So I was bored.

1.6? CSS? 1000FPS, you say. 2000FPS, you say. Well:

This goes to show you how silly I am sometimes. Completely unplayable; but using 24 time threads to services approx 42K/sec of time queries is pretty amusing.

uhoh I can see them all running for it now lol

Just proof of concept.

Great advertising gimmick. 1 million FPS servers

[Monk]

Not really

 

On another note, VALVe has told me in private mail that if the server fps is greater than the tickrate, the server performs no better. But then again, the hl1.6 SDK wasn't ANSI C compliant, and wouldnt compile without major hacking.

 

if(server->fps >= tickrate) { perform_no_better(); }

 

But basically, a high server fps just tells people how high HZ is set to, basically.. it just measures latency gettimeofday() 2 times and subtracts it and viola!

This is a stupid question, but one I do not know the answer to. I am aware that a 1million fps server is not needed, just as a 1000 fps server is not needed. But why would a 1M FPS server be unplayable?

Hyper accelerated game time...

 

Imagine a second in the game being 2 minutes of client time.

 

The best descriptive word I can think of would be "shitty".

[Todd Holley]

Knew there was a simple answer, I laugh at myself when I make things too complicated. . So is there a noticeable difference with a 2000 FPS server?

Weeee! can anyone say Matrix and they don't even need to code a new game. Naw I agree totaly awful play!!
