Re: [hlds_linux] TF2 high server load since friday update
Sorry, but I don't think an Opteron can handle this. You can check it by yourself: 1. Join the server, make some client settings: net_graph 1 cl_updaterate 100 cl_cmdrate 100 2. Join spectator and move to an area with many player action. 3. Move your view to the wall to have high client fps. Take a look to this picture: http://www.ronny-schedel.de/server_fps_drop.jpg This is what you normally see on a TF2 server with heavy load. You have high fps, but the red marked parameter drops, because the server is overloaded. On an ideal server you have always 66/sec (server updates to client) with a tickrate set to 66. You can compare this with a CSS or DODS server where you can easly have stable 66/sec updates.

So far, the teams have set up STV by themself via hosts like HLTV-org and like. Unfortunately, this solution is far from ideal. Therefore, we noe have supplied the league with dedicated warservers, and an equal amount of servers which is supposed to work as STV proxys. By doing this, we hope to give the specators a much better experience, and the teams less hassle. BUT! I have never done this before - and unfortunately the people who acctually know this is on vacation.I wish 1 STV client on the warserver, and max 255 specators on the STV proxy-server. On the warservers I have enabled STV, and the following settings: tv_enable 1tv_name "Hellfragger.no Liga TV #1"tv_password "hfliga1tv"tv_relaypassword "hfliga1tv"tv_maxclients 1tv_autorecord 0tv_snapshotrate 100tv_relayvoice 1tv_transmitall 1tv_dispatchmode 1tv_chattimelimit 5tv_nochat 1tv_maxrate 0tv_port 21005 Additionally, I undersand these settings should be in the proxy-servers config? tv_maxclients 255tv_autoretry 1tv_timeout 10tv_delay 90tv_delaymapchange 1 My questions are: a) Are these settings correct? b) Should all settings be in the warserver-config where the STV is, in the proxy servers or both? c) Do i need to specify any special settings in the commandline on the proxy server besides: -console -norestart -game cstrike -port "proxy serverPORT" +ip "proxy serverIP" -nocrashdialog +tv_relay "warserverIP":"tv_port" Would apreciate any help!!!
