Code:

decalfrequency 60
sv_maxrate 0
sv_minrate 100000
sv_maxupdaterate 100
sv_maxcmdrate 100
sv_timeout 120
sv_allowupload 1
sv_allowdownload 1
sv_minupdaterate 10

Problem:
When my servers reach over 24 players, they periodically get choke spikes. Is there anyways I can fix this? I heard that if fps falls under 66, then that's what's probably causing the lag, so I was wondering if there any guide I could follow to edit the kernel so the FPS is constant instead of the 1000FPS guides.

probably your cpu is too slow. maybe lowering the tickrate helps... try out a tickrate of 33, it's just fine for playing (and better than fluctuating rates)

I thought setting sys_ticrate was not available anymore after some update?

./hlds_run -game cstrike ...-sys_ticrate 300 ---> HLDS
./srcds_run -game cstrike +fps_max 0 -tickrate 67 ---> SRCDS

-tickrate is only available if you hack it back in. Since the orangebox update it is removed.
If you want to have a kind of lower ticrate lower you serverfps to the value you need and or change sv_maxupdaterate and sv_maxcmdrate to the same value. For example:

Code:

fps_max 34
sv_maxupdaterate 34
sv_maxcmdrate 34

-sys_ticrate only works if you do not use -pingboost. If you use it has to be +sys_ticrate
