Many of these commands require use in an autoexec.cfg file rather than the in-game console.
The section below explains how to set up your own autoexec.cfg file.
Unfortunately, if you’re particularly CPU-bound, then just having this running can result in reduced performance.
That’s why encourage turning VProf off and seeing if you notice any improvement.
Just confirm it’s possible for you to tell friend from foe without its help!
Interpolation smoothes out the movement between packets of data sent from the server to the client.

Both relate to interpolation times.
cl_interp_ratio 1
The final interpolation-related console command we recommend changing is cl_interp_ratio 1.
By default this value is 2.

Essentially it stops a particular process from writing data to a file with each online grid update.
Many commands only work (or are only practical) if used in an autoexec file.
