[hlds_linux] CPU Usage with higher tickrate
Hi I am seeing a huge CPU usage increase with higher tickrates. I have a 64bit Opteron 250 with 1GB Ram with nothing else running bar 1 CSS server running de_train.Tickrate of 66 and 14 players and the CPU maxes out meaning that when players spawn there is a severe stuttering. I would like to run tickrate at 60-100 but CPU overhead is insane. (Although bullet reg is amazing). Anyone else with similar problems?

RE: [hlds_linux] Bullet Registry
I assume that is a joke >>Some people buy armor. :) As is the bullet registry in CS:S. Counterstrike is one of the best games around, Scrath that, IS THE BEST GAME AROUND. It has been around for 5 years at least and people still play it in hundreds of thousands. Big competitions are held for large amounts of cash and prizes all over the world. The people at the top of the game are actually very "Talented" at playing the game, earning a living doing so. All the above will not and cannot happen to source unless the "Hit and Miss" bullet reg and gameplay issues are sorted out. I didn't feel I payed for CS as I downloaded as a free mod to the original halflife, It is easily the best game I have ever played. However I do feel I have paid for Source and I feel like it is in beta and needs lots of work. There is no doubt it is still in beta. Gameplay online is not anywhere near what is expected of an online FPS. Sporadic bullet reg, Rubber banding, Interp Issues and Strange Player model running are all ruining a game that could have been amazing. (Interp) I don't know how many times I have ran round a corner yet to find myself shot half a second later and dieing on the floor before the corner. Remember the old interp setting on CS 1.5? (Rubber Banding) This usually happens when u do something fast while the server is busy, ie jumping out into the middle of a gunfight. You find yourself put back to where u where before u jumped or mid jump or anything but where u expected to be. Running round a corner then you get pulled back to in front of the corner. Also known as warping. (Sporadic Bullet Reg) Well this is the weakest part of the whole game (For me). As I said before, totally random and not what has come to be expected of HL, CS and Valve. Watch some skilled players playing CS 1.6 with awp snapshotting and AK Headshotting. Watch a skilled player take out 2 fully loaded enemies with a pistol. Non of this is possible on source. You may say "It's a different game" but you can do all of this on other quality Online FPS's. (Player Models) Has no one else noticed that the player models look bandy and good awful while running or side stepping. As sidestepping is probably the most common movement other than running forwards I cannot believe how bad they look in game. The graphics look amazing but are totally ruined by the semi "moon-walk" sidestep that models currently do. Bob doesn't seem as frequent or as pronounced, players haven't got as much control over the model. Wave files are missing as my console seems to love to inform me and the whole game lags when certain sounds are played. They are not caching either as this happens multiple times per game with the same sound. I have tried this on 4 PC's (minimum spec 3.4ghz AMD 64bit with Radeon 9800xt 512MB DDR) all with low quality sound fx. This is happening to all eleven people I have asked. Server Side. No Sys_ticrate setting. This was used for server admins to "tune" there server to the hardware and available CPU resources available based on what they wanted from the game itself. I would happily trade off more cpu usage for better reg / gameplay. Sorry for the lengthy email but I would like to know if any of these issues are being addressed or will be addressed at some time in the future. Will there be continued development or is that it for the game? Also can I ask if CS1.6 and CZ will be shutdown in the future?

RE: [hlds_linux] Ping goes up with more than 15 Players
In my opinion it is most probably your network I have an 18man server that runs an AVERAGE of 1.5mbps. All players use hi rates and it is a very popular server. If this is hosted on a DSL line or similar make sure you have at LEAST 1.5mbit connectivity outbound and inbound. If you are running custom maps you may require more. If you are on a bigger pipe than that check that its not being limited somewhere along the line. Also check your switch can receive large amounts of UDP traffic.

RE: [hlds_linux] Ping goes up with more than 15 Players
This is not true for counterstrike or Czero. It is totally dependant on a lot of factors. Maybe true at standard rates but players change these as soon as they find out how 2. It is possible to pull 11kb/sec through per client at full rates on a good server. Server setup can effect this also, from kernel settings to maxrate and maxupdate settings in server.cfg.

I'd also like to point out that latency goes up quite rapidly when you approach the maximum transfer for a circuit (e.g. even if only using 85% upstream you could have a rapid ramp in ping). So you should aim to keep the circuit at 80% or less capacity. ___ 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

RE: [hlds_linux] Running an HL Server on Openmosix Cluster
As I understand it there are several problems with running HLDS on a openmosx cluster. The app isn't multithreaded (AFAIK) so you are limited to farming the process out to the best suited or most free slave in the cluster. Now this can still be quite handy. Have 1 server with all the administration on it that farms the processes out to its children. HOWEVER Make sure you have some sort off QOS on your network. As your processes are farmed out to the children they consume huge amounts of bandwidth (Don't forget you are sending the whole process and the ram it is loaded into, possibly into a GIG of data), straining your network and causing huge lagg spikes. The main server is still the main what all of the clients are connected to and will need a very low latency connection to the children. That's if I understand it correctly Some people have got it working well, I think it was Americas army that runs on a big cluster.

