Sweeeeeeeeeet, I didn't even know they offered 128 tic servers. I gotta get refreshed in my server lingo, for more than just one reason

Yea I thought the highest was 100tick, it was in CSS i'm pretty sure. Is this a new thing? I thought i remember them saying if you tried to go above 100 it would cause problems.

Not sure, guess we will see They have been testing it for a while now.

[Walking-Decoy]

Sweet, that was unexpected.

Alright they are upgrading it now, should be up in the next few minutes.

From Valve:
[quote]The server simulates the game in discrete time steps called ticks. By default, the timestep is 15ms, so 66.666... ticks per second are simulated, but mods can specify their own tickrate. During each tick, the server processes incoming user commands, runs a physical simulation step, checks the game rules, and updates all object states. After simulating a tick, the server decides if any client needs a world update and takes a snapshot of the current world state if necessary. A higher tickrate increases the simulation precision, but also requires more CPU power and available bandwidth on both server and client.[/quote]


Basically increases the smoothness of the game, the server processes faster and it has even better registry.
