you might want to get some more ram, 3 GB isnt very much for a gameserver with 42 people on it

Well then. If you have Python installed you can do this:

If you have VNC installed then you could just run it from the desktop environment...

Or if you know how to use wget and wput you could just use your imagination...

sv_maxcmdrate 66
sv_minupdaterate 66
sv_maxupdaterate 66
sv_minrate 30000
sv_maxrate 100000

Forces all users to 66 tick (max of srcds.exe by default) and between 30k and 100k rate which is a very common value.

Also in the future make sure you note that you have a 1Gbps shared connection, not a 1GB connection (Big difference). The fact that it's shared worries me too. A user on the same connection could just start downloading at max speed and then your game server would suffer from intermittent lag.

Finally, is this a VPS? Because 2.9GB of RAM is a very odd amount especially for 1230v2's which are generally loaded with 4GB to 8GB modules...
