Lag problems

[[pi] Apollo]

Just recently put up 3 TFFA servers. All three of them are capable of uploading at atleast 500kbs. Hosting 4 people however with maxrate of 10,000 is still pretty laggy. Whenever someone connects to the server, the game lags. I'm positive that these servers should be able to host atleast 10, as I've heard stories of 100kbs cable lines hosting them. Any suggestions? I'm assuming i left something crucial outta the config. I'm also pretty sure that it isn't a hardware issue. 1.3ghz 512 ram machines.

Make sure you have the below setting in your server.cfg:

seta sv_fps "20"

right, that's the default setting for it. it's not in the cfg, but it's set to 20 i'm sure, i'll add it in anyway. anyone have anything else to suggest?

If it only lags when people connect, try setting the following as a client (not server):

 

seta cg_deferplayers "1"

 

What that does it "delay" the loading of skins until you hit tab (or view the scores).
