Re: [hlds] Seere Choke/Lag issues
I've never ran an Intel/HT server, but I know if I don't specify the affinities on my dual core X2 it creates extra choke and doubles pings. If you haven't already, seperate your servers onto different CPUs. -go to your processes in the task manager -find one of the processes, right click, and uncheck CPU1 -find the other process and uncheck CPU0 This will leave you with 2 servers running on different threads. This might help...

Instead of wasting time with extra memory from IE and Flash, try finding that srcdsfpsboost.zip file. It is a program that only calls the appropriate Win32 timer functions to set the time resolution.

Re: [hlds] Seere Choke/Lag issues
So I've been banging my head against the KB for some time now. I've tried both WMP and srcdsbooster and I'm still unable to get more than 85 FPS server side. Any idea why this would happen? We have two larger windows configs and they both behave the same. One is an Opteron 242 and the other is a dual xeon 2.4. Other than the procs, the HW specs are the same. Here are my specs: dual xeon 2.4 Ghz, 2 GB RAM, 80 GB 10K RPM HDD. Two servers (HLDS_W DOD) 1 x 32 (Bound to proc 3, physical proc 2) 1 x 24 (Bound to proc 0, physical proc 1) Both servers are started w/ the following cmd line options: -console -heapsize 262144 -game dod +ip server IP +port 27015 +maxplayers maxplayer +exec server.cfg -dll addons\metamod\dlls\metamod.dll +map map name -pingboost 3 -sys_tickrate 66 Is heapsize a valid command line option for the server? I always thought that it was. Is pingboost 3 still a valid option for windows servers? Both servers use the following server.cfg settings. //--- //Server Performance (Base) //--- // sv_allowdownload 1 sv_allowupload 1 sv_maxrate 1 sv_minrate 0 sv_maxupdaterate 30 sv_minupdaterate 13 decalfrequency 30 fakelag 0 fakeloss 0 pausable 0 fps_max 300 //--- //Server Voice //--- // sv_voicequality 3 sv_voicecodec voice_speex //--- // DoD Extra settings //--- // // This Enables DoD's Netcoding sv_unlag .4 Here are the stats/status from rcon: 32 player server 16:24:01 CPU InOut Uptime Users FPSPlayers 93.89 123.44 163.54 171 105 24.39 30 16:27:22 hostname: [dgx] -=SkuLL=- 24/7 Charlie version : 47/1.1.2.5 3382 secure tcp/ip : 204.14.246.148:27015 map : dod_charlie at: 0 x, 0 y, 0 z players : 29 active (32 max) 24 player server 16:24:20 CPU InOut Uptime Users FPSPlayers 0.00 0.00 0.00 197 0 85.34 0 16:27:04 hostname: [dgx] [AO] 24/7 Jagd -Fast DL version : 47/1.1.2.5 3382 secure tcp/ip : 204.14.246.147:27015 map : dod_jagd at: 0 x, 0 y, 0 z players : 0 active (24 max) # name userid uniqueid frag time ping loss adr 0 users Thanks, -D - Original Message - From: kyle [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Sent: Monday, March 20, 2006 12:21 PM Subject: Re: [hlds] Seere Choke/Lag issues -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] The srcds booster can be found in the how to get the most out of my HLDS/SRCDS topic, in the steam support area, in the form of a link to download. ---Original Message--- From: Stuart Stegall Date: 03/20/06 09:04:26 To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: Re: [hlds] Seere Choke/Lag issues Instead of wasting time with extra memory from IE and Flash, try finding that srcdsfpsboost.zip file.

I think you're right on the sys_tickrate. I know that the + can be exec'd in game or at console and that - is console only. I do have sys_ticrate defined in server.cfg in another section.

