-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Dropping packets is a Server CPU issue
In any case, unless I've missed something, the OP said they were running 2 x 40 player 66 tickrate SRCDS If that is the case, sv_maxrate 10000 & sv_maxupdaterate 50 is woefully inadequate. But I am assuming that people on this list have paid attention to how much bandwidth a client is capable if using on a 40 player 66 tickrate server. In the end they are your servers, do whatever the hell you want.
