Re: [hlds] Odd lag problem

(i.e. double clicking the icon) if so this is probably what's causing your programs, try running the servers with a program like firedaemon or another way of running them as a service, this way the program is always running as a system service and unaffected by what's going on with the sessions. Also id suggest using remote desktops rather than vnc / radmin as its built into windows anyway and so without vnc / radmin running will free up more resources. -- ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds -- No virus found in this incoming message.

Re: [hlds] Odd lag problem
We had similar issues also. You could try ultravnc. ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/ultravnc/ ) The files on the homepage are older than what is under the files link at the top of this page. They have some custom video drivers that also speed up your vnc connection itself. Ultravnc also allows file transfers. Since it is using custom video drivers for the vnc connection and normal vnc doesn't, perhaps the issue you are running into is related to your remote sessions releasing the video? Just a thought. -Ren [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] We have a very strange problem, we have 2 identical server boxes with identical problem. When ever we are logged in with either VNC, radmin, or remote desktop connection the cs servers on it run fine, no problems what so ever. But as soon as we close our vnc connection, the server starts laggin like an idiot, 1500+ pings, freezes sometimes, connection errors etc. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds

Re: [hlds] Odd lag problem
Another stupid question (just related to problems I've had)if you remote in from a different PC than normal, does it not cause the lag? There seems to be something really freaky with how win2k3 (I know you say XP, but might be similar), deals with connections it already knows. Be interesting if it doesn't cause it from a totally different PC remoting in (which is exactly what we had, I always had to remote in from a 2nd machine, couldn't if I used my normal one as it would cause lag and various other anomolies). ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
Re: [hlds] Odd lag problem
Ill try explain the situation better. Server runs a hlds procces in the background. When i log in from either my pc, or any other server with vnc/radmin/remote desktop the pings in the cs server are absolutely wonder full. But as soon as i close the VNC/radmin/remote (what ever u logon with) connection the server starts lagging 1500 pings, then timeouts, then runs fine, then lag, time outs etc. On the EXACT moment i log in with one of the apps again, the pings go real low again. - Original Message - From: Ian mu [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Sent: Tuesday, February 08, 2005 10:29 PM Subject: Re: [hlds] Odd lag problem Another stupid question (just related to problems I've had)if you remote in from a different PC than normal, does it not cause the lag?

Re: [hlds] Odd lag problem
Has anyone watched the box when this happens to see if there are any processes using CPU or bandwidth? I would think that whatever the cause of the lag, it would be visible in the form of excessive cpu consumption (which can be associated with some process), excessive bandwidth consumption, or maybe just hlds sitting there and lagging for no obvious reason. - Original Message - From: Saint K.

Re: [hlds] Odd lag problem
I seem to remember a way to speed up your FPS on the server was to open a seperate application affecting video (i.e. a flash animation). I dunno, trying to search my internal memory, but old age is getting in the way and clouding it up. Anyone else remember something about that, or is it just me getting old? :) I guess my point is, could it be related to that same video issue? especially if the pings go down, WHEN you connect? Also, have you checked out the performance on the box when the pings go up/down? Once again, old age getting in the way here, and I don't remember if you said you were or not. ;) Thanks, -Ren Ill try explain the situation better. Server runs a hlds procces in the background.

Re: [hlds] Odd lag problem
Yea we've also tried running the file, it brings down the server to a constant 100 ping when ur logged out of vnc.

Running mplayer2 with an avi loaded helps.
