Hi please could someone explain what server tick rate means...
Is a higer number good or bad??
Thanks all in advance
 
It's the amount of times the server ask information from your computer, so it can update your location on the map.

A higher tick rate makes for less lag, but much more download and upload speeds, resulting in more bandwidth use.
 
thankyou for that quick reply,
Is there a way of telling which game has high tick rate before going into the game.
 
Hmmm, sometimes they state it in their server name...

Just click on the word 'Latency' and it should list all the servers with the lowest ping first. If it doesn't, click it again.
 
Yeh guys, thanks. My clan server has 100 tickrate so I guessing that's good? :rolleyes:
 
yeah you can have 33 - 66 or 100
so you have a nice one there
