TOPIC: Tickrate settings ictf server.

Hey, could some kind admin explain me the reasoning for chosing a maxtickrate of 45 on the ictf server?
I asked this because I feel player movement feels erradict and jumpy, especially when there is too much ppl playing.

I'm really having issues playing on your servers even with the low ping I have (16-20), kinda feels like there is some p/l while there isn't.
All the time I see players semi warping on the server and it's actually a bit annoying aiming at ppl when they, in a instant, just jump out of your aim like their teleporting around the map.

I don't know if lowering the tickrate would solve this issue or not, all I know is that on clanbase the tickrate settings where at 30-35.
Iirc lowering the tickrate would also increase the ping of the players slighty, but remove that jumpy feeling and smoothen out the gameplay some more, just tell
me if I'm wrong with this statement.
I did some quick lookup on the net about tickrates, so I'm basing my opinion on the info I have read, I very so could have just misunderstand it completely.

I understand there is more to tickrate then to what I am saying here, but I'm posting this because of the strange feel of the server that doesn't seem consistent at all.
Sometimes it feels spot on, other times I feel ppl are kinda teleporting around the place, even the ones with low ping.

I also have this issue of skipping frames when I'm aiming tho not all the time, could be my hardware setup, but on the same token I can run ut2004 on a steady 200 fps offline.
So I'm a bit unclear what is causing this.

This is a honest question, so if someone could plz explain me how it is or why it is like this, it would be very much appreciated!

With kind regards,

Hi Sys-X and thanks for your post.

to answer your question why we use tickrate of 45:
Over the years we tried different tickrates and 45 was a good way to go on all servers.

Its hard to say if it would be better with a higher or lower tickrate. Some players asked us also to higher the tickreate to 60.

So i think the only way is to test it out in the next time.

Which netspeed do you use?

Hey, tnx for the quick answer!

And to answer yours, I'm using the default netspeed settings.

ok, then try to set the netspeed for testing to 15000. When you are ingame then use the command: netspeed 15000. IF your press F6 you can also see your netspeed.

And just to have a look at it: How many fps do you have ingame (stat fps) ?

I will try this netspeed tweak tomorrow, and my fps online is a constant 90 fps.

quick edit: my netspeed is running at 15000 like you recommended.

Yo I reset my netspeed to 10000, tbh it seems much better.
I did actually set it to 15000 years back I think, so you can probably disregard everything I said above.

Still thanks for the help you offered.
