CVAR-X and zBlock are now dead. I really liked CVAR-X's possibility also set
the min and max cl_interp and not just one solid value. Any chance of
introducing this to the engine itself?

Just a temporarily fix:

Here are the files prior to the changes by update v28.
These are the original v27 files, and work fine (tested it on 2 of our
servers).
http://serv.crew-nexus.net/~wokkel/Steam_v27.tgz

Atleast now the server still runs.. better than nothing :)
Don't forget to temporarily remove the auto update parameters before

101?  That seems like quite a lot of packets to be sending out per

thought that this wasn't the case but after playing on it, I do notice a
lower FPS than I usually get elsewhere.

me to run commands on the server without loading up Half Life 2 each
time?


HLSW http://hlsw.net/


* 3. Is there a decent log parser out there that'll generate HTML
reports from logfiles?

sv_maxupdaterate 101 the best imho.


* 5. When I right click my server in the Steam list and click "View
server info" I am told 'Valve Anti-Cheat: Not secure'.  Is this anything
to worry about?  Can I make it 'secure'?


If you see the VAC2 logo on loading there arent any problem, it's a new

i read this somewhere:

/">// An 2.6.x 1000HZ Kernel has "more" CPU usage as the 2.4.x Kernel
>// with 100HZ, but under heavy load the 2.6.x Kernel is wonderfull.

/and this is true. i had the same problem like you and i changed the kernel too 
and now everything is fine./

Is your 2.6 kernel custom made or is it what came with the release?

Try experimenting with -tickrate value on the cmd line and watch the

Subject: [hlds_linux] Still problems with low FPS

in july there have been lots of posts concerning the low fps/high cpu
issue. So far I didn't find a solution to the problem:

Regardless if the server is full or empty, I have only around 50 FPS with
these settings:

-tickrate 66 (starting parameter)

server.cfg:
sv_minrate 2500
sv_maxrate 2
sv_maxupdaterate 85
fps_max 600
sv_minupdaterate 10
sv_unlag 1
sv_maxunlag .5

Also, using the default netsettings (by commenting out) wasn't helpful.

I am running the server on a Debian System (2.6xx). AMD 3000XP, 1GB DDR,
100Mbit.

Any help is appreciated.

With kind regards,

maschine

it depends on your kernel frequency,  def kernel frequency in 2.6.x is
1000hz but if you  set it back to 100hz, the source server run only @ 50fps.

you should look after it, i think

Actually, thanks to the wonders of Steam I have a better way to test
this. If you have a crash on load after this last release then run the

./steam -command update -game cstrike -beta linux -dir .


I would appreciate any reports as to whether this does or does not help
the problem.

Yes, and what about the server fps? Are u using imporeved tickrates?
What OS. are u using? (if linux: 2.4.x or 2.6.x kernel?)

Yo, but how much server fps do you have? I mean, what does it show when
you type 'stats'?

Re: [hlds_linux] low fps - high cpu

[sys]

Hi, the same problem here.
I'm running a CS:S warserver (10 players + srctv) with -tickrate 100, net
settings:

sv_lan 0
sv_maxupdaterate 101
sv_minupdaterate 80
sv_unlag 1
sv_maxunlag .5
host_framerate 0
sv_maxrate 25000

So, like CAL config.

3GHZ P4, 2x512 DDR, Debian, 100Mbit connection.
But if the server is full, the server fps fall back on the round starts
and starts to lagging.
I already tried to disable vac2 but it didn't helped.

What should i do? ^^
