Two Questions Re: Firedaemon and Tickrate

Post by StealthDeath »

First question.
With Firedaemon, is there a setting so that I don't get the pop up on Windows 2008 R2 that says "A program running on this computer is trying to display a message". I get this every so often, just somewhat annoying. I'd be okay with all the command windows being displayed on the desktop if that's what it takes.

Second:
I have been trying to set up a CSS server to test out tickrate. I have -tickrate in my command line, as well as sv_maxcmdrate 101 and sv_maxupdaterate 101 set. Is there something I am missing? I am only seeing 66 tickrate when I do net_graph 3.

Thanks

I haven't played with the latest versions, but I don't think there's a working setting for that in the one that I've experimented with before (1.6).

CSS is meant to run at a tickrate of 66 and Valve does not support going higher. Doing so will generally break the performance of the game, but you can experiment if you'd like. Search around for a plugin called "tickrate enabler" to do it.
