Of course more players mean more lag. When more players play on your server, the server has to calculate more (=> depens on your PC) and to send and receive more information (=> depends on your internet speed)

Yes, More Players = More Lag (if the connection of the server is not fast enough)

chances are very high that your internet connection is too slow. you need a very fast connection to host a server with that many players.

I suggest to host for 10 or less players with regular connections (DSL speed).

Don't even think about hosting a server if you are still using ISDN or a modem!

I wish there was a way to calculate how many bots/players I can have in server. I want a recommended sv_maxplayers value due to server speed and such.

I think I have sv_maxplayers 10 as default value. But I think all gets that, in CS and CS:S you get the value calculated due to your computer speed and such, wish CS2D could do that. But I guess it's not necessary. But I think 10 players is a okay sv_maxplayers value.

wth? that would be new to me

• your PC speed really doesn't matter. You can completely ignore that if your PC is not a 10+ year old superslow crapload of shit!

• your connection is what really matters. simply reduce max players if nobody ever reaches a good ping of 40-60 and/or if there are lags.

• letting CS2D suggest a value would be imprecise and ridiculous. not a good idea.

Okay, what you said there completely got me, well I understand.
I need to buy a new computer that's for sure.
Ah well. I won't play with many players anyway. Does the sv_maxplayers value affect anything?

If I have player slots on 32 does the latency become higher than if I had 10 or lower in player slots? I have always wondered about that.
