>The engine is designed to intelligently scale almost every game mechanic with the tickrate.

Literally no game engine in the entire world has a perfect framerate conversion system. Not source, not unreal, not unity, not even an engine someone might come up with for this very purpose.

I know for a fact that Source has a flawed delta time system just as unity does.

The closest that you can get without writing all of your physics code as higher order math is integer fractions of the base framerate through frameskipping.

Have fun with subtly broken physics everywhere

which is why vac's fingerprinting mechanisms graduated from solely hashing executable files generations ago.

People usually change their strafe the most right around the peak of the jump

"Be able to top score in a valve pub" is really dependent on the time and region you play at. It's so subject to outside forces that it's useless advice.

Speaking from experience I'm NA and could probably top score an aus/NZ valve server any hour of any day of the week. But if I go to an east coast US valve server at peak times there's going to be stacks of people at my general skill level.

Game ban mechanics are up to the dev
in CSGO overwatch bans mean no valve servers, but you can still play on servers that allow overwatch banned players

I think that map edges are a critically flawed concept for this type of game

I've heard that actually works for some reason but take that with a grain of salt

>How can it be done, though? I've tried googling it all day and haven't been able to find anything relevant.

The normal force disable vsync driver settings actually work on nvidia, unless they decided to remove them entirely in recent driver versions.

"tons of much needed changes"

>Not relevant when running in windowed mode, iirc?
*Only* relelvant when running in windowed mode.
>At that point, DWM is in charge of vsync. If that can be disabled please let me know.
It can be on Nvidia. Not on AMD. There's also supposed to be a registry key for it somewhere in 8, but take that with salt.

do you have vsync force disabled? that sidesteps the aero/dwm vsync problems on nvidia

self-merging refuses to make any sense whatsoever
