Server Tickrate

Posted: Mon Jan 20, 2014 6:35 pm Post subject: Server Tickrate

When the server is full the tickrate goes all over the shop sometimes....Variance was up to 3.5 for a good 2 mins on Office just now.....this makes it unplayable imo....is there anything that can be done about this?

Problems like pressing weapon switch and nothing happens....its missing button presses....some people seem to be coping ok but I dont know how! What about a 102 tik....is that an option? I've heard before that it works better with the engine than 128...or as Gerry says trim the number of slots....but it seems to me if you/we are paying for a 128 tik server...thats not what we are getting....other community servers seem to run fine on 128 with full teams...maybe this is just a temp problem...but I've noticed it here occasionally before....but nothing to the extant of tonight.

I'm not much help on this issue because my pc plays up with CSGO. Several times per session I have to restart the game because my fps drops to about 10. Tonight it seems to be better after I validated the local files.

All I can suggest at this time is stick with it and if the problem persists we'll try to do something about it. Reminds me of the famous line from the "Jaws" movie. "We'll gonna need a bigger boat"

If any other forum reader has a problem with the Casual server, please give us your views. We've had a pretty torrid time with comms failures, server "stopped" status and other issues. Hopefully, this will improve.

Sounds like server provider issues if anything.

Perhaps a better hosting server would help things?

To be fair, we have over the last 10yrs of running servers, found that our current provider has been top drawer.

Tickrate has been v bad again lately.

It's a known problem with Valve 128 tick rate servers with 32 players. There is no Valve support for 128 tick rate servers. That's why Valve official servers are 64 tick 5v5 match making servers.

If you want more details, have a look at these two threads.

Xeon Based Servers

Steam Update 23/1/2014

Also note that a Port-A-Potty has been removed from back of B on Cobblestone.....there's nowhere left to hide.....

The workaround for us is to restrict the number of server places to 28, which I will do soon....but first I need to activate reserved slots for paying members who occasionally donate.. It has come to a point where paying members cannot join due to a full server and clearly this situation cannot persist. Perhaps we need a third server....

TBF...the game is desgined for 5v5 so its no surprise it starts behaving odly at 16v16.

All fair and salient points.

The DM server is still hardly populated....perhaps a custom DM mod would improve this?

Why have valve designed the game for 5v5? All the maps quite easily accomodate 16v16 or more as per css etc.

Why limit these maps to 5v5? Its ridiculous. PLus cant use custom maps!!! They really need to give their heads a shake.

5v5 games are the best tho....16v16 takes away what makes CS imo...tbf they have completely rejuvinated a dying competetive PC FPS scene with the release of GO....which can only be a good thing.

It is odd that several large (rush) type CSGO servers exist with 40 or even 42 places. You can see these in the main CSGO server browser. Perhaps they are 64 tick?

It is also odd that just a few servers are running Workshop maps...like the dMw public Competitive server.

Iv'e played in plenty of massive 128 tik servers that dont seem to have this problem...but i dont know enough to say....all im looking at is net_graph and how it feels to play.
