VDS Server Fps and Tickrate Questions

Post by RageQuit24 »

There might be a post already out i tried for a couple of hours looking for it but couldn't find the answer to my question.

Ok how do I increase my servers fps and tic i want to be running 500 tic with a 500 fps

here is my settings.

My shortcut target has this line of code -console -game cstrike +maxplayers 24 +map de_dust2

I am running the srcdsfpsboost.exe

Current Fps is 100 avg.

I tired the modified shortcut to change the priority to high but no change. I feel kinda stupid because I have never had to mess with theses setting before always rented game servers never had an actual VDS.

I did read through the Windows setup guide.

I can also post my server config file minus my rcon pass

I recommend using our default server.cfg, since it comes pretty well pre-tweaked :). For the smoothest 500 FPS, use sys_ticrate 0 and turn off HPET -- the OS will make sure that the game server stays at 500.

Packet loss is a routing problem. If you shoot me a copy of your MTR to and from the server, I can check out where this might be happening: http://www.nfoservers.com/forums/viewto ... =25&t=4272

You might also try restarting your cable/DSL modem and broadband router, as these are common culprits.

Ok I have sorted out my packet loss issue I had to actually call up my cable provider my internet speed kept dropping from 1.6 megs a second to 800 k turns out my cable modem signal is really weak and there surprised I'm even getting internet. Someone must have hit our cable box outside lol. But to use winmtr you must disable the spi filter in your router or you will get packet loss after the first 4 packets are sent just a helpful hint.

Thanks for the update, and I'm sure that SPI filter information will be useful to others :)
