Thread: Summer patch, tickrate

"Today we have planned to start our retail testing of high tickrate for PC. The end goal is to get enough data to make confirm our findings when it comes to server and client performance, and in the end allow Rental Server Providers to rent out high tickrate servers to players."

(Feels like I'm the only here who cares about it, but whatever, I'll jerk it off all by myself in this thread)

Tests ended yesterday, the previous reddit thread has been updated with the results, giving good insight on what physical servers will be able to handle

"High tickrate: THANK you all for the help testing this! We will now wrap up, and work on the coming (beta) release for PC RSPs!"

I realize we have absolutely no idea when those beta servers will be made available (could be months as far as we now), but I cannot help but be excited at every little piece of news.

I'll just thank you for the update. Potemkine will be here shortly to help with everything else. lol

Sounds like they optimized for 60hz, 64 man conquest large for once. Given how most people play at 60fps anyway, no need to make the server more unstable than necessary.
