I Am The 1% (128 tic)

[B-cock #1 641]

So, I have a 1440p @ 120hz and I would like to make the most of it on the only severs I play on. I'm sure there is a reason for it and I would like to know what is preventing it.

Our box's specs(mostly CPU) combined with the fact we host alotta servers on it. Throw us more money and we would be happy to oblige. 

[B-cock #1 641]

What CPU can even be used due to lack of multi-core support? I thought we were up there in CPU power. Give me a price if 128 would be possible.

Looking at a random host site you can get 1 slot on a 128 tick server for $1.30 per month. You can go ahead and cry as your shots hit the interpolated player models and do absolutely nothing.

From what I read they tied tic and fps together in a way. I want my 120hz benefit, dammit.

OK, we will bump up the servers but reduce them to 5v5 so the core can handle it.

5v5 war3 would be sexy

Coolness pls

Blame valve. We could host a 50man war3 server with no lag if they had support for multithreading

[B-cock #1 641]

GabeN pls.

So is the hope of 128 absolutely impossible with what is available then?

[B-cock #1 641]

why is it always war3? FUCK WAR3. War3 sucks ass. all it has are gay races, gay people, fuck it it's basically GAY EVERYTHING.

 

WAR3 IS FUCKING SHIT. IF YOU PLAY WAR3 YOU'RE FUCKING SHIT. FUCK WAR3.

I'd hate to see your option on JB

xd boondock is still bad at cs

144 hz master race bby

How many times have we been over this...

[B-cock #1 641]

I just want to know if its possible, if its is then how much it will cost. Its BS that they essentially tied in tic to fps.

Not without a bunch of lag on the server.

Also they didn't just decide to tie them together. They are separate things. Tic is basically cmds per second. The server can do 64 things a second. When you go to 128tic. It's double the work. Its not really tied to fps

[B-cock #1 641]

From what I've read, 60fps on a 128 tic server is much different than 120fps on a 128 tic. It would also explain why my game doesn't look sex.

Edit: I could still be wring, I was surprised when reading this as well.

Just in terms of physics really. Players and objects will move at 64tics/second compared to 124tics/second. So at 120fps two people moving on a 64tic and 128tic server, the 64tic server has half the information, and interpolates what's in between. More info=smoother

[ElectronicDrug 7496]

I'm mobile so I'm probably not explaining it very well, sorry

[B-cock #1 641]

So my dream is impossible

multi threading pls.

Coolness pls

GabeN pls

Thank you for the replies guys <3

[ElectronicDrug 7496]

Hopefully in source 2

I don't see what the big issue is. Like I said, the frames are interpolated so it's not like tic is effectively an fps cap. The stuff you see is interpolated which may make you rage about reg issues but it's largely not a graphics issue.

This... It sounds like you are complaining about graphics quality which had absolutely zero to do with server tick rate

[B-cock #1 641]

Not quality, refresh rate. I have a 120hz monitor, does provide a benefit at 128 tic as mentioned by WarOwl and an interview with a network engineer.

I was confused at first, and I get what you're saying but apparently it's a thing.

[ElectronicDrug 7496]

It does. But they're not tied together.
