In a very early CS:GO patch they locked server FPS to tickrate. *begins sprinkling salt* Like the answer to any good question, the answer is it depends. If your CPU, bandwidth, and players can handle it with the number of slots you have. The game is about setting bounds of where you think the the worst connecting player sits and the best connecting player sits. If you set your bounds too small, players may be forced to update faster than they can and unaccounted variance in network can degrading gameplay. If you set your bounds too big, you risk allowing low raters and laggers degrade gameplay.
I assume connecting clients are getting at least 33 FPS and their internet connection can handle it. If not, they have bigger issues and/or wouldn't want to be playing CS:GO anyways. Here is what I use on 128 tick servers. On 64 tick servers I lower the upper bounds: sv_minrate 30000 - the server default for this is 5000 which is a bit low since they increased the default rate for clients from 30000 to 80000 early on. Maybe they forgot to change default server rate too? sv_maxrate 128000 - the server default for this is 0 == unlimited sv_mincmdrate 33 - the server default is 10, the default for clients is 64 sv_maxcmdrate 128 sv_minupdaterate : 33 - the server default is 10, the default for clients is 64 sv_maxupdaterate: 128 Remember, sv_maxupdaterate, and sv_maxcmdrate are locked cvars so they need to be set in the launch parameter or with sm_cvar if you want to mess with them. It is possible your server FPS isn't stable due to bots which do use a lot of CPU which will degrade performance. Your server FPS should stay very close to the tickrate value and the sv in net_graph should remain as close to 0 as possible. If that isn't the case you should find where resources are being consumed or reduce demand on resources. *stops sprinkling of salt* On Sun, Apr 7, 2013 at 12:34 PM, Dimitris Zarras <[email protected]>wrote: > By the way could the number of bots be the culprit? > > I had set the number of bots to 16, but after lowering it to 12 I've seen > immense improvement. > > > On 07/04/2013 10:12 μμ, Benjamin Vergnaud wrote: > > sv_minrate 75000 > sv_maxrate 100000 > > => Server rates are not identical to client rates.
