Is there some reason my SFPS always seems to be 62 while other servers have a FPS of 60? I seems to go this on all the servers I run.

hmm i know when you set the bandwidth rate in the server config, i always seemed to get 62, but when u set it to auto detect each time, i get 60. At leased it always does this to me.

the max FDS FPS is 60. But it can fluctuate slightly over that mark.

Be happy it's there and locked. On the servers that have less then 30 SFPS they run into the problem that it lags like a whore.

I've been doing some testing, if I run it on my Xeon it has an FPS of 62+, but while on my P4 it only shows 60.

Guess it's something with the Xeon.

Well my 98 goes up to 63(mainly 62) and xp to 60. The one running xp is a better computer. See if you can find anyone who has xp and can get over 60

I've seen it on one other server other then mine, it'll only be there if its under 4 people and it won't stay for more then a few seconds.

why is there a limit Confused


My guess would be that because the net update rate (NUR) is limited to 30 updates per seconds there is little point allowing a dedicated server to run much faster.

Additionally the number 60 factors well, (5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30) so its easy to get a consistent frame ratio.

I assume your next question is why the NUR is limited to 30 again I would guess that this is an attempt to reduce bandwidth requirements, I am afraid that renegade is very hungry on BW as a result anything to reduce it, is a good thing.
