I have a C2D @ 2.6GHz with ram: 2x2GB DDR2 800mhz and video sapphire hd4850 512mb. I run a classic cs 1.6 dedicated server under win xp professional. My internet connection has 48 mbps download and 20 mbps upload bandwidth.

In the server's server.cfg I have these rate settings:
sv_minrate 0
sv_maxrate 30000
sv_minupdaterate 0
sv_maxupdaterate 100
fps_max 600

And in my client's userconfig.cfg I have:
rate "30000"
cl_updaterate "100"
cl_cmdrate "100"

The server starts in console with -tickrate 100 and -maxplayers 32.

Here is the problem, when I start a localhost with same settings I have no problems, but when I start the dedicated server and enter it, well, mostly no problems, but I have one and its very annoying: with the weapon FN P90 (B-3-4) if I spectate someone that uses it, it works fine, but when I buy it and shoot it in full auto, most of the shots look like they get skipped - no sound, no muzzle flash, no bullet hole on the wall, and when I empty the whole clip, it's like Ive shot 5-6 bullets only, but it still kills as it should.

When I lower cl_updaterate "100" and cl_cmdrate "100" to their default values - cl_updaterate "20" and cl_cmdrate "30" it works just fine. I havent asked if anyone else in the server experiences that problem. Any ideas?

For a start, fps_max 600 is a client command

sys_ticrate defines the server fps

most professional gaming servers these days use 1200 to 2500 ticrate

[superang]

Use This Config

//Rates And FPS
sv_maxrate "25000"
sv_maxupdaterate "101"
sv_minupdaterate "0"
sv_minrate "0"
fps_max "999"

//Booster [MUST USE]
sys_ticrate "768"
booster_autofps "0"
booster_cpu_enabled "0"
booster_cpu_floor "100"
booster_cpu_mminc "2"
booster_cpu_mmmax "10"
booster_cpu_mmmin "8"
booster_cpu_quiettime "0"
booster_cpu_spikelevel "100"
booster_cpu_spikemax "10"
booster_force_systicrate "768"
booster_lite_extra_sleep_frequency "0"
booster_lite_mode "0"
booster_minsleepms "10"

I think that should be enough.

Too high a sv_maxupdaterate will cause server instablity. Go here to find out your upload speed, then go here to find your rates. Too low sv_maxupdaterate makes the gameplay really choppy.

[superang]

nope, with 20mgs upload the value "101" is good

Woops, I did not see the first post. Damn, his system is good. Anyway thats a general advice.

I think I solved it but I havent done enough testing to be sure, but I added sys_ticrate 1000 and I removed the bots (I had bots to fill in when there are not enough players) because they seem to get bugs at higher sys_ticrate, then I saw a post that tells if I run windows media player I can get higher server fps then 64, and It now stays at around 512, and so far the P90 gun shoots corectly with cl_updaterate 100 and cl_cmdrate 100

I got the pc a year ago for about $650 and my internet costs about $10 a month Crysis runs at about 30 fps at very high and 1280x1024

sys_ticrate
default 100
min 0
max 1000
type integer
server side

This command sets the maximum “frames” per second the server can calculate.

SeriousSam, do you running dedicated server and client on the same machine?
If so, then set higher priority to server.

[SeriousSam]

I do run server and client on same machine, and I do give a high priority to hlds.exe
