Advanced server settings help

[MonsterDK]

Hi,

I run CS:S on a Dedicated windows 2003 server based in germany.

System specs are decent enough..
INTEL DUO 2X2.8 GHZ CPU
1.5 Gig RAM
2 x 160 HD
Running FPS boost.
System load is never above 20% as the server is dedicated for CS:S.

I often get users mentioning about the amount of hits it takes to kill others.
For example they would say 5 hits 70% damage. what the h*ll!

Peoples latency on the server seems average 40-70 from EU players.

Any help appreciated!

I was wondering if there is anything I can do to eliminate these issues?

I go into some servers and it appears very responsive - in the way it does not take much effort to kill players. Coincidence maybe?

The server is a 100Tick
18 Players
Mani Admin (latest version)
ES Tools
mattie_eventscripts
Steam Bans (Detox)
cl_restrict ( to force players to play with cl_server_restrict_command 0 )

I don't have any rate enforcing scripts on my server. And I am also unsure if I did add one, the correct settings and the best one to use.


Here is my current Server.cfg.

I guess there's one thing you'll have to try, that is to disable all plugins and see how it runs then.
The hit registering is still a myth, there is no known way to tweak it or anything else.

[MonsterDK]

Ah - so the the .cfg settings I have are the correct ones and trying something different with them will not make much difference?

[Drocona]

Exactly.
