High Choke & Ping in TTT

Post by SoarinBolt »

Hello! So my friend and I recently got ourselves some Gmod servers, and we noticed that in our TTT server the choke & ping spike up really bad. I checked how much CPU the TTT server is using and it only goes up to about 13% max. That's with all bots and 2 players.

So I tried playing with my config:
cl_updaterate 34
cl_cmdrate 34
fps_max 34
rate 30000

I lowered the tickrate to 33 trying to find a solution aswell, it helped a little bit but whenever people spawn in it bursts up to 300+ ping and 90 choke for about 6 seconds with 24 players. Is there a way to combat this? There's no addons except a few guns, it's a fresh server. Thanks!

Edit: Just waking around shooting it burst up to 73 choke and the cpu usage was 5%.

Image I thought I'd include this, also that 13-15% max was false, I read it wrong. It's about 9 to 12% MAX and that was with 66 tickrate.

I removed all of the addons and got the same issue.

rate 30000 for your client is what you need to change. 30k is a value that should never be used. On your client set it to 1048576 and never touch it.

As for a server. sv_maxrate 0.

Thanks for the reply! I did that and it seemed to have helped a bit. But is this normal?

What is sv_maxrate on the server?

From your screenshot it looks like raising your rate didn't make much of a difference.

sv_rate is not necessary on the server.

In your servers console, what does sv_maxrate say when you type it in? It should be something like this:

Can you post a copy of your entire server.cfg, making sure to censor any sensitive information?

Solved, solution was setting the minrate to "sv_minrate 1048576". Thanks Soja! :D
