Question for you all, i'm currently renting a xen VPS and hosting a 32 man server on it, it handles 28 players no problem but when we get 32/32 the FPS drops below the tickrate and ingame lag becomes apparent.
I'm considering two options: 1. Build a box and host it. 2. Find another provider. I don't mind switching providers assuming I get the control I want, I really want the OS to be Linux with SSH access. Anyone have any suggestions? I'm currently paying $60/month. If i were to build a server what processor spec's would you recommend to run a 32 man server on? The server is nearly 32/32 all day so i want something powerful enough to handle that, plus be able to support any 'bad patches' that can put a strain on the cpu in the future. What CPU's is everyone running for their 32 man server(s)? Do you have any historical data to show CPU usage so I can get a feel for the usage and how much CPU is still left when full. I'd really like to have the CPU sit at 75%CPU when full and playing a heavy map like hoodoo. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
