Depending on your client side FPS you may not see a difference between sv_maxupdaterate 60 and 66. There is a difference however, you can recieve a packet every tick (you dont need more generally) if you set sv_maxupdaterate 66, and cl_updaterate 66. I run, rented on a dual xeon located in Redbus londen: fps_max 1000 sv_unlag 1 // this is time in seconds, our autokicker kicks at 100ms, so we shouldn't need more than this // we leave 20 ms for grace. sv_maxunlag 0.12 // apparently this provides a reduction in bandwidth useage. // i believe it's the default anyway, can't remember, but it's 'normal'. sv_instancebaselines 1 // source uses less that 10 bytes per second, however, map downloads use more. sv_maxrate 10 // this minrate is high, but we play competitively so we will probably drop 56k'ers // on the ping kicker with this minrate. a reasonable minrate for 56k support is 4500. sv_minrate 1 // logic would dictate that non-tick updates are not useful for accurate game data // as the gameworld only changes on a tick. sv_maxupdaterate 66 // as above, we're not interested in 56k support- so this is reasonable. // this allows cl_interp 0.05 whilst still providing a good (spare) interpolation time. sv_minupdaterate 30 And it achieves: 14:20:23 stats 14:20:23 CPU InOut Uptime Users FPSPlayers 20.23 5294.75 8822.13 34011 511.17 3 14:20:23 stats 14:20:23 CPU InOut Uptime Users FPSPlayers 20.23 5374.05 8851.87 34011 524.95 3 14:20:23 stats 14:20:23 CPU InOut Uptime Users FPSPlayers 20.23 5374.05 8925.50 34011 527.04 3 14:20:23 stats 14:20:23 CPU InOut Uptime Users FPSPlayers 21.54 5501.40 8952.79 34011 508.02 3 14:20:24 stats 14:20:24 CPU InOut Uptime Users FPSPlayers 21.54 5501.40 8955.15 34011 514.33 3 We've been really happy with these settings.

-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] sv_maxrate won't matter too much if you don't increase sv_maxupdateratre Also we found that on >18 player servers, hell most servers if you bump fps_max up to 600 tickrate 66 & sv_maxupdaterate 100 that you get lots of choke with sv_maxrate 1. You can see it quite easily when you play and measure your incoming bandwidth on the client on a server setup with maxrate 2, you will get up to 16KB/s incoming so long as there are enough players and enough action going on. sv_maxrate also seems to be a large factor on CPU usage (I dont understand why, it just does) turning it down really lightens the CPU load.

James, Probably should have mentioned this before .. But the settings I'm using on my server are close to in-line with your '> 18 players' settings in your thread you wrote on Steampowered - which I will say is well written and has good info for the admin wanting to tweak their server. The only thing is, since my server is a P4 1.8Ghz w/512mb of ram (dedicated with nothing else running on it), I decided to set my fps_max to the default .. And I also keep my sv_maxrate lower .. Because in my opinion, sv_maxrate 2 is more for LAN and really detrimental to server play (lag) when you get around 14-16 players on over the Internet. And yes, the full T1 connection could handle it. :) Also I actually seemed to notice worse results when upping the fps_max when a lot of players got on - although if you have a 3Ghz Dual-Processor server, that wouldn't matter I'm sure. I just believe it's not necessary and very helpful to server play from my testing and playing with it. I use the following on my 17 player (16 player and 1 reserve) server: -tickrate 66 sv_maxrate 1 sv_maxupdaterate 60 (I believe I tried '66' with minimal effects) fps_max 300 You might try these and see how your server responds. Works great on my server. Kevin ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
