Here you find how to reduce lag in every only online game and specially in counter strike game booster is also a good software for this purpose or yo may go to control panel and in performance option tick on best performance then you must observe that your PC performance is better than before :))
How to reduce cs server lag permanentaly follow the instruction below:
- Step 1 - The firs step is that the server has "Realtime" priority.
Start the server, press CTRl + Alt + Del, click Processes, find hlds.exe in the list, and right click on it, Set Priority - Realtime.
- Step 2 - The second step is:
- Go o the hlds.exe folder (from where you have opened the server), make a shortcut to the hlds.exe, then you will find in the same folder another file "Shortcut to hlds". Right click on this one, press Proprieties, and in the first raw you have Target, and there yo have something like HDD:\location\hlds.exe .
Now add -console -game cstrike -pingboost 3 +sys_ticrate 1000 +heapsize 250000 +maxplayers 20 +map de_nuke.
- Step 3 - the third step is to install HL Booster
- Step 4 - Step 4 is for more quick change of the map:
- Enter the cstrike folder, where you have the installed the server , find the custom.hpk file and remove it for good.
- Step 5 - Can be used as a script for rates:
Code:
alias "dslow" "sv_minrate 2500;sv_maxrate 2500;sv_minupdaterate 5;sv_maxupdaterate 5;echo dead slow"
alias "vslow" "sv_minrate 3500;sv_maxrate 3500;sv_minupdaterate 13;sv_maxupdaterate 13;echo very slow"
alias "slow" "sv_minrate 3500;sv_maxrate 5000;sv_minupdaterate 14;sv_maxupdaterate 14;echo slow"
alias "norm" "sv_minrate 3500;sv_maxrate 7500;sv_minupdaterate 15;sv_maxupdaterate 15;echo normal"
alias "fast" "sv_minrate 3500;sv_maxrate 9999;sv_minupdaterate 20;sv_maxupdaterate 20;echo fast"
alias "vfast" "sv_minrate 3500;sv_maxrate 20000;sv_minupdaterate 20;sv_maxupdaterate 60;echo LAN fast"
alias "rates" "sv_minrate;sv_maxrate;sv_minupdaterate;sv_maxupdaterate"
Add the file server.cfg to the script, in the cstrike folder where you have installed the server.
Usage: After you have started the server, write in the console what setting you want, considering the type of internet connexion you have, and also considering the type of computer that you keep the server on. For exemple, if you have a server on lan, write in the console vfast, or if you have a server where you have players in the same network you can use fast or norm. You can acces this script by "rcon" considering the variation of the lag on the server. you should not have any setting about the rate in server.cfg, listenserver.cfg, game.cfg, settings.cfg, amx.cfg etc.
- Step 6 - It refers to some setings that you should add on the server.
- You have the following settings:
Code:
log off
sv_logbans 0
sv_logecho 0
sv_logfile 0
sv_log_onefile 0
mp_logmessages 0
mp_logdetail 0
sv_unlag 1
sv_maxunlag .1
fps_max 600
You shoul add these settings in server.cfg .
- Step 7 - It refers to some settings that you should use considering the type of internet connexion you have.

You should add these settings in server.cfg, but not all of them. Add only the ones you think you need!!! It depends upon your upload speed!!!!
