TF2 Server Config Optimization

[sdogg2n]

Recently purchased a dedicated server and trying to figure out the best optimal settings for those that connect. Particularly for these settings:

// Rate Settings //

// Frame rate limiter
fps_max 600

// Min bandwidth rate allowed on server, 0 == unlimited
sv_minrate 15000

// Max bandwidth rate allowed on server, 0 == unlimited
sv_maxrate 30000

// Minimum updates per second that the server will allow
sv_minupdaterate 20

// Maximum updates per second that the server will allow
sv_maxupdaterate 100


---- Would like an explanation of these settings (Do I need them):

//Fix Weapon Spread
tf_use_fixed_weaponspreads 1

//Force Preload
sv_forcepreload 1


---- Here is my startup command
-game tf -console +ip 206.217.135.204 -port 27015 +maxplayers 32 +fps_max 300 +exec server.cfg +map pl_goldrush -tickrate 66



Thanks for your time and help.

To be honest, the minumum rates are unnecessary. Just putting a max should suffice, because the only time that SRCDS wouldn't achieve near that value would be if the server is using a lot of resources anyways, and why kick it while its down

However, a pretty good maxrate for a Public server is 25000-35000, so your pretty good there. A higher quality server would be better at 35000-45000.

Thanks

I have a buddy of mine who think the server would be better if I set the sv_maxrate to this:

sv_maxrate 100000

Simple: The more Slots the server has the more playerdata needs to be send. A small server can have a lower value with 20+ slots you need higher one.
