Hi all, a heads up to TF2 and CS:S server operators -
A near-future update (not necessarily the next one) will change the way that
framerate is handled in the dedicated server. All users, especially those with
very low pings, should receive a smoother gameplay experience with less jitter
and more consistent-feeling latency.
Another effect of these changes is that all Orange Box (TF2, CS:S, etc)
dedicated servers will run with a locked framerate, similar to L4D/L4D2. The
fps_max convar will not have any effect on servers. (It remains as a client
option since limiting your FPS can reduce GPU heat and overall power
consumption.)
Although we don't normally give notice before updates, this is a
potentially disruptive change for the server rental market, so those who
currently charge premiums for "higher framerates" should probably start
considering their options now.
Henry G. Hy While it's very nice that you are working on this project to
ensure that server will take less CPU resource, but i think that the hosers
would be much happier and would have much more resource if you would fix that
huge "memory leak" what the TV can doo. Memory compsumtion the second biggest
probleim whit the dediservers. Cheers Szoke
