Tickrate

Why on earth would a server run a tickrate of 120 ?
Also on FMJ tickrate is 20, but some very good players were saying it's maxed out and the mini is very powerfull because of this. Isn't 20 the standard tickrate ? Do I have this backwards ? Seeking knowledge !  Smiley

I doubt any server is at that number (120), performance would be worse. You would be asking for 6 times the standard amount of processing per tick. I think even a tickrate of 40 would be useless.

I think there is a post at FMJ where he played with the tickrate and things got messed up, so he said he'd never do it again. My memory's a little fuzzy on that, I think it was 2 years ago.

I'll get a screenshot later of server at 120.

Right, so why would these guys be saying that mini is overpowered on fmj ?
What else would make mini overpowered if not tickrate? max client rate ? Does anyone else think mini is over powered on fmj ?

Yeah, I agree with Helen here - messing with the tick rate usually messes up some of the weapons where they just aren't quite in sync.
EPIC has always said that they did a lot of testing, and 20 is the best overall tick rate - the optimum.

Are you possibly getting tick rate mixed up with fps (frames per second)???
I didn't know a server displayed its tick rate. Huh

So it looks like it has to be a "PURE" modded server - I assume before that command works?

That is ridiculous. And counter-productive. And ridiculous. But hey, it's a free UT 99 world, they can do what they want.

Hmmmm wow - there are some people out there that think if you raise the tick rate, it will put some speed or maybe some "zip" in the game or something like that LOL Grin Roll Eyes
Oh boy!

They are trying to make every bullet count. With a tic rate like that there can be no unaccounted bullets.
