A few weeks back I ditched windows in favour of linux as my hl server. Whilst many aspects of the game have improved and lag is generally low, occasionally lag shoots up to 2000+ and some players experience freeze - where their movements are seen by other players but their own point of view remains locked in one position except for rotation. During this time they can also se other players movements. I have not seen this happen on other server and I am not sure if this is a server side or client side issue. Although friends who have experienced 'the freeze' have well configured Pc's that do not experience this issue on other servers they frequent. I connect to the server via the LAN connection and have never experienced this problem but from a friends Pc own the road also on ADSL and from other plaers reports. Often kicking a player who joined in the last minute or two cures this, and sometimes it seems to cure itself. I am using a pipex adsl line through an alcatel router The server is running redHat 7.3, most of the time it does nothing but run hlds, X is not running. ps -aux USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND root 1 0.0 0.1 1368 444 ?
