As he stated private servers, I was in to the influence that he meant warservers. So all the rates should be set to max, without getting any lag. sys_tickrate should be set to a value that makes the server respond quick enough. I normaly have set sys_ticrate somewhere between 200-300. Setting it higher does not help. I have tried really high values, but instead got decreased performance and some strange lag even though the CPU wasn't maxed out.
Even if they are empty 95% of the time, the last 5% may be occupied at the same time. So you should not run more servers than it can handle at peak. Overbooking in a gameserver environment is not a good thing. It's timecritical and needs to be operate smoothly. Its not like a webserver, where you can wait a couple of extra seconds for the server to respond to your request. /Bjorn On Mon, 30 Jan 2006, Gamefuel Support wrote: > True, but it still depends on what his settings are (tickrate, > sv_maxrate, etc, etc) and how busy these servers will be.
