server changing to 32 slot TICK 66 in a few days

Since noob gamers is more of a community than a clan i have decided to move away from the 20 slot server to a 32 slot server tick 66. Servers that are 20 slots and higher do not play good with a tick rate of 100.

The server will get a new IP and will stay in new jersey / new york city area. Nothing will change in the server everything will stay the same as it is now.

So much for playing here. The server could barely handle 20 people, getting about 56tick in at full capacity. Time to find another server I guess.

Hey arach1d, sounds like you did not have your rates set correctly

I knew that if i did this change that the server was going to loose alot of players. I'm thinking that maybe in 2 - 3 months the server will be back to normal number of players.

I'm sorry to see you go...

My rates are what I have been playing with since I started CS:S

cl_updaterate 100
cl_cmdrate 100
cl_interp 0 (sets automatically when updaterate is set)
rate 25000

According to net_graph 3 , the server sends out data half as fast as my PC sends it back.

So no, its not my rates. Thanks for trying that one though.

Edit: Just noticed that if the server is in NYC/NJ and I get an average latency of 78ms, it might be time to consider a host with better routing.. I live 5 hours from this area. I ping better to my Ventrilo and WoW servers in Dallas, which I am about 10x further from.

That's the problem right there bad routing. Bullet in chicago and he ping almost a 100 to the server. I ping about 50 to tf2 server that's in chicago.

The CS:S right now is being hosted by counter-strike.com and switching hosting company to gameservers.com they probably use different datacenters and different networks.

Glad to hear about it Night, but as for arachn1d, hope you stay. . . even though you own the crap out of me sometimes. . . XD

What type of video card do you have? What settings do you use?

I didn't know about the fps drop when alot of players in the server. Yesterday the server had 27 players the tick was at normal and my fps only drop to 80's.

For me i have a nvidia evga 8800 320mb video card. I have everything at default settings with aa 4x vsync off. My resolution is 1280x1024.

Uhm, I can't remember, so far, playing on the server I've been doing great so I don't think I have to worry about it, and the server never/ or has not gotten really packed yet so its good.
