Obviously 100tic is better but is it really worth it?

Can get a 14man 66tic server for £8.40 or a 100tic server for £12.60. Is it worth the extra £4.20?

Also, is lowpings a good place to get them from?

Ben.

Cool, nice one – cheers.

There is no such thing as 100 tick in TF2, if a server provider is charing you extra for it they’re ripping you off.

This. It’s hardcoded at a tickrate of 66, you can’t change it normally.
The TFTrue plugin experimented with a changeable tickrate for a while, but you would get all kinds of issues like jamming doors/trains/whatnot.

So either they are lying, or offering you a broken server. Your choice :)

(Or they fould some highly amazing way to change it without breaking anything themselves, which i very much doubt.)

Well thanks guys – you saved me money. :D

Never heard of lowpings, where are they based? Anyone got a server up?

there is no 100 tic in the latest version of the orange box source engine, i.e. the version tf2 and l4d use.

you can put -tickrate 100 in launch options etc but it’s still only going to run at 66 tic, you can check yourself with net_graph.

L4D uses its own engine, and the tickrate is 30 in L4D.

actually you can easily change the tickrate 66 is highest, but you can easily change the server rate to 33, jolt public servers are all running at 33 tick if oyu dont belive me

Probably because they set sv_maxupdaterate/sv_maxcmdrate to 33, or fps_max to 33 or around.
