Few wired problems. TF2 Server

[Brandje]

Firs off, let me apologise upfront if this is a complete noob question, but what is the differnce betwee 66 and 100 tick? I see this in various threads, and sites, but I have not been able to figure out what it is/does.

Thx

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

I always assumed Valve intentionally done this - due to the netcode for TF2 being loads better than that of CS: Source. Hence, no need to run 100 tick anymore.

However.. still doesn't really justify why they don't allow it, or even if they will. Tickrate should be a server admin's choice (this is where i'm meant to say maxplayer numbers should be as well! But naw).

Effectively, its how many times the server renders world events. The higher the tickrate, the better the precision of bullets and accuracy of positions/vectors of players and objects (although most objects physics are calculated client-side).

Yeah but you cannot have have a 100 tick server with over 18 people.

It's only some people's recommendations not to run 100 tick servers with more than 18 players - but it can done.

Back when i helped out a previous GSP, we ran 30 slot 100 tick pubs (as are many of the big UK/Euro ones just now) with no noticable problems (assuming you stay away from maps with doors )
