That means you're having network connection problems and the server automatically dropping you due to timeout.

Do you mean the server network or the client, or both or either or....I hate that also!

From what I have read is you lose connection to WON. Something like that.

I know somebody said in another post that the max_fps setting doesn't affect the new netcode for Halflife. I was having alot of the flushes awhile back. That and trying to figure out the tremendous lag that me and my son had when were online playing at the same time, I changed both of our max_fps settings to 45. I may have only flushed once in the past month. Most of the time it was running in the high 70's before I did this. Coincidence? I am not sure. Sometimes, I think the connection may get swamped from high fps.

I had mine set to 30 or 35 when I was on dial up, it helped a ton.

fps has nothing to do with network connection. It deals with the video and the frames per second that are displayed to your screen. I consistently get a 100 fps no matter if i have a 5 ping or a 500 ping.

...Which still helps your connection out overall, and keeps you from getting cl_flushentitypacket errors. I lowered my fps, and I never got the error again with AOL.

Agh i'm so jealous. Usually I get an fps of about 15, if i'm lucky it'll jump up to 23 if i'm not lucky, it will drop below 7.

hahaha thats funny. My video card CANNOT be set below 30 fps. It runs constantly at 70 fps, and get jump to 80-90. Really, you set it to 1 fps, it goes to 30, thats its MINIMUM lol

my vid card rooockkks

Dahak, your bandwidth is trying to push the information to your computer to keep up with that fps. If it isn't getting the info fast enough, I think that is when the flushes happen. It does make a difference.
