Lag spikes on server..

[jdmmer]

Hello,

I have a server with 10 slots and mostly we play deathrun and other fun maps.

But the server have lag spikes every ~20 seconds. If you play deathrun thats very irritating.

My PC specs are:

Intel Quad Core q9450 2.66 ghz
2GB DDR2 1066mhz
500gb harddisk
Geforce 8800gtx.. not important.

My Server is 100 tick and this is SRCDS.exe:

Quote:C:\srcds\srcds.exe -console -insecure -tickrate 100 +fps_max 999 -game cstrike -autoupdate +maxplayers 10 +map fy_poolparty_v3

This is server.cfg:

I have some mods: Mani Admin, Deathrun, Mugmod, Gungame4, Eventscripts. And I have srcdsfpsbooster running.

Can I fix my lag?? I have read some tutorials but it dont work.

100 tick on that connection above 3 players is going to lag.

For deathrun, 33 tick should be fine, and you will get around 8-12 players.

[jdmmer]

Ok but is 33 tickrate not too low? Because we play also poolparty etc. How much players can play with 66 tickrate?

[Derek]

The problem doesnt really sit on the specs of the machine more of the network connection which is a home connection and its very very poor. I would drop the tickrate to 66 and work your way from there. Good luck

[jdmmer]

Thank you. How much upload speed do you need for running nice a 10 slot server?

[Drocona]

I can run a nice 10 slot 33 tick server on 800kbps

[jdmmer]

Ow ok, so if I set the best settings for srcds can I run 10 slots also? My pc using Vista(terrible), goes my server faster if I run windows XP Pro?

(sorry for my English im Dutch)

[Drocona]

No it won't run faster or better, just less problems to get it online if you use XP.

And yes, you can run 10 slots

Ok, but now I have buy a server for only €0.70 per slot. Thank you for help.
