I do not believe this to be true, because about 6 seconds after the admin types !sync limit 9999, that player is booted from game.

I keep seeing this happen, someone begins to lag and immediately an admin types !synclimit 9999. What do you think happens next? That player is sabotaged and almost always booted from the game. There needs to be education on these commands, because most do not understand. I found this good explanation, and think that the synclimit max should be more limited. "Latency: the time interval between sending packets to all players. After a game action is accepted by the server, it is queued until the next interval for sending packets to all players arrives. So, with the latency at 100 ms, packets are sent to players every 100 ms; but a player's packets might actually be sent in only 10 ms (if it was received 90 ms after the last interval) or up to 100 ms.

A lower latency causes players with higher ping to experience increased lag. Probably mostly spikes I think.

Sync limit: the number of actions that a player is behind by before the "player is lagging" screen comes up for the people who aren't lagging. So, 50 means that the player has not confirmed that he or she has received the last 50 actions. This means they need to catch up, which is why the lag screen comes up - it gives them time to catch up to the current game state by receiving those actions that they hadn't confirmed yet; if it doesn't come up, then they might just get more and more behind. Increasing to 1000 means increasing by 20 times; this might mean that a player doesn't start having lag screen until 10 or so seconds after they actually lag, which is bad.

To ensure the best game quality for everyone, we set the latency at 100 and the sync limit at 50. If a non-admin host were allowed to change these parameters, some people might be adversely affected."

People will say that all sync limit does is HIDE the lag screen, and if a person is dropped from game it is because 40 seconds has already passed. I do not believe this to be true, because about 6 seconds after the admin types !sync limit 9999, that player is booted from game.

I have saved a player from being dropped by temporarily raising the synclimit to 100 or 150, then bringing it back down so the lag screen shows, this gives them more time to catch up.

While most players probably do not want to wait for that person to catch up I think it could be useful for in house games. Any thoughts guys? I wont pretend I am an expert, I might be wrong about this but these are my thoughts.

Agree with u, here and example... Ottoj put !sync limit 9999 and the bot drop me at that moment
