set:

Quote:-tickrate 66 or -tickrate 100

in the command start line. Also use around these rates:

Quote:// bandwidth rates/settings
sv_minrate 10000
sv_maxrate 25000
sv_maxupdaterate 100
sv_minupdaterate 30

[lassiv84]

so just add '-tickrate 100' anywhere in the start command line? by the way, thx for your info

[lassiv84]

in my run line i added - tickrate 100 and i dont know if it works. i see no difference... how do i check what tick a server is running? how can i check mine?

[skeletor]

it should be -tickrate 100 there is no space after the "-"

[lassiv84]

is there somthing in console that i can type to see if its working?

[Hollanda]

open netgraph ingame:

Quote:net_graph 3

in console

[lassiv84]

i did everything noted and ran the net_graph 3 and on the 2nd or 3rd collum on the far right the max i get 64-66/s. looks like im running at 66 tick. also i added to my server.cfg (just in case) sv_tickrate 100 and mani_rate 100 (i think thats what i did) any input?

did you set your maxupdaterate to that? cuz if you still have your update rate set to 66, it will limit the amount of updates, thus making 100 tick pointless.

[lassiv84]

what u posted there is what i have in there.... weird?

[skeletor]

well if you have that all that set right, then your server probly can't handle 100tick.. you should lower the tick to 66.

[lassiv84]

i know the rave is having a 100 tick server, is 66 okay/decent?

[skeletor]

eh, really from what I have heard 100 can end up causing more problems then its worth, in some cases anyways, I have heard others that have it work perfectly fine. Most of the server I ever played on a regular basis were 66 tick, including all the servers I have ever ran. Never have I had any complaints on the performance. So I would say 66 tick should be fine for any pub server. I think 100 tick is mostly just hype.

Tickrate 100 is better than 66 (offcourse), but asks more from the server and network, and also the client PC.

If one of these 3 fails than you will lag and/or choke.

Just test if all works fine for you.

About getting a clean tick 100, above I gave you the rates for in server.cfg, also the client has to set a few rates:

Quote:cl_updaterate 100
cl_cmdrate 100
rate 25000

Set the rates at your client PC in console (~).
