hi all, regarding my previous posts on this mailing list i would like to share my experience with you, since i found a solution for the midround-hitches-problem.
as most of you, we have mid round hitches (lag spikes during a round, which could also be seen via hlsw) introduced by the latest 2 (3?) updates. i tried nearly everything, but on thing i did not try before...and luckily this was the trick! our machine: - AMD64 3800+ - debian, latest stable - kernel: 2.6.18-4-amd64 #1 SMP x86_64 GNU/Linux first i tried an kernelupdate to 2.6.22.1 - same lag. luckily, we had a further machine with same hardware but older OS running also a 24 slot server with 100tick. this machine was running the kernel 2.6.8-11-amd64-k8 (probably the standardkernel shipped with debian 3.1?). well, this css-server runs perfectly smooth, so i tried to downrade the kernel on the newer machine to this one. well, long story short: that was it! could everyone experencing the mid-round hitches try to downgrade the kernel to 2.6.8-11? as far as i see, most ppl that postet their kernel-version hat a kernel newer than 2.6.8-11. note: i did *not* enable 1000HZ or preemp. everything default. hopefully, this fixes the lags for most (or even some) of you. feedback appreciated! greetings from germany, karumba _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
