They might also use -pingboost in their run command to get it that low in-game.
Try -pingboost 1 in your run command, then in cfg sys_ticrate 1000. Try -pingboost 3 in your run command, then in cfg sys_ticrate 500. Pingboost 3 will increase CPU usage, but has the most improvement in actual performance and lowest in-game ping. The following site has a description, but it tries to scare you a bit from option 3; just be careful what you set sys_ticrate to when using option 3 because that will directly affect the server's FPS (e.g. sys_ticrate=500, server FPS should be roughly around 500) http://www.hlplayers.com/pingboost.html ----- Original Message ----- From: "robg" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, September 12, 2004 01:11 AM Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] hlds says its using a pentium II? > Thanks...
