New Source Update

[hgr16]

I hope this is the right section for this.

 

I was told that all Source games can now only have 66 Tick/66 FPS due to this update: http://store.steampowered.com/news/6510/

 

Is that correct? I know inside the update that the fps_max line was taken out and fps was made dependent on the tickrate of the server so I am guessing that the servers can only have 66 tick on them now. That correct or was I told something completely wrong?

This is correct. I suggest subscribing to the hlds email list. http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds

Info is correct. Bye bye 1000 FPS overticked BS servers

Icekohl, thanks so much for that, I am now subscribed . Still see hosters offering them (not 2000 FPS, but 100 Tick and 1000 FPS lol).

no problem, just don't spam the mailing list, that shit goes to my phone. Only so many times I can stand to hear 'DROID!' per day! lol

 

On a side note while the fps_max cvar has been removed you can still 'boost' servers but they are mainly optimizations for registration. Requires custom linux kernels.
