Is there a way to increase the polling speed of the Steam app?

[shedletsky]

I got a private server running on a VPS.

I set the update frequency to be 1 tick = 20 ms.

This seems to be working fine except that now in the Steam client the state of units doesn't update fast enough and they appear to teleport around. Is there a way to make the Steam client poll the game state at 50 Hz?

I don't think there is any polling involved.. the client is using a websocket and the server pushes the data to the client.

I think the problem is the animations of the creeps that is drawn by the client.

The server caps the updates at one per second, faster updates used to nearly instantly freeze and crash the client

Check the config.backend.socketUpdateThrottle option here. You can add a mod that changes it like this:

module.exports = function(config) {
    if(config.backend) {
        config.backend.socketUpdateThrottle = 100;
    }
};

But setting it to 50 Hz is a bit crazy idea and won’t perform any good.
