for comments. Maybe your routing to a server isn't good or your internet connection is bad.

Thanks.

Isn't cl_interp_ratio 1 only used for LAN games, and a value of 2 is better for online gaming?

Isn't cl_interp_ratio 1 only used for LAN games, and a value of 2 is better for online gaming?

If you have confidence in your own connection to the server (little to no packet loss), cl_interp_ratio 1 can be better as you'll see players peeking ~15 milliseconds sooner. However, as soon as you lose a single packet, players will start to teleport around. cl_interp_ratio 2 gives you some safety here and allows losing a single packet without causing players to visibly teleport around.

The server is aware of your cl_interp_ratio value and will modify the lag compensation to take it into account when you shoot players. This means that regardless of the value you're using, you won't need to lead shots according to your ping. (This is why you can't change cl_interp_ratio while connected to a server.)
