> Hey. I know that usually in demos for episode one, the bunnyhopping will cause the demo to be jittery as hell. In the HL2 run, everyone could just lower cl\_interp so it looked okay. However, in EP1, cl\_interp is fixed and you can’t change it. However, cl\_interp is calculated by cl\_interp\_ratio / cl\_updaterate, both of which CAN be changed. By using the minimum value of interp ratio and maximum value of update rate, you can lower the interp dramatically. The minimum value of cl\_interp\_ratio is …
