Few wired problems. TF2 Server

[-suo]

On my Win2k3 Server ed. (64x), I have a few odd problems with my TF2 server.

First, I have set the tickrate too 100 and I only get 66. I have my cmdrate and updaterate set at 100 and my fps is 500 on the server.

No idea why but it wont goto 100 tick.

Next, I have custom maps and for some reason clients cant download them. I have the sv_allowdownloads set to 1 and no downloads.

Thanks,

Both EASY to fix.
In your server.cfg , set this:

Code:

// This will fix your tic rate and let it run higher then 66

sv_maxupdaterate 100
// Maximum updates per second that the server will allow. Default: 60

// This will set downloads

sv_allowdownload 1
// allow files to be downloaded from the server. 0 is off 1 is on
net_maxfilesize 75
// Max download file size. Default is 15
// This is set for 75 since custom maps are BIG
sv_downloadurl "MYWEBSITE.com/tf2/"
//redirect download location
// It is highly recomended that you set a fast http
// download server.  If not, the downloads will be
// so slow people will leave.  Even if the server is
// on a fast line.

Ok the map download worked, but the tickrate is still at 66. What gives? Is this a TF2 problem?

[Mooga]

is the tickrate set at startup?

[-suo]

Yep, -tickrate 100

Works for my css server.

Are you running both servers at the same time?

[Mooga]

Code:

sv_maxupdaterate 100

You added that? Try 120 instead?
Besides that I have no idea...

[Spartanfrog]

Well it could be that the tickrate is suffering due to CPU usage or bandwidth. Are you running both servers at the same time, what is the CPU usage, and what about your bandwidth?

My server is:
U1 Rack in Texas
Window Server 2003 (64x)
Core 2 Duo E6600 (2.4)
2 GB SuperTalent 667
Full 10/100 switch

Server/Apps: (Always running)
8 Person Gmod server 66 tick (500fps)
16 person 100 tick CSS (500fps)
24 person 100 tick (running @ 66) TF2 server (500 fps)
24 person 100 tick (running @ 66) pvt TF2 server (500 fps)
8 person vent
16 person TS

Benchmarks: (Avg one server under full load and 1 person in gmod + full Vent)
CPU running @ 1.6 not enough load to hit 2.4
CPU0 = 17 to 25%
CPU1 = 10 to 15%
Ram = 70% free

Ethernet benchmarks: 75000 kb/s up / 65000 kb/s down

I dont think its a performance issue. I can have a full TF2 server and a full vent, and while in gmod with some people I can spawn some crazy wire mod thing and it wont lag any programs on the server at all. Gmod may crash but thats gmod.

Is this a TF2 issue???

[-suo]

I tryed everything I could think of
-tickrate 120-133
sv_maxupdaterate 120-133

never got above 68.

Anyone else having this issue

[Spartanfrog]

This stumps me. Are both TF2 servers suffering? You might wanna try fixing your own rates if nothing else works.

Team Fortress 2 doesn't do 100 tick, maximum is 66

[Spartanfrog]

Why doesnt it do 100? A bug?

[Drocona]

Yup, it seems to be a bug but I'm having doubts cause valve should have fixed it if it actually was a bug within no time like they always do with things like this.

It just won't go higher and I have no idea why not
