Re: [hlds] srcds co-existence problem (tf2)
see what the fps_max is set at.. and run rcon stats in console without the other servers up.. start the other servers up and do a rcon stats again, and see what the servers fps is.. if its a lot higher.. then thats it. steve grout wrote: > :'( > > is there anyway to stop this?

Re: [hlds] srcds co-existence problem (tf2)
I bet the reason why, is just running the source servers the fps will stay at the limited ~80fps or whatever it is, but when you start up cod4, which in itself changes the multimedia timer (like srcdsfpsboost does) so they will all use a lot more cpu. I am not sure about UT3, but I now cod4 does this. steve grout wrote: > sorry, > > meant to say... its running off windows 2003 sp2 server q6600 4gb mem > > steve grout wrote: > >> Hi all, >> >> doing some monitoring on the servers we have noticed that srcds does not >> co-exist well with other game server software..now it might be a setup >> issue our side so any help would be great >> >> just running 5 instances of srcds and having all the servers full, the >> cpu load goes to max 25%, as soon as we launch either a CoD4 or UT3 >> server the cpu usage goes to the 90's.. we have changed the affinite's >> of the servers so that the tf2 servers run off the first 3 cores and >> CoD4 and UT3 run off core 4.

Re: [hlds] Valve, thank you for virtually destroying my TF2 community.
I think I have to agree with this. It would be best if there was just one tab, but a more comprehensive filtering system. The tag idea is great. It will really help people find the servers that they really want. The custom tab throws a lot of people off though. I work for a GSP and its unreal how many "server admins" are complaining about not being able to see their server on the list, and its because its on the custom tab. So tab idea, great concept, but execution was a little off with the different tab. I mean it was worth a try, but just better filters would be more effective. Thats my $.02 Andrius Pirus wrote: > No, the best one is one tab, but many filtering options and that's > all. Why people should find the servers looking in 2 tabs. It's > simply annoying.
