100 Tickrate Problems

[chalex4]

Hello,

I run a dedicated server and I am trying to run a 100 tick server. The strange this is, even though that "-tickrate 100" is in my command line and Windows Media Player is running on the server it doesn't give 100 tick. Of course I changed my settings cl_cmdrate 100 and cl_updaterate to 100. In the server's config file it was also sv_maxupdaterate 100.

So, to see if I get a tickrate of 100 I type "net_graph 3" into console. It then tell me that I have (when standing still on the server) an in of 60 and out of 63 on average.

I really don't know what the problem is and it would be great is someone could point me in the right direction and tell me what I am not doing!

Thanks in advance,

Chalex4

Depends on how many slots.

Server specs + os plz.

Ok here it is:

AMD 64+ 754 3400
2048Mb RAM
40Gb HD

This actually is a dedicated server btw hosted in Redbus not just my computer. I think this should easily cope with a few 100 tick servers. However we have 5 100 tick servers (12 slots each) on this at the moment and some other 66 tick servers and some servers are warping a little. Do you guys have an idea on how many servers I should run on this server so I don't get any warping. Since I am getting another server soon I need to know how many I can leave on this to even out the load a little.

Thanks!

3 or maybe 4 tr100 12 slots. First make sure cpu load is not 100%, this is causing the warping and tickrate drops. Allways try to stay below 80% load to keep servers running nice, without tickdrops + warping.
