Re: [hlds] Max FPS
I see, all our machines are boosted or running with HPET and other game engines that change the resolution to 1ms so just making sure we weren't going to have unexplained problems with srcds. - Bran On 10/17/2011 3:14 PM, John wrote: Henry is talking about plugins and other software that mucks with sleep calls, I believe. Orangebox automatically enables the multimedia timer as part of its own operation (and has done so for a couple of months at least), requesting the highest (1ms) resolution, so no external software is necessary to enable it; however, it will not hurt to run other applications that also enable and use the timer. UE3 and Q3-based games (including CoD) do not request a lower resolution than 1ms, but if they did, that wouldn't hurt, either, because Windows would just use the higher resolution internally and approximate the lower resolution for only those applications. On Windows, enabling HPET would be best with the new engine update, since it will result in less jitter. This is because Windows actually uses a 2ms resolution without HPET enabled, and 1ms with it enabled. Windows does not support a higher timer resolution than 1ms, unlike modern Linux kernels. -John On 10/17/2011 12:47 PM, Brandon R. Miller wrote: Hmm, well that's no good.

Re: [hlds] Dedicated server/colo hosting
I was reluctant to respond but some things need to be made clear here. Outbound routing is controlled by your ISP - meaning we have no control over INBOUND routing to our network. Savvis has been a major provider for our Chicago network for more than a year, the incident that occurred in late September was directly affecting the entire network and causing flapping to occur. Savvis was removed completely from the network until the issue could be resolved. That problem has since been resolved and Savvis was turned back up on the network. Since then there have been ZERO complaints about disconnects occurring. We utilize the Steadfast network and I'm sure there are plenty of people on this mailing list who utilize or are familiar with their network. The network consists of four major providers; Level(3), Savvis, TeliaSonera, nLayer and your ISP is capable of routing through any of them. I highly doubt that all 285 of your members route through Savvis, routing is different for just about every connection on the internet.

I'm assuming this is due to the server threads having affinity set on them but this obviously causes major issues on multi CPU / Core machines. I've dropped Valve a mail about this, so I hope they can make a fix available quickly. In the mean time those who are running servers on SMP machines should significantly reduce the number of servers

Is this by design, or is there a problem somewhere thats causing this repeat of content? If I delete the C:\Games\HLServer\ClientRegistry.blob file, it happily puts the content back into C:\Games\TF1\orangebox\tf for one time only, then it goes back to putting it into C:\Games\TF1\tf Am I doing something wrong, or are other people experiencing this problem, if it is in fact a problem?

SO I canceled it and just moved the 1st tf folder into the orangebox folder and it verified it from there on. I am guessing the directory structure has been changed after the 1st phase of the content download. -- ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds -- ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds

[hlds] Querying Steam Server List
This is a multi-part message in MIME format. -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] *** If this topic has already been discussed I apologize, I just joined the hlds mailing list again. *** We are experiencing a rather alarming problem that I would like to get some insight on. How do servers get queried in the Game List? Meaning what determines which servers get queried first? We just got setup on a new subnet range where the first Octect is '208'. After further investigating servers appear to show up based on my personal home IP address rather than latency. For example. My personal IP begins with octect '70'. The servers begin to list in the game list in this order. 70.* 71.* and 69.* 72.* and 68.* 73.* and 67.* 74.* and 66.* 75.* and 65.* etc. Servers in the 200.* ranges do not appear in the list until the very end of the query. This appears to be the case for multiple people from my investigating. When I set the following filters (Counter-Strike / US-East) it will sometimes take 10-15 minutes just for 200.* servers to show up in the list if at all. But if I switch the Location to US-West the 200.* servers show up much quicker same with the 'All' location filter. Is there a reason that the game server list functions this way and if so why? Thank you for any insight that you may have. Brandon -- ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
