QuoteIn Game Lag: A rollout of an increase to the sv_maxRate from 5000 to 25000 will be issued today. Instructions on how to do this on your server will come once it has been rolled out. Keep in mind that this parameter tune will help with some aspects of lag that has been seen.
11/10/2010: 6:35pm EST - The changes to all subscriptions have been done to enable sv_maxRate of 25000
In order to activate this change, simply restart your server at your convenience. On restart, the server will come up with the new sv_maxRate Setting
Our server was restarted at 07:30hrs today and hopefully the increased rate will see an improvement in the lag situation.
Please feedback here any improvements you notice in gameplay.
I love the way that Gameservers call this a 'parameter tune'. Any CS veteran would have been able to tell them that a 5000 rate setting would cause lag.
That was the default? Wow, I would have considered that a touch low when I was on a 56k modem...