RE: [hlds_linux] Another bandwidth question
This is not an easy question to answer as there isn't really an answer. "IT DEPENDS" It depends on lots of factors, 1. Server speed (Sys_ticrate) 2. Server rates 3. Client rates 4. Server size 5. any other services on that line throughput on 1.5mb = 180kb (Approx, more of a guess tbh) some lower throughput servers only average 3-4kb/sec /180 = 45 but that's using default / low rates and on a small server. On my high FPS server with hi ADSL rates (25k 101 101) the throughput in netgraph is usually around 8kb/sec and peaks at 11kb/sec 180 / 9 = 20 (And that might be pushing it, so 1 x 20man server basically) To be honest there isn't really a point in hosting from T1 when datacenter prices are so competitive. Also you have redundancy and air conditioning etc. Colocate (it's the only way to fly these days) Hope that helps but probably not want you want to hear. Bear in mind that even if you do host it from t1 line you still have a higher latency than you do with collocating due to having to travel through internet backbone and then back out to the t1 from the client.

RE: [hlds_linux] CS Source Server commands.
Maybe make this optional. Leagues and Matches should be played under more strict rules and this would be better for controlling it. For example, most matches played online use external comms so that the caller can still talk after dead and positive feedback can be given to the alive players. This will be done no matter what so the only way to stop the 2 second post death peak (2spdp) would be to either black screen (for prize fund tourneys etc) or switch instantly as is. Could we have it like Mp_forcecamera 1 through to 5 with all the available options. I like it how it is but some would prob prefer the 2spdp.

This is due to a problem with telecomplete. Some of your bandwidth is probably going through them and they had a serious fail over this evening. As of 2.30am everything should be back up and running. The problem was that hlds connects to the master servers lots, both at start up and when players join (To check they are not banned I guess).

RE: [hlds_linux] Steam Updated Tool Speed
Would it not just make sense to allow the files that are being downloaded to be cached by proxies. This would allow any lan party running a proxy (SQUID or IAS) to provide the updates at full network speed once the first download had finished. GSP's could also get there steam content from proxys either put in place by there ISP or by manually editing the hosts file to point to a local server not a steam one. The amount that is downloaded is stupid. I do a fresh install of HLDS server (Cstrike) on a linux box and im sure half the stuff installed is not used. Why should be all have to download it if we are not going to use it. This is a case of Valve not helping themselves.

[hlds_linux] high Throughput problems
This is a multi-part message in MIME format. -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] I am admin to a few servers, one of which is quite a skilled 18man public. We have been working to get the reg on this server as good as possible and at the moment it is quite good. Hardware is a 64bit opteron with 1gb ram (2.2Ghz) I believe. We are running 64bit binarys and processor usage for this server full is around 20% -22% peak. Which we are happy about. I have noticed that when playing on this server I am getting around 11kb sec throughput in (In netgraph). A little choke at the start of the round but that’s it. Still 11kb a second is a huge amount of data considering that most servers I play on range from 3-6kb. Should I be worried? Could this effect reg either positively or negatively? My ISP isn’t really bothered at the moment but it could become an issue if this is the way HLDS is going throughput wise. Also I have noticed that after a few weeks / months of running this server the reg goes downhill and I have to re-install it (./steam) Any ideas chaps?

