You don't need high FPS. You only need 66fps with 66 tickrate (hz) on 
the OrangeBox engine.


Anyone who says you need high FPS on the orangebox engine has an 
electrical fire in their heads.

Munra,

Looks like you got what you wanted, you set?  If not I can zip up and attach
the file here that I use.

I also use HPET and run 2 1000fps private TF2 servers and people generally
see a difference. I'm not sure it's the 1000fps more than it's the fact that
this server runs only 6 servers.

In most cases, in order to get 1000 FPS in a Source server under Windows,
you need to have a processor and motherboard that supports High Precision
Event Timer(HPET) - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Precision_Event_Timer
on its chipset and BIOS features, run a timer booster program and set your
server's rates accordingly (I have not tried it with just HPET enabled and
no timer software, so I cannot attest it working with HPET only).

I have successfully run 1000 FPS servers but honestly, in spite of all the
hype about 1000 FPS from some gamers, no one I personally know has ever been
able to tell the difference between 500 FPS and 1000 FPS while playing
games. 

As for what we get for FPS with booster software, as long as you set your
rates (fps_max setting) properly, a Source server should get a consistent
512 fps.

Take care...

Wow, 5 lines of code for the HiRes Timer and someone pastes them into a
project that requires .NET and builds an installer... Had he used VC6 he'd
have a single EXE file Windows-Service that'd run on Win 3.11 and up. (just

Anyway, how much FPS do you guys actually get with this thing? Up to 512? At
least thats what I've always been getting on all my 2003 servers, without
running a booster.
I tried it once and it didnt make a difference.

 This timer requires the Microsoft .net 1.1 framework package be loaded 
 on your box first. It can be found here:
 http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyId=262D25E3-F
 589-4842-8157-034D1E7CF3A3displaylang=en
 http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyId=262D25E3-
 F589-4842-8157-034D1E7CF3A3displaylang=en

 Once installed, the timer runs as a Windows Service so there's no 
 need to logon and start it each time the box is rebooted. It works 
 perfectly for me and has for several years.

 Just a quick note about the Microsoft.net 1.1 framework installer. 
 When installing the .net package, you will likely get a warning from 
 Windows that the package is not designed to run under Windows 2008, 
 but it will allow you to ignore the warning and continue with the 
 install. I have loaded Microsoft.net 1.1 on at least 25 Windows 2008 
 dedicated server boxes and never once had an issue with it screwing
anything up.

 Have a good one.

The server is on its way to the data center now.  Once it is there I will

I'm almost positive (just a caution) that you'll need the fps booster
regardless of HPET.  HPET just lets you set the fps value at startup to 0,
which puts the fps at 1,000.

2011-03-12 Thread turb0z
There would be no difference in performance with HPET on or off for anything
under 1000fps.

I will tell you that running 1000fps servers is heavy on the cpu.  My 24
slot 500fps uses approximately 7% cpu when full, while one 14 slot private
1000fps TF2 server will run at about 24% cpu load when full.  I dedicate one
private server per two cores.  I'm running a Core2Quad Q9550 just as a point
of reference.

Hope this helps.

on its chipset and BIOS features, run a timer booster program and set your
server's rates accordingly (I have not tried it with just HPET enabled and
no timer software, so I cannot attest it working with HPET only).

I have successfully run 1000 FPS servers but honestly, in spite of all the
hype about 1000 FPS from some gamers, no one I personally know has ever been
able to tell the difference between 500 FPS and 1000 FPS while playing
games. 

As for what we get for FPS with booster software, as long as you set your
rates (fps_max setting) properly, a Source server should get a consistent
512 fps.

Take care...

Hey guys,

I have read in many places that you can run source servers with higher 
fps right out of the box with 2008.  This does not seem to be the case 
with me,  2008 on fresh install still limits fps at 64.


Any suggestions on how do this without using pingbooster/srcdsfpsboost?

