HL:2 {CS:S} Server Rate Guide

TIM3PORT · Posted: Thu Jun 21, 2007 11:06 pm

for a while now you don't need a rate changer "program/script" just setup your server to force player's rates while they play on your server.

this hasn't been asked alot around here but it's always a good thing to have more to read just in case :p

edit WHITE to your liking, leaving the red as it sits here is recommended.

Code:

33 tickrate server

Quote:

// bandwidth rates/settings
sv_minrate 13000
sv_maxrate 25000
sv_minupdaterate 22
sv_maxupdaterate 34
sv_mincmdrate 22
sv_maxcmdrate 34
sv_client_cmdrate_difference 1
sv_client_predict 1
sv_client_interpolate 1
sv_client_min_interp_ratio -1
sv_client_max_interp_ratio -1

Code:

66 tickrate server

Quote:

// bandwidth rates/settings
sv_minrate 13000
sv_maxrate 25000
sv_minupdaterate 33
sv_maxupdaterate 67
sv_mincmdrate 33
sv_maxcmdrate 67
sv_client_cmdrate_difference 1
sv_client_predict 1
sv_client_interpolate 1
sv_client_min_interp_ratio -1
sv_client_max_interp_ratio -1

Code:

100 tickrate server

Quote:

// bandwidth rates/settings
sv_minrate 13000
sv_maxrate 25000
sv_minupdaterate 66
sv_maxupdaterate 101
sv_mincmdrate 66
sv_maxcmdrate 101
sv_client_cmdrate_difference 1
sv_client_predict 1
sv_client_interpolate 1
sv_client_min_interp_ratio -1
sv_client_max_interp_ratio -1

Quote:

"sv_minrate" = "13000" ( def. "3500" )
- Min bandwidth rate allowed on server, 0 == unlimited

"sv_maxrate" = "25000" ( def. "0" )
- Max bandwidth rate allowed on server, 0 == unlimited

"sv_minupdaterate" = "33" ( def. "10" )
- Minimum updates per second that the server will allow

"sv_maxupdaterate" = "67" ( def. "60" )
- Maximum updates per second that the server will allow

"sv_mincmdrate" = "33" ( def. "0" )
- This sets the minimum value for cl_cmdrate. 0 == unlimited.

"sv_maxcmdrate" = "67" ( def. "40" )
- (If sv_mincmdrate is > 0), this sets the maximum value for cl_cmdrate.

"sv_client_cmdrate_difference" = "1" ( def. "20" )
- cl_cmdrate is moved to within sv_client_cmdrate_difference units of cl_updaterate before it is clamped between sv_mincmdrate and sv_maxcmdrate.

"sv_client_predict" = "1" ( def. "-1" )
- This can be used to force the value of cl_predict for connected clients (only while they are connected).
-1 = let clients set cl_predict to anything
0 = force cl_predict to 0
1 = force cl_predict to 1

"sv_client_interpolate" = "1" ( def. "-1" )
- This can be used to force the value of cl_interpolate for connected clients (only while they are connected).
-1 = let clients set cl_interpolate to anything
0 = force cl_interpolate to 0
1 = force cl_interpolate to 1

"sv_client_min_interp_ratio" = "1"
- This can be used to limit the value of cl_interp_ratio for connected clients (only while they are connected).
-1 = let clients set cl_interp_ratio to anything
any other value = set minimum value for cl_interp_ratio

"sv_client_max_interp_ratio" = "1" ( def. "2" )
- This can be used to limit the value of cl_interp_ratio for connected clients (only while they are connected). If sv_client_min_interp_ratio is -1, then this cvar has no effect.

Good information - Thanks.

EDIT: I will sticky this for you.

I must say TIM3PORT OUTSTANDING Info :!:

I set the cfg below up on my GS server.
As a client it gave me about 20 more fps.........

Code:

sv_minrate 15000
sv_maxrate 30000
sv_minupdaterate 33
sv_maxupdaterate 67
sv_mincmdrate 33
sv_maxcmdrate 67
sv_client_cmdrate_difference 1
sv_client_predict 1
sv_client_interpolate 1
sv_client_min_interp_ratio 0.01
sv_client_max_interp_ratio 1

Thank You

I want it to be able to set from 30 to 100, how can I do that? It forces it to 70 all the time and Some people lag too much witht hat and they ahve to use 40 how can i make it not force the players?

TIM3PORT · Posted: Fri Jul 13, 2007 8:17 pm

set the minimum lower to around 30 and the max to around 100

Are the settings in the first post for a 66 tick server or a 100 tick server? The reason I'm asking is that I run a 20 slots 66 ticks now, thus I need the best settings. And in a month or two I upgrade to 100 tick, and will need the best for that.

By "the best", I mean best for registry.

Thank you,

Thank you for the config! I've added it to my own.

I would also like to know how I would configure it differently for my 100 tic, 16 slot server.

Great post!

really nice post, I was usin those 100 tick settings which you posted before awhile back and my server was real smooth ever since.

Thanks TIM3PORT!

I'm using the TICK 66 on my 14 slot server. I want to know when I upgrade the server to 32 slots will I need to change anything?

TIM3PORT · Posted: Sat Sep 22, 2007 8:39 pm

stick to 66 until you notice performance problems.

Send in a support ticket and ask them to confirm your servers tick rate.
