But ticks occur inside a frame, so if you have a constant FPS of 66, you will also have a constant tick rate of 66. It makes no logical sense that doing more frames in a second is useful, because no ticks will occur in them. Hence, there is no change in hit detection, because no more network updates are sent out, or no more client->server move packets are processed, so the world doesn't change whatsoever between ticks/frames.
A Valve employee could prove me wrong here but the proof is all in the Quake/Source Engine leak source code. -- Kind regards, *Saul Rennison* On 5 July 2011 17:15, Mart-Jan Reeuwijk <[email protected]> wrote: > fps_max <> server tick rate > > ------------------------------ > *From:* AnAkIn . <[email protected]> > *To:* [email protected]; Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list < > [email protected]> > *Sent:* Tuesday, 5 July 2011, 17:25 > *Subject:* Re: [hlds] Lower server-side FPS with recent updates? > > It's just because fps_max doesn't set the fps limit correctly on the > servers.

However over 1000fps has no bonus as far as I can tell. However, 66 > fps server side limit is grossly short.
