Re: [hlds_linux] Distro Flavor?
As far as i remember valve use slackware. Our community has had an interesting journey with CentOS. We would not recommend it, but it can be done. We now have 6 24-slot TF2 servers quite smoothly now on a socket C32 six-core. If we ever have a new build, we're going to try a different distro. Good things have been said about debian and debian-based distros (Ubuntu).

Re: [hlds_linux] cpu on i7 920
More than 80% cpu usage = lag spikes Everyone thanks a lot for your feedback regarding this issue. I went into the datacenter today and had another good look at the BIOS settings. In the end I did a full BIOS reset and re-programmed all the options. Servers now run at a rock solid 250FPS at around 80-90% CPU load per 24max server per core (acceptable). Saint K.

Propably this is due to all of them having very large open areas within them like let's say, gold rush, dustbowl, etc narrow maps. It also depends on what effects the maps use and how they are built.

Re: [hlds_linux] orangebox cpu usage
Problems start with more than 22 players, Its pointless to use a full dedicated for just 1 server. As a side note, I performed an experiment where I put two 24 player quickplay servers up on a P4 with 2 gigs of RAM, and there was no problems running it and the gameplay didn't have any noticeable latency. So, food for thought. 2011/7/19 Björn Rohlénbjorn.roh...@gmail.com: And in this case, one really CAN question why this is so. I remember when moving from Q3F/ETF (quake3/enemy territory based TeamFortress) to HL/SRC. I had 2x24 servers on ONE p4-3ghz and 4gb ram and while both pubs were full and packed with action, that ONE cpu would chew up ~85% cpu. Now, source is based on the old quake-sources (they call it quake 1.5 since they got them between ID did quake 1 and 2) and SURE, they've made all these nifty improvments, such as directx support and what not ON THE CLIENT, but the serverside seems to be from the RQ-era. There is NO justification for moving around a bunch of clients on the same .bsp-format, doing the same work with LESS entities compared to an hopelessly old infrastructure and eat 8 times the amount of resources.

Re: [hlds_linux] upcoming orange box framerate changes
any changes related to cpu usage? Even fps_max 70 take all my resources. Hi all, a heads up to TF2 and CS:S server operators - A near-future update (not necessarily the next one) will change the way that framerate is handled in the dedicated server. All users, especially those with very low pings, should receive a smoother gameplay experience with less jitter and more consistent-feeling latency. Another effect of these changes is that all Orange Box (TF2, CS:S, etc) dedicated servers will run with a locked framerate, similar to L4D/L4D2. The fps_max convar will not have any effect on servers. (It remains as a client option since limiting your FPS can reduce GPU heat and overall power consumption.) Although we don't normally give notice before updates, this is a potentially disruptive change for the server rental market, so those who currently charge premiums for higher framerates should probably start considering their options now.

You can also filter by packet size with udp using iptables. iptables -A INPUT -p udp -m length --length 8 -j DROP (which should drop all udp packets with a zero length payload). IF you have a NAT to your server then you may need this on the FORWARD chain instead). Note we pass --length 8 to account for the mandatory udp header fields. (UDP headers have 4 fields, each sixteen bits long or 8 bytes).

But since a week or so, im not only getting lag, im getting CRASHES in my server and seems its the same exploit: Example of flood: 19:44:03.747611 IP xxx.dynamicIP.rima-tde.net.58723 xxx.xxx: UDP, length 0 Without ddosfixer, it used to lag the server but now it also crash. The only way i manage to fix it was blocking the ip but its a dinamic ip so its not a solution. Any advice?

[hlds_linux] 1000 fps debian 6 squeeze
Hi: I have been running hlds servers for years with debian stable kernel recompiled with 1000hz reaching 1000 fps with small oscilations (kernel 2.6.26). But since the last os upgrade(squeeze) im unable to reach 1000 fps with the stock kernel(2.6.32), modded as i used to do, im getting like 9xx fps , 1000 fps not a single time. Its like theres a cap in the kernel to reach 1000. Any advices?

Re: [hlds_linux] 1000 fps debian 6 squeeze
Im talking about hlds not srcds Hack around in libc to make nanosleep()/usleep()/sleep() just do a return and change to tickless kernel with highres timers -- volia, 1.000.000fps and 100% cpu usage! Something not quite as useless would be to set fps_max on the server to a more realistic value, like 125. This is still overkill FOR ORANGEBOX based servers, as discussed earlier on this mailinglist. -TheG On Tue, Feb 15, 2011 at 3:11 PM, Andres Pozosjavato...@yahoo.es wrote: Hi: I have been running hlds servers for years with debian stable kernel recompiled with 1000hz reaching 1000 fps with small oscilations (kernel 2.6.26).

Re: Re: [hlds_linux] Source Multiplayer Update Released - server FPS problem
Hi: I mean whats the distro and kernel Alfred use on his computer test farm. So we can be sure whats the correct config. Ronai the main advantage on the .21_rc* over the .20 was that you did not need to add the hrt_dynticks1 patch to the kernel, they included it in the .21 William.. I guess I should have started that by asking those guys if they were just using the latest stock kernel as handed to them by Debian or if they were actually cleaning it up and setting it up for a game server instead of the general http/database server. I wasn't trying to troll Andres,, Just wondering who you wre refering too in this? (who's test computers) last time i use a custom kernel they told me to only use stable kernel because thats what they have on his test computers. --kennycom - Original Message - From: Rónai György [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: hlds_linux@list.valvesoftware.com Sent: Wednesday, March 14, 2007 10:11 AM Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] Source Multiplayer Update Released - server FPS problem [ Converted text/html to text/plain ] I have read that topik, and my server is set up according to that, with 1000Hz.

(i will do it anyway now, but i am 99% sure, that it will not help..) Or what is in the SRCDS update, that requires at least 2.6.20 kernel? Maybe a word on that from you, Alfred?

The usually 250-496fps drops every few seconds to 10! But the CPU usage never goes over 10-20%. There was no problem with it, until the update :( Restart does not help too.
