Source based games - Packet Loss

[GameConnectors]

Has anyone had any serious problems with packet loss, which was resolved by fidling with server variables?

 

 

 

A customer is saying that he is getting between 1 and 7 (has an ingame monitor of some description).

 

 

 

Wondered if increasing the servers FPS or maxrate would help?

[ECF]

FPS won't help loss.

 

 

 

There are two settings that would possibly effect clients. One would be sv_minrate and the other would be sv_maxrate, located in the server.cfg file. The default settings are shown below.

 

 

 

sv_maxrate 15000

 

sv_minrate 4000

 

 

 

If clients play with these, it can cause problems. Of course he can also have a routing problem with his provider as well.
