OK... I guess I'll bite the bullet on this one. Just what the hell is going on with this increased CPU usage? I notice that the update list mentions that hlds_run detects your CPU and runs the "correct" binary, I'm going to play around with the hlds_run script and see what happens. I've actually had to take my server down for the first time in ages to try and figure this out. The increased CPU usage kind of bothers me, especially since there's no obvious "feature" that justifies this extra consumption.
C'mon Valve. With HL2 just around the corner, don't finish up HL by leaving the engine in a botched state. It wouldn't do justice to your fans or Half-Life leaving the game like this. It's bad enough when Gearbox quit on us after 1.1.1.0 was released, please, don't do the same. At the very least, tell us that you're working on it or doing something about it or something. Anything. A simple "Working on the problem" will do wonders. > Message: 7 > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Date: Sun, 1 Jun 2003 14:56:41 EDT > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [hlds_linux] HLDS 3111c > Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > -- > [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] > I would be happy to see the CRAZY cpu usage of > this 3.1.1.1x beta FIXED... > > Think about people who host servers !!!!! > 20% more cpu usage than 3.1.1.0 ! > > Bah! > > DjoDjo > > > Do you know compare to 3.1.1.1(or 4.1.1.1 for win32) to the old version like > 3.0.0.8 the CPU usage jumped like 200 to 300 Percent ? > > 2-3 years ago, a 1GHz can handle HLDS + CS like nothing, now? a 3GHz computer > can barely handle a busy HLDS, I'm not sure what kind of code they're using, > but this kind of insane CPU really getting out of hand, compare to other game > engines that got far more features than HL does but they're using far less > resources.....sigh > > Chickon > > > --__--__-- > > _______________________________________________ > To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: > http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux > > > > End of hlds_linux Digest _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
