[CSGO](Solved) Low FPS for players on 128 tick server. What is the cause?

Hi, I'm running a CSGO 128 tick server with default maps but I've noticed that I get significantly(values between 50 to 100 based on the map; for example: on mirage I get 50-70 less fps than on faceit and on cache I lose more than 100 fps) lower FPS than Faceit(that is also 128 tick) or matchmaking.

These are my network settings, maybe I messed up something up here.

PHP Code:


		
			
// Crasher fix

"net_chan_limit_msec" "60"



// DO NOT CHANGE THIS! Required for Admin's ESP 

sv_parallel_send 0

sv_parallel_sendsnapshot 0

sv_parallel_packentities 0



// Server Queries

sv_max_queries_sec_global 10

sv_max_queries_sec 5 

sv_max_queries_window 10



// Performante | Configured for 128 TickRate | 

sv_mincmdrate "128" 

sv_minrate "120000" 

sv_maxrate "192000" 

sv_minupdaterate "128" 

sv_maxupdaterate "64" // Lower => Better performance.

sm_cvar net_maxcleartime 0.00 // Max # of seconds we can wait for next packets to be sent based on rate setting (0 == no limit).

I don't have a lot of plugins but most of them are made by me and I would prefer to not share the SC. However, what are some bad practices that would lower clients' fps?

Re: [CSGO] Low FPS for players on 128 tick server. What is the cause?

What if you rename server.cfg (autoexec.cfg as well) and launch your server with default values. Happens there any difference then ?

And problem could be map. :/

Hi, thank you for your reply. I didn't try launching the server without the configs but I don't think it would change much since server.cfg doesn't have anything more than what I've already shown and some basic cvars like hostname, map group, download url, sv_pure, and host_info cvars.
The maps are the "official" ones, I'm not running any custom/workshop maps.

Edit:
server.cfg

...simple task to confirm, do those settings have any affect. Ok then. I tried help.

*edit
If those FPS are from your game ? Maybe it is not your server, it's your own computer ?

Re: [CSGO] Low FPS for players on 128 tick server. What is the cause?

How many players were online at the time? Just saying, player fps are always client side. dependence on computer hardware and how many players are on the server. More players = less fps.

Re: [CSGO] Low FPS for players on 128 tick server. What is the cause?

stupid question but do you have a retake server? does the problem apply to all users or only certain?

I tried to remove the configs and the issue still remains - slightly lower fps(~50) than on faceit at 128 tick on de_mirage.

No, I am not running a retake server.

It really depends, but I can see the loss of fps at 10 online players.

To give even more information: Yes, some players noticed the loss of fps, but not everyone. I have players that complain about getting lower fps than they would usually get on official matchmaking or faceit server even at a low number of players(lower than 10). The server is running on linux on an i9 11900k @ 5.3 GHz so the specs shouldn't be a problem.

What I've noticed is that players don't lose as much fps as me. I think it's just my PC that is beging for an upgrade. XD
However, the problem of the fps loss is not that big of a deal in the end but I'm still looking to improve the client's performance on my server.

Thanks to everyone that took the time to give me a hand, I appreciate <3

UPDATE: By increasing "net_chan_limit_msec" from 60 to 100 the problem seems to be fixed. My fps came back to normal on the server at 15 players online. Thanks to AZzeL. I will mark this al "Solved" for now. Thanks everyone!

Conflicting settings.
