New guy here, looking for some help

[Myllz]

Ok, i seem to be having an issue. I have 2 servers up, one running debian with the kernel i compiled following the howto from one of the members here. On the other box i have centos 5.2 on it stock kernel.

What seems to be happening is that they dont want to do anything more than a 33 tick rate. Now i cant say that its a for sure that its not pumping more but when looking at the ins and outs for netgraph in CS:S it pegs out at 33.9 and wont go above it.

On the both servers i am using the config i found from this thread http://forums.srcds.com/viewtopic/8433

The only thing that i changed was host_framerate. Anything above 0 and the server ran in double time.

Anyone have an pointers or can see something that im doing wrong?

- Are you launching it with "-tickrate 100" ?
- fps_max higher than ~300 ?
- got sv_maxcmdrate 100 ?
- got sv_maxupdaterate 100 ?

What's the output of "rcon stats"? (Could be High cpu usage and poor fps due to it?)

Post your server configs so perhaps we can help you further.

The config is from this thread http://forums.srcds.com/viewtopic/8433

and the way i start the server is

./srcds_run -game cstrike -autoupdate -tickrate 100 +maxplayers 20

Are your rates set properly? cl_updaterate 100 cl_cmdrate 100

host_framerate must be kept on 0. you might want to change fps_max also to 0 to disable the limit. (btw: host_framerate does *not* control the frame rate, but makes the server assume always running with the given frame rate. it is generally a very bad idea to play with this!)

apart from that, if you are running with -tickrate 100 at command line and achieve frame rates higher than 100, your server should run with a rickrate of 100. but you also have to check both your servers and your own net settings. the appropriate settings are already given in the postings by afterhoursgaming and Myllz. (but I would not recommend setting sv_mincmdrate and sv_minupdaterate so high, this might rise the ping and even lead to loss/choke on players with not so good connections... those effects are much worse than a low cmd/updaterate!)
