Re: [hlds] New inexplicable rate restriction making 26x+ servers laggy.
I can also confirm that all of our 32 player servers have not been hit by lag that was non-existent before. My players (about half of which are paying customers) are understandably upset, and my in-box is being hammered with complaints about TF2 server performance since the update. I should note that we run very high-end hardware, with one 2.6 Ghz core and 2GB of memory dedicated to each TF2 instance, and never saw any server-side lag prior to this patch. In addition, our sv_maxrate has always been set to 3. Couple that with the fact that the intermittent timeout on map change bug still rears it's ugly head several times per day, AND we've been hit by the DDOS exploit/attack (until a community member came up with a fix), and I have to wonder exactly what WAS fixed in the last patch? Honeslty, why keep on working on new content, when there are so many game-breaking bugs that need to be addressed? I hate to see the performance of everyone's TF2 servers once they are getting hammered with even more traffic by achievement-seekers if the Scout update is released without fixing these glaring problems with the underlying game engine.

Re: [hlds] New inexplicable rate restriction making 26x+servers laggy.
It is a error with sv_minrate not sv_maxrate, upon setting sv_minrate 0 you can set your client rate to anything you want (but also not force a minrate), sv_maxrate will still limit the max value to whatever you have set.

Re: [hlds] New inexplicable rate restriction making 26x+servers laggy.
Ok, i have to mess with it more, i can confirm talking to many people who used rate 3 before the patch and didn't experience this, so i don't think it's directly rated to the 3 limit, but it may be.