2011-03-10 Thread Team BOOM!
Below a link to the one I use on my Windows 2008 64-bit dedicated server.

 

http://www.boomgaming.net/downloads/HiResTimer.zip

 

This timer requires the Microsoft .net 1.1 framework package be loaded on
your box first. It can be found here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyId=262D25E3-F589-48
42-8157-034D1E7CF3A3
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyId=262D25E3-F589-4
842-8157-034D1E7CF3A3displaylang=en displaylang=en

 

Once installed, the timer runs as a Windows Service so there's no need to
logon and start it each time the box is rebooted. It works perfectly for me
and has for several years.

 

Just a quick note about the Microsoft.net 1.1 framework installer. When
installing the .net package, you will likely get a warning from Windows that
the package is not designed to run under Windows 2008, but it will allow you
to ignore the warning and continue with the install. I have loaded
Microsoft.net 1.1 on at least 25 Windows 2008 dedicated server boxes and
never once had an issue with it screwing anything up.

 

Have a good one.

Wow, 5 lines of code for the HiRes Timer and someone pastes them into a 
project that requires .NET and builds an installer... Had he used VC6 
he'd have a single EXE file Windows-Service that'd run on Win 3.11 and 
up. (just kidding)


Anyway, how much FPS do you guys actually get with this thing? Up to 
512? At least thats what I've always been getting on all my 2003 
servers, without running a booster.

I tried it once and it didnt make a difference.

In most cases, in order to get 1000 FPS in a Source server under Windows,
you need to have a processor and motherboard that supports High Precision

on its chipset and BIOS features, run a timer booster program and set your

able to tell the difference between 500 FPS and 1000 FPS while playing
games. 

As for what we get for FPS with booster software, as long as you set your
rates (fps_max setting) properly, a Source server should get a consistent
512 fps.

Take care...

With 2003 or 2008 I have never gotten more than 64 fps without a booster.  

The file listed on whispers tikirate wiki page works fine on 2008
http://whisper.ausgamers.com/wiki/index.php/Tickrate#Instructions

I am not try to get 1000 fps because that is just useless but again I see
forum posts and other mailing list claiming they are doing it without a 3rd
party program running so I guess I was just more curious then anything,

Wow, 5 lines of code for the HiRes Timer and someone pastes them into a
project that requires .NET and builds an installer... Had he used VC6 he'd
have a single EXE file Windows-Service that'd run on Win 3.11 and up. (just
kidding)

Anyway, how much FPS do you guys actually get with this thing? Up to 512? At
least thats what I've always been getting on all my 2003 servers, without
running a booster.
I tried it once and it didnt make a difference.

 This timer requires the Microsoft .net 1.1 framework package be loaded 
 on your box first. It can be found here:
 http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyId=262D25E3-F
 589-4842-8157-034D1E7CF3A3displaylang=en
 http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyId=262D25E3-
 F589-4842-8157-034D1E7CF3A3displaylang=en

 Once installed, the timer runs as a Windows Service so there's no 
 need to logon and start it each time the box is rebooted. It works 
 perfectly for me and has for several years.

 Just a quick note about the Microsoft.net 1.1 framework installer. 
 When installing the .net package, you will likely get a warning from 
 Windows that the package is not designed to run under Windows 2008, 
 but it will allow you to ignore the warning and continue with the 
 install. I have loaded Microsoft.net 1.1 on at least 25 Windows 2008 
 dedicated server boxes and never once had an issue with it screwing
anything up.

 Have a good one.

 Can I get a link to that. I can't seem to get mine to work with 2008.

 Any reason why you don't want to run it? Uses no resources and gets 
 the job done.

 Hey guys,

 I have read in many places that you can run source servers with higher 
 fps right out of the box with 2008. This does not seem to be the case 
 with me, 2008 on fresh install still limits fps at 64.

 Any suggestions on how do this without using pingbooster/srcdsfpsboost?
