Hello. Having fiddled with this particular issue since the beta-days, sv_maxrate 50000 is sufficient for a 20 player server, unless you want to experience choke and weirdness on the clients. I would presume 24 and even 32 player servers would require even more.
I'd watch out for going over 80k though, unless you want to choke players with bad internet-connections like 512kbit downstream to death. We actually tested this as well, since we had a 512kbit-player (hi snowie) and 75k was the value we settled on. This, of course, is because you make sv_minrate follow sv_maxrate as to avoid having the default rate of the client (25k) being set. If you are cheap, you could set minrate to 30k and maxrate to 60k and watch the awe of the server population when they suddenly notice a DRASTIC improvement in performance on your server. To put them into awe but still keep within acceptable limits, sv_minrate 45000 and sv_maxrate 75000 would probably do the trick. -TheG On Wed, Feb 23, 2011 at 11:14 PM, Vathral <[email protected]> wrote: > Well, I'd like to work on an issue that members says they've been having. > There have been complaints of lag and such that I'd like to look into.
