Actually, not much once the level loads. We CRC appropriate materials (based upon your pure server whitelist settings) on map change so it needs to read a bunch off files off disk at that point (its doing it already anyway due to the map change itself). Once the server spawns the only overhead is users reporting files they load to the server, the bandwidth hit of this is very minimal however.
Client side it does incur a little more memory usage (to start tracking some things about files) but again its in the noise compared to the texture memory games use :) - Alfred -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Whisper Sent: Wednesday, April 25, 2007 6:35 PM To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: Re: [hlds] RE: [hlds_linux] Source Engine Dedicated server beta -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Huge news for online competitive Counter-Strike:Source 1 silly question Alfred Do you expect an increase in required server resources for sv_pure to 1 ?
