-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] As far as I know it's supposed to be +sys_tickrate not -sys_tickrate .
-------Original Message------- From: Deacon - Digital Gaming eXtreme Date: 03/20/06 13:37:18 To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: Re: [hlds] Seere Choke/Lag issues So I've been banging my head against the KB for some time now. I've tried both WMP and srcdsbooster and I'm still unable to get more than 85 FPS server side. Any idea why this would happen? We have two larger windows configs and they both behave the same. One is an Opteron 242 and the other is a dual xeon 2.4. Other than the procs, the HW specs are the same. Here are my specs: dual xeon 2.4 Ghz, 2 GB RAM, 80 GB 10K RPM HDD. Two servers (HLDS_W DOD) 1 x 32 (Bound to proc 3, physical proc 2) 1 x 24 (Bound to proc 0, physical proc 1) Both servers are started w/ the following cmd line options: -console -heapsize 262144 -game dod +ip <server IP> +port 27015 +maxplayers <maxplayer> +exec server.cfg -dll addons\metamod\dlls\metamod.dll +map <map name> -pingboost 3 -sys_tickrate 66 Is heapsize a valid command line option for the server? I always thought that it was. Is pingboost 3 still a valid option for windows servers? Both servers use the following server.cfg settings. //----------------------------------------------- // Server Performance (Base) //----------------------------------------------- // sv_allowdownload 1 sv_allowupload 1 sv_maxrate 10000 sv_minrate 0 sv_maxupdaterate 30 sv_minupdaterate 13 decalfrequency 30 fakelag 0 fakeloss 0 pausable 0 fps_max 300 //----------------------------------------------- // Server Voice //----------------------------------------------- // sv_voicequality 3 sv_voicecodec voice_speex //----------------------------------------------- // DoD Extra settings //----------------------------------------------- // // This Enables DoD's Netcoding sv_unlag .4 Here are the stats/status from rcon: 32 player server 16:24:01 CPU In Out Uptime Users FPS Players 93.89 123.44 163.54 171 105 24.39 30 16:27:22 hostname: [dgx] -=SkuLL=- 24/7 Charlie version : 47/1.1.2.5 3382 secure tcp/ip : 204.14.246.148:27015 map : dod_charlie at: 0 x, 0 y, 0 z players : 29 active (32 max) 24 player server 16:24:20 CPU In Out Uptime Users FPS Players 0.00 0.00 0.00 197 0 85.34 0 16:27:04 hostname: [dgx] [AO] 24/7 Jagd -Fast DL version : 47/1.1.2.5 3382 secure tcp/ip : 204.14.246.147:27015 map : dod_jagd at: 0 x, 0 y, 0 z players : 0 active (24 max) # name userid uniqueid frag time ping loss adr 0 users Thanks, -D ----- Original Message ----- From: "kyle" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <hlds@list.valvesoftware.com> Sent: Monday, March 20, 2006 12:21 PM Subject: Re: [hlds] Seere Choke/Lag issues > -- > [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] > The srcds booster can be found in the "how to get the most out of my > HLDS/SRCDS" topic, in the steam support area, in the form of a link to > download. > > -------Original Message------- > > From: Stuart Stegall > Date: 03/20/06 09:04:26 > To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com > Subject: Re: [hlds] Seere Choke/Lag issues > > Instead of wasting time with extra memory from IE and Flash, try finding > that srcdsfpsboost.zip file.
