Re: [hlds_linux] Now 500FPS max after update

[John]

Hmm, it does appear to be only processing on every other frame, so FPS 
is halved.


Valve, please consider reverting this, or adding a command-line option 
to override it. Many providers sell servers based on FPS rate.

This update has caused all of our server's FPS to sit at half the amount
it would usually sit at (~480 instead of ~1000). Is anyone else
experiencing this?

[michael.koeb...@giga-hosting.biz]

Yes, same on my side.

Can't say if this one is bad right now. Since orangebox update we used 
to set our fps around the tickrate - give it a try :-)


Only bad thing in my eyes currently is that there is no information from 
valve why the limited the framerate.

Yes, went from 500 to 250 by default and wont increase. What kind of fix 
this is? Not all of us had that 50% cpu idle usage issue.

Hey Jay,

You're running the SourceOP plugin, right? It's a new issue with today's
update. I'll be fixing the problem in the plugin such that it doesn't occur
in future updates either.

Re: [hlds_linux] Messages arriving 20 minutes late?

[Milton Ngan]

I am working on the mailing list issue. The problem is that the spam filters 
are eating up lots of CPU on the VM. I will be moving off the spam filtering 
onto a different box that can better handle the job.

Over the past year we have added more than 200Gbps of bandwidth, and we are 
constantly rolling out more content server to increase our capacity. You can 
take a look at how much bandwidth was used today on this page.

Also, are there any plans on Valve's part to increase Steam download

Re: [hlds_linux] TF2 Update Released

[Jesse Molina]

Network design improvement opportunity here.  They probably have 
different traffic types of requiring different levels of SLA using the 
same transit system.


Also, since the traffic is mostly outbound for updates, this is 
something that they could control with QoS.


Valve need a network engineer?  I'm the net-eng for the the largest 
supercomputer cluster in the state of Arizona and I want to move to 
Seattle.  =)

[Josh Stratton]

I assume it's via the massive list (however big it is). They're only able to
send out X amount every minute and I was included in getting it late today.
This is speculation though so they could just be slow today.

Got the email about 5-10 minutes after our servers seen the update was out.

Only took about 8 minutes for our auto update to get everything done for us.
Then again if there was more content servers it could have been up within a 
minute.

Re: [hlds_linux] How do i stop server that comes into a loop

[Jesse Molina]

"htop" is a really good process manager available on Linux (BSD too, I 
think).  Install it and try it out.  Remember to run as sudo/root if 
manipulating processes that your user does not own.


htop would make tracking down your lost process pretty easy, and 
somewhat graphical too.  It has a nice help menu down at the bottom of 
the screen.


Otherwise, do what the other guys here said, using ps and grep.

If you run your server in a screen or tmux window, then you can just 
kill the entire session and that'll do it.  I've had to resort to such 
things because the srcds_linux binary tends to misbehave when told to 
"quit", per my recent mails on this list.  This is helpful when you 
can't trust the contents of the PID file because of the process 
restarting itself.

Re: [hlds_linux] TF2 Update Released

Well, thank goodness we can rename taunts now since that made it to the top
of the list of things to do. Since we're on beyond pointless updates now, I
would love to see HOUWAR owners get something that has been promised for 6
months now? Wait, it's been over 7. At least we're setting our priorities
straight and not fixing the biggest complaints since the SPUF has been
flooding lately with request to rename their taunts.

Re: [hlds_linux] This new Benchmark - how to set and recommendations would be nice.

[localhost]

We found L4D2 (with this new clock optimisation) used less CPU than 
L4D1 (without it).


However, currently TF2 servers are using greater CPU than it used to 
REGARDLESS OF THIS SETTING.


Note that the only downside of leaving this at default (ie not set) is 
that the server will take a few seconds longer to start up.  Setting it 
to an explicit number just means you have to differ your scripts for 
every box, and remember to change them when if your CPU changes.

why disable. If restart do it when server is low on players. At night.

Re: [hlds_linux] TF2 Ghosting Players

[Marc.B]

Actually, the query protocol and the console status are reporting
different informations. Ghost are not in the console status.

After investigation, here what I found and posted already in the CSS
Ghost thread:
We have a for example a 18 slots servers with 8 real player and 10 ghosts.
Both HLSW and CSS Ingame Server Browser report 18 players online and
if you try to join, you get "server is full".
Now, making a "status" in server console report only 8 players, and if
you make a "connect" in console using the server ip, you can join the
server.

There are several topics talking about this issue on the communities
forums. It's seems to be related to the steam master server, and one
of the reported solution would be to change sv_master_legacy_mode and
add a master server ip manually (I haven't test this yet). But even if
this would fix the problem, I guess we need a patch as most people
will never even hear about this.

Re: [hlds_linux] Some server issues

[Tom Grant]

Mine was hanging for a few seconds on round ends. I figure that has to do
with the 700+ users who have connected since last restart. Obviously a
restart fixed that. And obviously I'm not too used to having a populated
server for a few days straight!

I haven't seen anything mid rounds.

[hlds_linux] Replay on CSS?

[Christoffer Pedersen]

Hey there, im trying to setup a CS:S server on Windows 2k8R2, but i have run 
into a problem. Everytime i start the server it says "Couldn't allocate any 
replay IP port". I have tried to look up the problem on google but no luck 
there... Another srcds-guy i know told me that there's even no replay feature 
in CS:S yet.

What's going on here? I have tried to use some commands like "+replay_enable 0, 
replay_port x" but they are "unknown commands"...

[hlds_linux] Some server issues

[Saint K .]

Hi,

We're having some server issues where all servers seem to hang for a few 
seconds and then continue like nothing was wrong. Now I wonder if this is 
something local on our machine, or if it has anything to do with the steam 
backend being overloaded.

Anyone else noticing similar issues?

Re: [hlds_linux] Vehicle issue

[Bernhard Kaszt]

Can Valve please implement this vphysics.so fix, (either use a newer GCC 
or different settings) for compiling vphysics.so.
This vehicle crash has been annoying us since more than a half year 
(since orangebox for hl2dm came out).


Thank you :)

Thanks sir !
I will take a look at rewrite all start scripts then, ill guess its 
would be suffient to execute "export RDTSC_FREQUENCY=2400.0" once 
when the server-machine is started.


And running the srcds at "fps_max 0" or 1000 is reducing the cpu-usage 
then server is empty, but it not optimal for our server settings.

 Milton Ngan skrev 2011-06-27 05:31:

You need to set this in your environment before you launch the game

export RDTSC_FREQUENCY=2400.0
./srcds_run -game tf 

This will bypass the benchmark. But each machine may be different. This is 
benchmark is part of the real time clock optimization that we had added into 
the L4D dedicated server.

Ive just had some time to read the logs to find the RDTSC_FREQUENCY and
it was rather easy.

[code]
/HLDS installation up to date
Running a benchmark to measure system clock frequency...
Finished RDTSC test. To prevent the startup delay from this benchmark,
set the environment variable RDTSC_FREQUENCY to 2400.00 on this

In this case should I add this to server.cfg or ?

But how is the recommendations to make the servers to use the cpu:usage
