Thread: need testers to connect

we're trying to bump the L4d server FPS from 20 to 30 (yeah yeah, CSS, TF2, DoD all run at 500 or so....but L4D is limited by the program itself to 30). I've made some changes to L4D 1, 2, and 3, leaving L4D 4 unchanged.

please connect to 1, 2, or 3, so the server will "wake up" and start spitting out framerates. When players aren't connected, teh servers sort of hibernate.

thanks.

hmmm....no real differences seen on the hlstats server fps reports.

anyone know why/how we aren't seeing 30 fps like some other servers, and only 20?

we have fpx_max settings in our server.cfg, as well as command lines.

ticrate is locked for L4D at 33, or 30....not possible to do ticrate 66 or 100.

-fps_max and +fps_max are both present in one of the L4D's...but neither seem to do the trick.

investigate.

host_framerate 30
z_common_limit 30

Just a couple settings I found... Don't know if that'll fix it for you.

don't post CVAR's that aren't defined.

normally, to set this server fps stuff on the CSS/TF2/DoD games, we say things like...

fps_max 500
-ticrate 66 (in the command line)
sv_maxcmdrate 66
sv_maxupdaterate 66
sv_minupdaterate 30
sv_mincmdrate 30
....shit like that.

those commands don't really apply to L4D, which is locked at ticrate 33.

watch my steam thread about it.
