• Access to VolticHost Game Panel

• Familiarity with network settings and advanced server configuration concepts

1️⃣ Adjusting Network Parameters in Startup Settings

1. Log in to VolticHost Game Panel.

2. Click on your Counter-Strike 2 server.

3. Navigate to the Startup tab.

4. Append your startup command with network-specific parameters (e.g., +sv_maxrate 0 +sv_minrate 30000 +cl_updaterate 128) to optimize data flow between the server and clients.

5. Click Save Changes to update your startup configuration.

✅ Network parameters in the startup settings are now optimized!

2️⃣ Editing the Server Configuration File for Enhanced Stability

1. Open the File Manager in VolticHost Game Panel.

2. Locate and open the server.cfg file in the csgo/cfg directory.

3. Add or modify advanced network commands such as:

   • sv_maxcmdrate 128 and sv_mincmdrate 64 → Regulate command processing rates

   • net_splitpacket_maxrate 50000 → Adjust packet splitting to manage high network load

4. Click Save File once the changes are made.

✅ Server configuration updated with enhanced network stability settings!

3️⃣ Implementing Quality of Service (QoS) Settings

1. Navigate to the Network Settings section in VolticHost Game Panel (if available).

2. Enable QoS options to prioritize game traffic and reduce packet loss during high network congestion periods.

3. Configure QoS thresholds and limits according to your server's performance needs.

4. Click Save Changes to activate QoS settings.

✅ QoS settings enabled to prioritize game traffic and improve connection stability!

4️⃣ Restart the Server to Apply Network Optimizations

1. Navigate to the Console tab in VolticHost Game Panel.

2. Click Stop to shut down the server.

3. Wait a few seconds, then click Start to relaunch the server with the updated network configurations.

✅ Network optimizations are now active on your CS2 server!
