[hlds_linux] Rcon white list with iptables?
My stuff has gotten rcon crashed a few times, i tried making the kick convars so high, that it'd be megaspam for them to work... but still a few get through. so i thought about shutting off rcon with an iptables rule, but i want to allow certain addresses so admins and I can still use hlsw. -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 27015 -j DROP that works great, but I can't seem to white list any ip's through i tried both -A INPUT -s MY IP -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 27015 -s MY_IP -j ACCEPT no dice ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux

[hlds_linux] Intermittent lag spikes since classless update?
seems this all started after that update. Doesn't seem to matter what kind of load there is on the server, i've seen it happen at 20% capacity, and 60% Happened when I had no addons loaded during that short period when sourcemod was broken too. I have a few different compiled kernels that I mess with + the default one and a crazy rt patched thingy, all make no difference. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
Re: [hlds_linux] Intermittent lag spikes since classless update?
hmm, well sometimes it happens to a few people at the same, time, sometimes to others and not me. On Wed, Aug 19, 2009 at 1:53 PM, Ronny Schedel i...@ronny-schedel.dewrote: Besides this, I can see the game does not cache the WAV sound files. Whenever something is spoken or a weapon sound is played, the game loads the WAV files, even when it was loaded some seconds before. The files cannot be cached by the underlying operating system, because the files have to be loaded from the gcf. Is there some trick to prevent this? cl_forcepreload does not help in this case. This is a client side lag issue. With filemon I can see it happens when the game access the GameOverlayUI.exe.log Inside the file I can see alot of this: Mi Aug 19 18:55:40 2009 UTC - Warning: The game hasn't rendered a frame from us in over 10 seconds Mi Aug 19 18:55:40 2009 UTC - Timeout waiting on input stream for a frame Mi Aug 19 18:55:42 2009 UTC - Timeout waiting on input stream for a frame Mi Aug 19 18:55:45 2009 UTC - Timeout waiting on input stream for a frame Mi Aug 19 18:55:46 2009 UTC - Timeout waiting on input stream for a frame Mi Aug 19 18:55:47 2009 UTC - Timeout waiting on input stream for a frame Mi Aug 19 18:55:48 2009 UTC - Timeout waiting on input stream for a frame Mi Aug 19 18:55:48 2009 UTC - Timeout waiting on input stream for a frame Mi Aug 19 18:55:49 2009 UTC - Timeout waiting on input stream for a frame Mi Aug 19 18:59:29 2009 UTC - Timeout waiting on input stream for a frame Mi Aug 19 18:59:30 2009 UTC - Timeout waiting on input stream for a frame Mi Aug 19 19:03:27 2009 UTC - Timeout waiting on input stream for a frame It has something to do with the game overlay I suppose. seems this all started after that update.

[hlds_linux] Horrible TF2 Server Performance after these last updates
I have everyone complaining about lag, dropped frames and whatnot. Server FPS is awfully bouncy as high as 500, as low as 17. I have no idea what to try. I feel like i've messed with every kernel option there is, every chrt option, every rate cvar setting It's an IC7 Chipset server + Q9440 Proc, 4gig ram, 100mb/s transfer, centos5.2 64 bit. Is this just happening to me? If this keeps up, I am going to cancel the freaking thing. Should I maybe go with a different os? I think the last kernel i tried was 2.6.29.4, 500hz, full preemt :( ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux

This is happening on my servers, as well as a friends running different hardware and different distros. Im seeing it on debian as well as centos, running anywhere from the 2.6.26. series of kernel to 2.6.29. Tickless and 1000HZ. TF2 servers on the same machine don't suffer from this problem at all. Could this somehow be related to clock drift? I used to run ntpd on the machine but i was seeing errors in the srcds logs related to time, and believed that some issues i was having back then were related to ntp updating the time so often. Since then i have not updated the time at all, not even manually with ntpdate and it has drifted anywhere from 40 seconds to 9 minutes. The game servers get restarted nightly, but the machines do not. One oddity i have noticed is that after a system reboot the problems seem to go away for a day or two. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Turn off ntp. It's probably stepping the time backwards to compensate for a deviant system clock that drifts. Tickless is not recommended as that makes time calculations more expensive because ticks have to be woken up to do work, instead of them always being *active* You shouldn't be running power management stuff at all (tickless is good for laptops only, not game servers) ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux

[hlds_linux] TF2 Config Help?
My server always feels a little off when I run the default kernel. So I find some guides to compile it, but they all seemed geared to making srcds get thousands of FPS. When I run them, it does seem smoother for the most part, but it starts to hiccup. Sometimes it doesn't happen very often, sometimes it happens so often, it's hard to play, and I rather use the default kernel again. I've set the sv_,,.rate cvars to all the settings i could find, like i think i use currently, but they never seem to change anything. sv_maxrate 35000 sv_mincmdrate 45 sv_minupdaterate 45 sv_minrate 9000 sv_maxcmdrate 67 sv_maxupdaterate 67 I'm on centos 5.2 64 bit 2.6.18-128.1.6.el5 (default) I've tried 2.6.28 with RT patch/ no RT patch max preempt everything between 100 and 1000Hz tickless enabled and disabled chrt on the srcds process I really don't care what the server FPS is, as long as it's smooth in game. Like I said, these 'high fps' kernel settings kinda help, but they have bad stuttering. Basic Server specs = Intel Q9440 4g ram Linux Centos 5.2 100 mb/s transer rate Max Load EVER 50% I am wondering if there are any suggestions to smooth out gameplay? I go to other linux servers, and they use slightly weaker processors, like q6600, and it feels much a ton smoother than mine. Both linux kernel settings, and source engine settings (rates and junk) I'm tired of guessing with these kernel settings, takes too long to change setting, compile, reboot, test. :) ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux

And a minrate of 10 is a little rough. Unless everyone connecting to your server has at least an 800Kbps or greater download speed from their ISP, they'll have some major problems playing on your server. You're right, though. The important settings in your config are the minimums. They are far too high for a lot of people and the 66 cmdrate and updaterate minimums that it is defaulting to are also a problem. Unless people can hold 66fps on their client, they may begin to see some timeout issues. I'd leave the min values for everything at the defaults. So my config for you would look like: sv_minrate 1 sv_maxrate 0 sv_maxupdaterate 66 sv_mincmdrate 30 sv_minupdaterate 20 sv_maxcmdrate 66 Those settings are a lot more fair to the clients that will be connecting to your server(s) and will generally provide for a better overall experience. I'm actually surprised you're not seeing a lot of timeout issues and other connection related errors. -Richard Eid On Wed, May 13, 2009 at 6:06 PM, Danny Heinrichs dan...@gmail.com wrote: Just wanted to chime in with my settings. Most admins don't like to give theirs out because it takes a lot of research (at least for me) to figure out how to achieve no choke and no loss with srcds TF2. As long as your box can handle the extra bandwidth (I know you said you have 100mbps, but there's always other issues such as packet loss), these work well for me: sv_minrate 10 sv_maxrate 0 sv_maxupdaterate 100 sv_mincmdrate 100 sv_minupdaterate 100 sv_maxcmdrate 100 net_splitrate 300 net_splitpacket_maxrate 6 The important settings here are no the max's, but the min's, and most importantly the minrate boost. The reason I have min rates that high is because some clients we're having lots of issues with everyone being jumpy because the client cmd/update rates are 20/30 by default. Far too low for our 32 slot server. The split packet stuff doesn't have an effect on on the choke/loss that I have witnessed, but it is how we've been running so just wanted to include it for the sake of completeness.
