How to make SourceTV demos smoother in TF2

Type tv_snapshotrate 66 in the server console to record and broadcast 66 snapshots a second. The default of 16 looks choppier.

Sets how many snapshots per second SourceTV broadcasts and records.

tv_snapshotrate <rate>

Examples

tv_snapshotrate 66

Smooth demos at full tick rate.

Arguments

rateRequired: Snapshots per second.

What it does
