I rented a dedicated box, and currently we are running 2 20 slot public servers and a 16 slot match server on it. So usually there is no more than 40 people on it.
We rebuilt the linux kernel and the match servers running at +max_fps 600 and it runs silky smooth. FPS stays right at about 500 even.
We are trying to get the public servers set to optimal conditions as well. The other guy maintaining the servers with me set both of them to +max_fps 500 but I read that anything below 500 will register as 256 or whatever. I am wondering if it would take up too much to run two 20 slot public servers at fps_max 600. I am assuming just putting them both at 300 each should be fine.
He also mentioned that rebuilding the kernel would allow us to run a true 100 tick TF2 server. I am almost positive nothing we can do will allow us to run at 100 tick. Currently he has -tickrate 100 set in all the servers which I don't think is doing anything. Should I set this back to 66 for all of the servers?
Last question I am trying to figure out is how do I figure out what the max/min rates, cmdrates, and updaterates should be for my servers. I had them all set at sv_minrate 10000 sv_maxrate 25000 sv_mincmdrate 33 sv_maxcmdrate 66 sv_minupdaterate 33 sv_maxupdaterate 66 but am just curious if I should change these?
I appreciate any help!
