I don't have this issue on a p3-1.5Ghz 32 player server (process reniced
to -20) with 10mbps shaped up/down.  It's quite smooth, with low ping.

Not to say that srcds doesn't have issues, it has many, but maybe this
is an issue with your setup.

They do work, as long as you don't mind restarting the server every two days
because the FPS's will drop from 256 to 128 to 64 to 32 to 1000. At the 1000
range they are completely unplayable. The entire engine/netcode is junk.
Even after a fresh restart players "rubber-band" around the server and
there's nothing a host can do about it. I feel like they should put this
crap back into beta status and stop trying to make money off of it until
it's DONE!!
But that's just the opinion of one GSP, go figure.

Such a hard question. The bad news is that the "net code" is a junkheap :/

However, ticrate (fps_max in CS:S) is (as far as i know) just a logical
variable which tells the max. number of frames the srcds _may_ render / sec.
On the other hand, i set it to 500 - no effect. Because of dozens of other
issues (faulty hitboxes, crouching player gets "auto-headshot", even from
running/jumping opponents, useless rate settings, etc, etc) i spent no time
with it.

But, on win. servers it works (as i heard, but these are just rumors :)

Re: [hlds_linux] Currently available (and working) server mods

That's right. Subversion is a good "source safe" :D
sorry, bad joke :)
BTW, it's really a great tool.

BTW, lots of open source projects are moving from CVS to Subversion
. I've got a couple of servers serving
private repositories using Apache 2. It's pretty straightforward to set
up,
and Fedora 2 and up bundle it with a sample configuration. View-CVS
includes Subversion support. There's a very good online book explaining
how
to use it at .

RE: [hlds_linux] CSS Client server lookup on a LAN..Alfred?

[ruwen]

If you find a solution, could you be so kind and post it here?
Something like a steamproxy (which has all the content data and direct
only the logindata to the realsteamserver) would be great.
For the clients a little which you can use to enter one or more content
server
ips (the proxy ips).
That would save a lot of bandwith on LAN Partys.
