I've always been baffled by the min/max rate and fps settings a server should be using to optimize gameplay. Right now I'm running 4 servers on a dedicated box with what may as well be unlimited bandwidth (and CPU never seems to creep much above 5% usage). It's rocking Win2k3, so the max fps the game generates at this time is 64. I have two 30 (32) slot servers, one 28 (30) slot server, and one 14 (16) slot server.
## (##) slots == sv_visiblemaxplayers (maxplayers) slots Do you guys have any rate/fps setting suggestions, or do you know where I can find this information detailed on the web? I'd like to know more about what the following cvars do and how they should be used to reduce lag/choke. (Obviously I know you can't change the latency between the server and client, but what I'm referring to are the short hangs that a client experinces from time to time.) sv_maxupdaterate sv_minupdaterate sv_maxrate sv_minrate sv_mincmdrate sv_maxcmdrate fps_max Thanks.
