(HLDS, _not_ SOURCE) I have a "problem" with one of my newest linux machines. (I do not know if it is a problem)
I've tried all pingboosts from 1-3, and sys_ticrate from 2000 to 10000. rcon stats reports an FPS of ~240-250 no matter what settings I'm using. I have other servers running 999 FPS with no problem at all. stats CPU In Out Uptime Users FPS Players 6.00 0.00 0.00 2 0 245.52 0 The kernel I'm using is 2.6.26-1-amd64 #1 SMP, on a DELL 6850 (Quad intel dualcore 12GB RAM) -----Opprinnelig melding----- Fra: hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] På vegne av Gary Stanley Sendt: 24. februar 2009 16:31 Til: Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list; Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list Emne: Re: [hlds_linux] ticrate, pingboost, rates - need help At 03:23 AM 2/24/2009, Kveri wrote: >guys I don't see any point running a server with pingboost (1,2 or 3) >with 1000Hz kernel, why?

The engine runs fast with a pingboost of 3 and a ticrate over 1000 due to the way the engine divides/multiplies the ticrate to step frame time. You really don't need highres timers on a machine anyways, because when hrtimers are enabled in the kernel the error rate is increased and you see significant jitter doing sleeps.. the long term solution is to write a sleep function that uses the rdtsc of the cpu and then you get ultra accurate sleeps (you'll need a reference clock though, like open /dev/hpet or use ntpd :-) _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
