Quit a few parameters you have set there.

Do you ever actually use Source TV?

I would remove them all from the command-line. The only one that is actually doing anything anyway is +tv_enable and that can still be set in the server.cfg. Obviously the TV has to enabled before the map which it will do when the map changes anyway.

Set them in your server.cfg i.e tv_enable 1, tv_maxclients, tv_port etc...

You opt out of Source TV by using the command-line parameter -nohltv which disables Source TV and closes its port (usually 27020). There is no need to actually set it in the command-line.

What is the reason for all the references to various CFG's in your command-line such as -tickrate {cfg1} and +map {cfg3}? Why not -tickrate 66, +map de_dust etc?

Well Im quite not used to it hence why I posted it. Could you modify it and post it here? I have no use of the tv so I guess I can remove that

Ok assuming that you are not trying to exec a specific server.cfg and are using the server.cfg that you have put in cstrike/cfg, srcds will automatically execute it so that can be removed aswell.

Try this one and replace the IP, Port and map as required.

./srcds_run -game cstrike -ip xx.xxx.xxx.xxx -port 27015 +map de_dust +maxplayers 32 -autoupdate -tickrate 66 +fps_max 500

Set tv_enable 0 in your server.cfg so it is disabled which will also save resources.

Well we have some 66tic Counter-Strike Source servers dedicated dust2
34 + 2 reserved = 36 slot

Our command line looks something like this.

-game cstrike -tickrate 66 +fps_max 600 -console +ip 0.0.0.0 -port 27015 +maxplayers 36 +exec server.cfg +map de_dust2 -preload

//Code: 66 tickrate server

sv_maxrate 30000
sv_minupdaterate 33
sv_maxupdaterate 67

sv_client_cmdrate_difference 1
sv_client_predict 1

If you wouldn't mind, could you post your server.cfg?

[nightrider]

Well I won't post my server config.
But that information should get you in the right direction.

I have trouble keeping 36 slots from lagging
as 32 is really the limit

You can read up on a post here at srcds.com

I mean I want to get as high as possible to 50 or even 64 at a chance.

Not a chance with 50 or 64 slot without dropping down to 33tic

You lagged like hell with 50 slots at 100 Tick.

Your Lag is reduced when running 32 Slots at 66 Tick Rate.

This speaks for itself and answers your question and it is highly unlikely that you will be able to get the Slots you are looking for on your machine even at 33 Tick.

The 66 Tick Server Rates have been give by a few of us and they are all similar and they are the main thing you need to set right in your server.cfg.

You need to work with you have got and you may be able to tweak further.

You can create yourself a nice server.cfg from this site here.

True that is a great config maker.
Your bandwidth will also add to the calculations.

Try this out even with the CPU number limited to a single core.
