Hi my server runs off a vps and my players pings are high as hell
100-300+
how can i fix

Re: vps player ping

the more players the higher their ping gets

my vps location is in germany

Re: vps player ping

It depends on players location, if they live near at germany then it should be good.

Re: vps player ping

the thing is. when more players are on server the higher their ping gets it goes from 200-500

Re: vps player ping

Show your server's launch command line.

Re: vps player ping

Make sure your server is powerful enough and not overloaded.

Re: vps player ping

If you have enough included traffic/bandwidth set your maxrate to 0

Re: vps player ping

Code:

pingboost 3

cl_updaterate 101

cl_cmdrate 101

Those are unecessary in server.cfg also the rate command as well, i think problem is bandwidith your upload speed

but your sv_maxrate / sv_minrate sould be 0, meaning HLDS default, and sv_maxupdaterate at best for out of country players should be at 66 and sv_minupdaterate default at max 10, since you forcing client rates with this command and if client doesn't have enought bandwidith it will spike a lot of lagg's, meaning in hight CPU both sides

Better use this https://www.reece-eu.net/drekrates.php but be-ware at upload speed, better use your normal bandwidith with 10% lower

And you need to do 3 upload test's from server
