Summary

0004338: Change default cl_ticsperupdate value from 3 to 1

Description

I've observed several Zandronum streams, some even in a professional setting IIRC, where the spectator commentating on a game had cl_ticsperupdate set to the default value of 3.
This gives newcomers a bad impression of the engine and netcode, as players in the game appear unnecessarily choppy when moving around.
It would be a lot better if this value was changed to 1 from 3. Most people have a connection that can handle it these days I think, and newer players seeing silky smooth gameplay would be a lot more pleased and want to return to play Zandronum again when trying it out.

Set cl_ticsperupdate 1 as default.

Notes
(0023811) Kaminsky (developer) 2024-07-21 20:33	You're right. Since it's been over a decade since "cl_ticsperupdate" was added, it's safe to assume that most users can handle the extra network traffic, so the default value has been changed to 1:'https://foss.heptapod.net/zandronum/zandronum-stable/-/commit/34ef308ffe3c8c8d233092dc824e97dfc60b1179 [^]'
