The only thing that that does is setting the rate to 10.000 HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Valve\Steam value: rate rate 10000 can be set in the console or in autoexec.cfg as well. Altho my experience is that on TF2 a rate of 10000 is too low, I'd advice a minimum of 20000 or 25000 >________________________________ > From: Jesse Molina <[email protected]> >To: Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list ><[email protected]> >Sent: Sunday, 8 April 2012, 4:09 >Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] Poor TF2 performance on a dedicated server > > >I don't know about your particular situation, but for the money you paid for >this "server class" CPU and the motherboard, you could have gotten much better >performance out of a desktop CPU and board.
