Rates Please Help?????

[autodromo]

I need help, I rent a 32 slot server from clanservers.com and the current tick is 33, i want to make it higher cause of lag, how do i do it and what the heck am i doing wrong?


Currently at the begining of every round we force all clients to set accordingly.
cl_cmdrate 101
cl_updaterate 101
rate 15000

Seemed like a good idea at the time, but the research I've done so far suggests this isn't the way to go. Since we have no idea over client connections and routes, this can actually be introducing some lag to clients (thought keeping our interpetation consistent client to client). The other hole here is with a 33 tick server, the 101 rates can't be fully realized anyways.

What I've now learned is a more optimal setting would be to set the servers cvars as follows:

// bandwidth rates/settings
sv_minrate 10000
sv_maxrate 25000
sv_maxupdaterate 101
sv_minupdaterate 66


Pleae helP?

if you have lag issues with a rented server then you should take it up with them tell them to fix there pos server, lol. cuz if your having lag problems its there fault more then likely, if its not a problem with your connections, and upping the tick would probly worsen the problem. besides that, the only way to change the tickrate is in the cmd line, and i don't think i have ever heard of a server company that gives the client complete control over the cmd line.

What do you use to FORCE the client rates? I have been thinking of adding that to my server via a matties script, but I haven't got around to writting it yet.

You're using tick100 server settings. Using these high rates will not improve server performance. Use rates like:

sv_minrate 5000
sv_maxrate 15000
sv_maxupdaterate 60
sv_minupdaterate 20

And dont force players to go higher than: 33/33/15000 (Use this as a minimum and: 100/100/15000 as a maximum).

the maxupdaterate has to be higher then the tickrate.. or the high tick is pointless..

umm send a support ticket to clanserver.com now names gamservers.com.....tell them to increase ur tickrate to 66 since its a free upgrade.

I want to know wat good rates would be for my server:
Windows XP home edition
16 player CS:S server (66 tick)
4740 kbs download
250 kbs upload
1024 mb ram
2.00 gigahertz AMD athlon xp
Nvidia Geforce FX 5600 (128 mb)
The server is fine until it reaches 10 people, then the pings spike and everyone starts to lag, how could i fix this? Will changing the rates help?

dude, you've already tried to jack like 4 other threads with the same post, yes changing the rates will help, go here:

http://www.serverwiki.org/index.php/Advanced_Tickrate#Server_Bandwidth_Calculation_for_Dummies

and look up the part on rates vs bandwidth vs slots. next time start your own thread so people can answer you directly without having to digress to other questions. it keeps things organized.

I know i'm sorry for doing that, i just wanted to be sure it would be replied to. That site told me what i should change the sv_maxrate to, but didn't help with any of the others.
