Look into high resolution timer. Such as the one used in Windows Media Player Simply having it open in the background without a file playing will start a high resolution timer.Then try setting the fps xxx cvar Clients not having their cvars in order (FPS pertaining to graphics,connectivity or whatever ) is a different subject.If all of this ticrate stuff is a help or hindrance. That's for you to decide. It can do both But if I can give a client that knows how to tweak (the client side) cvars more fps or whatever a better experience. I will try , be it 66,72,128 or 1000 FPS. This is if the equipment and connectivity can handle the load. just how far you can push it. This is like anything else in the world. A crap shoot roll of the dice.

But how frequently server calculates ‘information about position of players, who died, and all that stuff’ by its own?

The server sends messages to the clients at a regular interval with information about position of players, who died, and all that stuff. The higher FPS your server has, the more messages it will be able to send out about peoples' positions. This is not the same as a client's FPS. The client fps can be higher since the game does some fancy math to smooth the data out, and there are lots of things that happen on the client and not the server. However, if the FPS is really low, you'll still get some bad-looking behavior since the client will not get as much info about where the players are moving. --Gavin On Thu, Aug 16, 2012 at 4:41 PM, Dmitriy Bobrovskiy <[email protected]> wrote:No one at this time hasn’t give an explanation what fps does.

But I use a FPS Booster plugin. so the sys_ticrate will auto adjust with cpu usage. Yes sys_ticrate does affect the system globally mm_system (sleep_timer/s ) 1ms max 1000 fps 2ms max 500fps 3ms max 333fps 4ms max 250fps 10ms max 100fps i understand all of this.
