[CSGO/ANY?] ForceRate

1 Attachment(s)

This is not my plugin, I have simply compiled it for Windows and created a Visual Studio solution to make it easier for others, I don't know how to compile it on Linux yet, sorry guys.

This is basically a choke fix for 128 tick servers, its apparently a better solution than changing net_splitrate or net_maxcleartime.

In this compiled version, I have also default the cvar net_forcerate to 2147483647 which is basically unlimited, You might want to decrease this if your server host has a bandwidth limit although this value appears to be fine on my servers.

This is the reddit post which explains more: https://www.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffen...28tick_servers.

Here's an updated version that should stop the crashing, it removes the use of a hook on GetDataRate (which was more of a holdover from trying to use a different method). I'm still not sure exactly why it crashed, but this should be far more stable.

It would be great if you could give a little install tutorial for noobs like me :)

Download the zip file in the first post and then copy the addons folder to your /csgo/ directory, Thats it :) (Assuming you are using Windows)

Could the SM developers confirm if this is safe to use, please?

Here's this MM:S plugin as a sourcemod plugin.
Thanks to Drifter's example for getting an engine interface.

This adds the same convar "net_forcerate" which defaults to "0" - disabled.

Edit: Added a check to verify the CNetChan::m_Rate offset is correct before trying to change it.

Re: [CSGO/ANY?] ForceRate

Thanks to both of you for the solutions.

I'm trying to use the Sourcemod plugin by Peace-Maker on a Linux server, but this leads to a crash on player disconnect. Using latest Linux sourcemod build 5929. A self-compiled version of the Plugin on Linux leads to the same error.

Would be nice to hear if someone else got the same problem on a Linux server.

Re: [CSGO/ANY?] ForceRate

Unfortunately, Peace-Maker's plugin leads to a crash on Windows as well.

Re: [CSGO/ANY?] ForceRate

It does exactly the same thing as Tobba's plugin, so it will have the same flaws. Though the linux offset for m_Rate was changed to 280 as well in the latest gist, so you might want to try changing it in the gamedata on linux.
I've added a check to compare the value at the offset with the output from GetDataRate, to verify the offset is correct. This should at least prevent crashes due to a bad offset.

Re: [CSGO/ANY?] ForceRate

Actually it doesn't seem like crashing due to a wrong offset - the server was working for a few minutes, players were connecting and disconnecting, but then it hang up and had to be manually restarted.

Re: [CSGO/ANY?] ForceRate

Thanks. Hasn't crashed on Linux for me yet. Will continue testing tomorrow.

Edit after one day of testing:
Used the Sourcemod Plugin for a day on a full 20 slot DM server without choke or crashes.

Re: [CSGO/ANY?] ForceRate

can anyone give me a linux binary?
would be pretty awesome :D

Re: [CSGO/ANY?] ForceRate

You don't need it, yesterday CSGO patch allowed to push rate up to 786432.

Re: [CSGO/ANY?] ForceRate

so this is useless now? or should I still install this on the servers?

Don't install :wink:

Use server cvars
sv_minrate 200000
sv_maxrate 0

Re: [CSGO/ANY?] ForceRate

just tried a compiled version on l4d2 and it dosen't work.
max rate on client is still 30000, hardcoded max value too. used net_forcerate 2147483647

Great addon! I had stumbled across this post because I am having the same issues on a properly configured server and would like to enforce rates -- is it possible to use on other source engine games like CSS or even TF2? I have configured the 'net_forcerate.games.txt' properly to recognize both as a test (tf2 and css key instead of csgo), the plugin loads properly without any errors. However, it stops at at line #102 in the function SetRate. Do I maybe need different offsets, etc in the 'net_forcerate.games.txt' file to match something different? Not sure what to do otherwise.

Many thanks. :bacon!:

PHP Code:


		
			
void SetRate(int client, int forcerate)

{

    Address netchannel = GetPlayerNetInfo(client);

    if (netchannel == Address_Null) // Line #102, STOPS HERE AS Address_Null

        return;



    Address rateaddr = netchannel + view_as<Address>(m_RateOffset);

    if (LoadFromAddress(rateaddr, NumberType_Int32) != GetClientDataRate(client))

        LogError("Rate offset might be wrong. Actual rate: %d, Rate at offset: %d", GetClientDataRate(client), LoadFromAddress(rateaddr, NumberType_Int32));

    else

        StoreToAddress(rateaddr, forcerate, NumberType_Int32);

}