[hlds_linux] direction change or crash?
This is a multi-part message in MIME format. -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Some people have said steam is free and we should be thankful of the updates etc etc. Well, Steam is not free. 1. Changes are “FORCED” upon us by Valve. 2. The updates are an absolute nightmare to get hold of during peak times. 3. You cannot refuse to accept the updates in 1.6 and have to play the altered game rather than the version you where happy with. 4. The bandwidth used to download on server and client is all payed for somewhere. 5. There is advertising on every client which would rival the most widely seen popups and ad-aware sites in the world. This is a regime. It is disgusting. Every single person I know / play with online thinks it is disgusting and is upset at the rapid decline of this game. It is (AFAIK) the most played online game currently around (By a long way I imagine) but this is about to end. A message to valve: If you are deliberately ruining the game to move players onto CZ or HL2 then you are wasting your time. People will either buy it or not buy it. The ruining of CS will only tarnish valves reputation. If this is not true then please sack some people whom have made hilariously bad decisions and get someone in whom understands the culture of online gaming, the idea of what Counterstrike is about and someone with a little taste / feel for the game. Have the people in charge even played CS? The most annoying feature (This time) is the huge cursor (reticule). I don’t understand the reasons why it is there or if it is staying. 1. If it is a bug the quality control procedures need re-establishing. 2. If it is not a bug and an attempt to make the game easier for “noobs” then what’s next recoil? Losing players not gaining them. 3. If it is just a great idea that someone there dreamed up then please as other people have suggested, create a forum for this and get yourselves a public beta group with which you can get feedback. The AWP delay. I can understand why a delay has been added to stop “snapshotting” or “awp scripting” but it hasn’t worked. Use forums / beta groups to find the best way of stopping this, don’t just release some half tested ideas on the community. I still get awp scripters on the public servers but normal users cant use the awp now. The awp is one of the important things about CS, It takes a practice to become handy with an awp and is an important part of the game. If publics don’t want them then they can disallow them. Updates. There is a major issue with the updating system. It is a mod of Half-life which seems to have been taken over by valve themselves (I don’t know the history). Now all the changes are “FORCED” without any option to every 1.6 client and server across the globe. Is this legal? Pre 1.6 there was always a choice, stay with the old binaries or update from the many FTP servers local to yourselves. The update would have to be better than the last one to have been played. If this system was still in place do you think people would be playing this update? No I don’t think so. I would like to be able to choose the version of Counterstrike I play, I would like to be able to decide for myself if I need a cross hair the size of my hand and I would like to be able to choose what version my server runs. Valve - “YOU WILL PLAY WHAT WE WANT YOU TO PLAY THE WAY WE WANT YOU TO PLAY IT”. Have I payed for Counterstrike? I own 3 copies of HL, I own 3 dedicated co-located servers full with public CS servers, I play 3 hours a night most evenings while my partner also plays CS occasionally. I am a victim to whatever sponsor valve forces in front of me while my game is loading and I was also intending on purchasing HL2 and CS:CZ.. If you have got this far then you will realise I am pretty upset. Well yes I am. Counterstrike is something valve should be proud of. CS has moved a long way beyond its HL parentage. Its amazing play ability has hooked millions of players around the world, everyone trying to out smart the other. Matches between very skilled players being broadcast across the net live, Clanwars taking place every night between bedroom warriors trying to think up amazing new tactics to beat there opponents. This is the future and in my opinion no other game is anywhere near it (YET). But… the tide is closing in. There are loads of little improvements that need doing, HLDS server needs optimising, VAC needs improving, HLTV can be improved, Demos can be improved, Update system needs to be re-engineered with proxy or alternative hosts allowed. Maybe give us a choice and not force downloads on us. I would be happy with more advertising on the client if more was done to improve CS, just makes sure its in the right direction. Thanks for your time reading this, I realise this is just my opinion but I’m sure I’m not the only one. Richy --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

I'll explain it in detail and I hope you can help me with this, it's very weird and I've never seen/heard of it before. It's a clean CS server with no mods running. The problem is as following, when you're reloading a weapon it reloads way to fast. When you throw a grenade, it detonates way to fast, something is running way to fast. This isn't happening for everyone just a few people but it still makes it unplayable - I'll explain later why this makes it totally unplayable. Please note that it isn't the client though, the clients ONLY experience this on my server, no where else. Things I've made to fix it(with no luck): Reinstalled steam completely. The server is a match server for top sweden clans, Matrix and adrenaline, even though only the matrix players have experienced the problem, many ppl around in sweden have experienced it though. The server is as good configured as it can be so please don't tell me to just lower ticrate or something similar, it needs to be top class for the players to be happy. I use -pingboost 3 tho, I don't know if this has boosted the server fps too much (?!) and caused the weird problem. I'm using the CPL server.cfg, which includes ticrate 10K and similar. -pingboost 3 is used as well as I mentioned before. It's a linux box with a default 2.6.2 kernel, default hz etc. 786MB DDR memory, 1800+ AMD CPU. The problem was discovered after I installed the 2.6.2 kernel. Start: screen -A -d -m -S matrix1 ./hlds_run -insecure -game cstrike +sv_region 3 -pingboost 3 +servercfgfile matrix1.cfg +map de_dust2 +maxplayers 13 Also, I've seen that when it's full (10 players), it sometimes uses 99.9% of the CPU. This kinda made me rise my eyebrown but it's ok, if that's what it needs to be top configured then go ahead. It's mostly at 60-70% CPU usage though. The server fps is allways between 900-1000 fps. That would be all, all help is greatly appreciated. Thank you for reading this.
