When creating and playing on your Counter-Strike 2 Server you may wish to modify the server's tickrate. At Iceline Hosting, the default server tickrate is set at 128.
The tickrate in Counter-Strike refers to the server update rate. It's essentially how often the game server updates the game state per second. A higher tickrate means more frequent updates, which can lead to smoother, more accurate movements and shots in the game.
The standard tickrate for Counter-Strike servers is typically 64, but some servers, especially those used for competitive play, may have a tickrate of 128 for even better precision and responsiveness.
We have created a simple, yet detailed tutorial on how to change your CS2 tickrate.
