I used to host css servers a lot but havent in some time, recently me and a friend have decided to host a server again.

I had remote desktop to his pc at home set up new server from scratch everything runs great i used to use srcdsfpsboost a long time ago so i figured it would work but no matter what server says 66 fps

So i then decided to test a new fresh install of srcds on my computer which is the specs i listed above and no matter what i do run media player scrdsfpsboost... nothing changes the fps it stays at 66 in command line and server.cfg i have fps_max 600 ive tried making it 1000 but no matter what they server fps wont budge, i have never had this problem in the past no idea why i cant get a boosted server going... any ideas?

Its supposed to stay at 66 fps. Valve "removed" the fps_max command. Yey!

[death01]

can someone confirm this other than someone who is labeled a trollmastah....

Death,

you can confirm this by reading the Oct 13th update.

" Server frame rate is now based on the tickrate of the active Source mod, not the fps_max convar"

so you Tick locks your FPS.

ok thanks a bunch for that info, in my command line i have tried -tickrate 33, -tickrate 66, and -tickrate 100 and no matter what server is 66 tick... whats with that?

[Monk]

The tickrate is locked at 66hz because physics of the engine require 66hz in order to operate correctly.

[death01]

thanks again everyone for all the info, don't you guys think the srcds installation instructions should be updated to no longer confuse people with all this fps_max and -tickrate stuff?

Hello. I have a server with tickrate 100 and I have 66FPS, it`s normal?
Thanks and sorry for my noobish question...

[Stinkyfax]

I suspect your tickrate is 66 too (p.s. fps is bound to tickrate now)

[NicK2oo6]

E:\SRCDS\css\srcds.exe -console -game cstrike -tickrate 100 -maxplayers 22 +map de_dust2

[Stinkyfax]

that's right, your tickrate is 66. Specifying invalid value doesn't guarantee you have it.

[NicK2oo6]

Can you please tell me the correct line to tickrate 100 ? I know that it is -tickrate 100.
thanks

[Stinkyfax]

Tickrate has to be 66 now, changing it to 100 is against valve's wish. You can still change it by some hacks, I wasn't interested in learning it because you're just making worse, engine works well only under 66/33 ticks, well ofc you don't want to have 33..

Yay, thanks Stinkyfax! You are the best!
