PS:

Well thats all the info i think needed!
thanks,

What are you game server rates set to?

I'd say about 30-35slots. Maybe less since your internet connection might not be reliable enough for hosting game servers.
Your hardware should be able to handle it

I got to say this... what a random sv_maxrate you've set. Put it up to atleast 20000, if you want to get near some decent quality gameplay.

k thanks
I used this: rates
to set my rates...
I have 6400 kbps(kilobits)
and according to this:
bandwidth
it says to host a 40 slot css server u need 1600 kbps and i have 6400 kbps O.o
so that may say something
thanks,
gamemann

PS: I tried adding 20+ bots but it seems i can only hold 22 bots including me be4 my server crashes
But i heard players dont take up that much ram usage and bots do so that may be it....
Players take more bandwidth but idk how good my bandwidth is!

[gamemann]

hopefully that upload speed should be able to hold 40 slots???

[gamemann]

Heres my best upload/download speed, well not the best upload speed but download, this is max usually for download but upload it sometimes go back up to 6.65 mbps...

[realchamp]

That data is theoretically and it doesn't always work that way around

Also does your server crash with 22bots and you in? That's really weird, what sort of crash do you get?

yea, like 22 when the bot is selected for zombie... NOW my bro just formatted the server and 455 mbs of ram was tooken by other programs and now my bro just formatted it so not my server only takes up 89 mbs so will that help?

I think the ZombieMod crashed the server, not the actual amount of players.
The RAM amount which is available now, after the format isn't going to boost performance a lot. But sure it would be abit faster.

So what do i have to upgrade for performance?
And is my upload speed good enough for it?

PS: So you saying that zombie mod can't handle more than 22+ bots? Or is it just my ram or processor...
btw: Does real players take as much ram and processor usage as bots?

Your hardware is fine. The problem is your upload speed.

But the crash on the server might be the Zombie mod you're using. You could try to disable it and perform the same test which crashed it.

Well idk if my upload speed is good or not but look at this:
Upload speeds

I have 6400 kbps upload speed and it says you need 1600 kbps to host a 40 player srcds server?

I have 2000kbps and I can even hold 12players running at 66tick. Those information provided there is out of date, invalid and it is theoretically calculated.

2000 * 3 = 6000 so that means i can atleast hold 36 players but possible even more since the extra 400 kbps... Thats my estimate....
