Hello,
I am running HLDS server with CS 1.6 on my home PC.
I have upload speed of 5Mbps.
Is the file to edit only "server.cfg"? Or there are more places to edit.

Also, all the sticky posts here about rates are outdates and not working.

Please help me determine what rates, and exactly the commands I need to put on my config file.

I want a 10-player server

Thanks

This question gets so old. Just start with a range of rates and experiment with it, change it and see how it affects game play. For updaterate, I use a range from 80 to 100 and for rate I use 100000.

Of course it gets old, this game is over 20 years old. Means we getting older.

But, in these 20+ years it's the first time I run my server and every thing is out dates, these type of posts has to be rewritten every once in a while to fit the latest date.

Because nothing I found was updated, links, information, even the internet speeds did not match those of today's..

And you wrote only 2 server rates commands, it's not helping because there are many others, if you would paste here the list of the full rates you use I'd be happy

There's a whole sticky in this forum that answers your question, that STILL applies to this old game.

sv_maxrate "100000"
sv_maxupdaterate "102"
sv_minrate "0"
sv_minupdaterate "0"
sv_lan_rate "100000"
sys_ticrate "10000"

also set the priority of hlds.exe to High (high priority mitigates lag)
also set the affinity of hlds.exe to CPU 0

for in-game you should use:

rate 100000
cl_cmdrate 105 (assume you play at 100fps)
cl_updaterate 102
ex_interp 0

Redundant to post. Varies from machine to machine as well as a users connection. Please read the million threads posted throughout these forums.
