What if we as server ops changed sv_minrate to 6, wouldnt that fix it. Of course the people who dont have good connection wont do well with it but I dont know how many people that would affect. On Wed, Mar 4, 2009 at 5:13 PM, Nephyrin Zey nephy...@doublezen.net wrote: this post is about

That's a good point, though I'm not sure if minrate is 'minimum cvar rate setting for client' or actually enforces the minimum rate that must occur before they're kicked. If its the latter, finding a good rate to enforce (i'd think nearer to 48000 would be appropriate) might help. - Neph On

sv_minrate = 3 ( def. 3500 ) replicated - Min bandwidth rate allowed on server, 0 == unlimited Im pretty sure it ups them, I set min cmd to 66 and it put everyone up to 66 instead of default 30. On Wed, Mar 4, 2009 at 5:29 PM, Nephyrin Zey nephy...@doublezen.net wrote:

I've always been baffled by the min/max rate and fps settings a server should be using to optimize gameplay. Right now I'm running 4 servers on a dedicated box with what may as well be unlimited bandwidth (and CPU never seems to creep much above 5% usage). It's rocking Win2k3, so the max fps

For the asshats who aren't able to keep score. I resolved any doubt regarding whether or not sv_maxrate works or not. It does... I also believe all the lagouts I've been getting are probably due to the server admins not updating their sv_rates to a higher, undisclosed recommended setting. I
