How to set a minimum update rate in CS 1.6

Type sv_minupdaterate 30 in the server console and players asking for fewer updates per second are raised to 30.

sv_minupdaterate

Lowest number of updates per second a client can receive.

sv_minupdaterate <number>

Examples

sv_minupdaterate 30

Common minimum on public servers.

sv_minupdaterate 100

Force full updates on a match server.

Arguments

numberRequired
Updates per second.

What it does

Players with a cl_updaterate below this are raised to it. A higher minimum stops players from using a very low update rate, which makes them jumpy on other screens. Keep it at or below sv_maxupdaterate.

Run it on your server

On a SLASHPLAY server, type it in the Console tab of the server page; the reply shows right under it. A value set there lasts until the server restarts. To keep it, add the line to cstrike/server.cfg. New to this? Start a CS 1.6 server first.
