Rate settings for the new CS:S update

Post by Viper. »

Is there anything to change server-side in terms of rate settings? I know Valve have limited all servers to 66 tick. Just wondering if anyone knows any optimized rates?

All the old settings from your old server.cfg should still work well :).

They do indeed, thanks. One thing I have noticed is how stable server FPS is. Our server barely drops from 512 now when before it used to fluctuate between 450-512 depending on how many players were in.

One more question, would you advise using the 100 tickrate fix that is going around (link:http://didrole.com/tickrate_enabler)? A lot of people are unhappy about a standard 66 tick, just wondering what your opinion of it is?

I would not recommend running that, no. Reports have indicated that it causes quite a few glitches and poor registration, which makes sense, because the Orangebox engine is highly tailored to a tickrate of 66.
