Explanation by JeffHill The two new convars are for a lag compensation feature we're testing. "dota_lag_compensation_window" is a convar on the server to allow for orders sent from the client in the past to be executed with a some fast-forwarding of the hero on the server to catch up. It's intended to make last hitting have a timing that's consistent regardless of your ping to the server (up to a limit, of course).

The thinking here is that right now, if you right click as Drow on a creep here's what happens with 100ms of latency: Right click -> client sends order to server (100 ms pass) -> server gets order, Drow begins to shoot, arrow appears ~400ms later. Total time click to arrow appearing = 500ms.

This feels a lot different than if you play in hero demo mode locally with zero ping: Right click -> server gets order (instantly), Drow begins to shoot, arrow appears 400ms later. Total time click to arrow appearing = 400ms.

So what the lag compensation amount does is: Right click -> client sends order to server (100ms) -> server gets order, Drow begins to shoot and does up to 100ms of pre-shooting animation windup Total time click to arrow appearing = 400ms, just like local.

That's what the feature does, we're testing it now. The cheat "test" convar is just a debugging convar for this feature, and the window is how many ms of lag compensation to allow for on the server. }}
