-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Well if your networking is unable to handle more than 20 connections at once then it would EXPLAIN your fps problems because now your comp is stopping to check the 1st 20, then re-establish the incoming connection to the remainder and THEN it would have to PROCESS all the info to properly generate outputs to all players where once AGAIN it would have to go thru the same BS to keep all data accurate for all players.
That means more cpu cycles burned up which results in lower fps. I'm only trying to help and you'll have to keep an open mind when diagnosing such concerns or you will continue to have a full server at 30 fps or less.......... Since you seem to have written off possible cpu/memory problems there really isnt anywhere else to look. Networking also includes firewalls..... take that as a hint. -Ozz -------------- Original message -------------- > -- > [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] > what does networking have to do with FPS? i don't see how FPS would be > affected even *IF* i was only pumping out 20KB/sec. > > Tyler, i let the OS take care of affinity. all the SRCDS processes have > access to all virtual processors. > > On 10/14/05, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > > > -- > > [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] > > > > Man, it looks like you have done all the obvious system adjustments, all > > to come up with just 'It's when more than 20 players.......' > > > > So start looking at how your networking is set up (hence my question about > > nic card).
