Hi, At first I thought aswell that the rates were the issue, but I've tested (and just re-tested) it with a sv_maxrate of 30000, and a client rate set at 30000, but it will still give the exact same levels of choke.

"10000" ) ** NOTE: The real value is 30000.000 but the server has temporarily restricted it to 15000.000 ** 15000 is way too low to support the number of players and events going on, the server is unable to get the updates in/out to clients (thus choke). For Source servers with more then 8 or 10 players I've found that a good low choke server requires at least sv_maxrate 30000 (and you might need even more with 32-player TF2 servers). qUiCkSiLvEr ----- Original Message ----- From: "Saint K."