-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] David You can also use a little app that somebody wrote, which you can find here: http://whisper.ausgamers.com/downloads/srcdsfpsboost.ziphttp://whisper.ausgamers.com/downloads/srcdsfpsboost.zip The file now includes the source code so you can compile it yourself if you wish and I can confirm that the version is safe. When compiling you must link this to libwinmm.a. Thank you needforspeed for the source code Thanks to trog for compiling it. Please refer to http://whisper.ausgamers.com/wiki/index.php/Tickrate for all other SRCDS tickrate fps information http://whisper.ausgamers.com/downloads/srcdsfpsboost.zip will only work for Windows http://whisper.ausgamers.com/downloads/srcdsfpsboost.zip will change the kernel timer resolution (aka pingboosting, fpsboosting) for Windows and is suitable for SRCDS AND HLDS. Getting SRCDS to run well on a Window box is a relatively simple matter of: 1) Having enough CPU Memory 2) Choosing the appropriate SRCDS/HLDS settings (player numbers, tickrate, sys_ticrate, fps_max, sv_maxrate, sv_maxupdaterate) for your Hardware bandwidth 3) Running http://whisper.ausgamers.com/downloads/srcdsfpsboost.zip Linux SRCDS/HLDS on the other hand, can require you to jump through several hoops to achieve the same result. Which requires the use of custom kernel compilations or upgrades to specific versions of the Linux kernel with the correct parameters set, which I also outline in http://whisper.ausgamers.com/wiki/index.php/Tickrate and even after doing all that, you may not be 100% satisfied with the results compared to what you would achieve on a Windows based SRCDS/HLDS on EQUIVALENT hardware.

Re: [hlds] Seere Choke/Lag issues
-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Lets just get this straight once and for all OK. SERVER FPS CONTROL HLDS Servers render frames independently from the Client. HLDS Servers use the CVAR sys_ticrate to control how many frames per second are rendered. SRCDS Servers use the CVAR FPS_max to control how many frames per second are rendered. Why do you need to control this? There are two good reasons for you to manage the server FPS. The number one reason is loading on your Server CPU. The higher the FPS the higher the load If you are getting more then 50% CPU utilization with your current FPS settings, you are either running too many players or you have the FPS set too high. HLDS Servers start with a default of 60FPS and can easily run up to 1000FPS (sys_ticrate 1000) SRCDS Servers start with a default of 300FPS can can also run up to 1000FPS but will require a substantially higher performance CPU to support this. Win32 Servers should be run on WIN2K / XP Pro platforms with HLDS on a 1 8GHz CPU and a minimum of 512MB of RAM and SRCDS Servers should be run on 2 2GHz CPUs minimum with 512MB of RAM. FPS Boost Unfortunately, both of these servers will not achieve these FPS settings on a Win32 platform without one tweak. In order for the server to get service from the operating system, there must be a high-resolution timer running. Normally, the operating system runs a low resolution timer that is only good for a max of maybe 100FPS. Running Media Player (you don't have to run a file, just have it sitting there open) will force the operating system to use a high-res times that will give your server the capability of running up to 1000FPS. Media Player requires about 5MB while in idle, so it isn't too bad. You can also run a Macromedia SWF file in Internet Explore and it will do the same thing. INTEL VS AND CPUs One thing about FPS and the processor manufacturer. If you set sys_ticrate (HLDS) or FPS_max (SRCDS) to 1000, most Intel CPUs running on Intel chipsets will run the full 1000fps (plus or minus a few). AND CPUs and Intel CPUs on non Intel motherboard chipsets may only run at 500FPS with a setting of 1000 It doesn't make a lot of sense and it may not be consistant from platform to platform but it's just the way the motherboard and the operating system works. WHY HIGHER FPS? The key reason to run higher FPS is the render time. At 1000FPS, the server is rendering one frame every 1 millisecond (ms). This means that the worst-case adder to the player ping is only 1ms, I.E.: the player gets more accurate data and can get it more often. At 300FPS it's only 3ms which is perfectly acceptable, but at 100FPS it's 10ms, which is a significant percentage of a 100 ping (10%). A player with a 100 ping would actually be getting 110ms response time from the server. Many AND systems will only run 60FPS without the ping booster which is 17ms. ---Original Message--- From: Ian mu Date: 03/20/06 15:16:09 To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: Re: [hlds] Seere Choke/Lag issues -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Heh just to throw a spanner in the works, isn't it sys_ticrate and not sys_tickrate?
