How to change tickrate on a CS 1.6 server

Arguments

fpsRequired

Maximum server frames per second.

What it does

The dedicated server simulates the game up to this many times per second. Higher values give finer timing for movement and hit registration at the cost of more CPU, and 1000 is a common choice for competitive servers. It is usually set on the launch line, for example +sys_ticrate 1000.

Good to know

• How often players receive updates is limited separately by sv_maxupdaterate.
• Check the real server fps with stats.

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.
