Re: [hlds] Windows Equivalent of Dynamic ticks in Linux?
Sounds like you really need to move providers. If your current provider wont even let you use RDP they have no customer service so are not worth hosting with. I appreciate there's the whole player base issue but if your not getting the performance due to them forcing you to use VNC then your going to loose those players anyway.

Re: [hlds] Windows Equivalent of Dynamic ticks in Linux?
Most of your posts make sense, pal :) I just shared the only painless way to control server FPS on Windows platform I'm aware of. Just in case you missed it before.

Re: [hlds] Windows Equivalent of Dynamic ticks in Linux?
-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Yes I am aware that increasing the timer resolution does increase the over all CPU resources used, the way Gigabit Nick put it, was that VNC was more adversely affected by the increase in timer resolution, or at least that is how I read it.

Cheers Whisper Turn off ACPI and run it as standard PC. HAL is the magic bullet when it comes to server fps. Unfortunately, Standard PC removes the ability to run SMP.

Yes, 100HZ. -- That is not exactly correct. HZ just increases/decreases the granularity of operations like sleep() etc. Increasing HZ also increases the chances of excess clock overhead.. HRT's like HPET are good for time sensitive programs like game servers.. Using TSC on SMP isn't a good idea unless you figured out a way to keep the clock's in sync.. 8254 isn't SMP friendly, and ACPI-fast is slow to read (at least on freebsd) ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
