This is quite an interesting topic for me - I don't know the inner workings of why a server will or won't run at a certain fps - but I still find it an odd issue.
I run 4 Servers on a dualOpteron64 1gb box, I was TOLD, use Pingboost 3 and sys_ticrate 10000 for the best performance... I knew for a fact that was bull, so I kept the ticrate at 250 - a constant 250 fps on a server is better than a 1000fps then 100 fps and everything in-between all the time on a server. However, my servers STILL fluctuate, 100-120-200-199-250-140 etc, i've tried it with just pingboost 2 aswell... 1 of the servers is running the CSDM mod - is there any recommended settings for something running a mod like that? Any help is appreciated - please come talk to me if you could help me run them all at an optimal-stable setting at #sl1ps.com on quakenet cheers. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Knight" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <hlds_linux@list.valvesoftware.com> Sent: Tuesday, September 13, 2005 7:01 PM Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] HLDS Timing issue on AMD64 You can acheive 1000FPS with a pingboost of 2. I never run pingboost >2 and i have never seen this problem on any of my servers. A pingboost of 3 might keep the FPS at 1000 more often, but as anyone who has owned/run a 1000FPS server knows, the FPS is far from stable anyways. Marcel wrote:
Hi, Some people want servers with 1000FPS (I know that's nonsense, but they want it) and you only get it with pingboost 3 and a high sys_ticrate. It would be great when someone has a solution for this problem. This "Timing issue" also happened on a P4 with Fedora. BTW: It's sys_ticrate (not sys_tickrate). It's also enough when you add "sys_ticrate 500" to your server.cfg. - Marcel | -----Original Message----- | From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:hlds_linux- | [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Sent: Tuesday, September 13, 2005 1:55 PM | To: hlds_linux@list.valvesoftware.com | Subject: RE: [hlds_linux] HLDS Timing issue on AMD64 | | | Remove Pingboost and add | | -sys_tickrate 500 | | to your start-parameters... | | Don't know why everyone is thinking high settings in tickrate AND | pingboost are producing an optimum performance?
