Re: [hlds_linux] FW: [hlds_announce] Team Fortress 2, Counter-Strike: Source, Day of Defeat: Source and Half-Life 2: Deathmatch Updates Released
Feedback here Linux AMD64 Debian unstable, game is TF2. CPU usage is relatively way down. I will have to watch my aggregate graphs tomorrow, but brief inspection of htop and current graphs show CPU usage is down for the given player load. Hard to tell if more cores are being used because I've got six cores and many different servers running. Choke where I've got a client ping of about 70ms on a loaded 24 player server is also down. This is a very positive change. I don't even know what to say about the css files mess. It's like mushroom community management. Throw shit on em and let them figure it out on their own.

The specific changes include: Source Engine Changes (CS:S, DoD:S, TF2, HL2:DM) - Fixed an issue with the multi-threaded renderer which could cause a crash on map change - Adjusted whitespace to improve formatting in status command output - Changed stats output to show KB/s instead of bytes/sec, added a connections column, and changed the users column to Map changes - Fixed game servers not being able to execute the retry command due to the dependence on the connect command (which is not executable by game servers) - Made sndplaydelay executable by servers **- Server frame rate is now based on the tickrate of the active Source mod, not the fps_max convar **- Server processing delays have been reduced, especially for servers on modern Linux kernels - Entity processing logic has been optimized to significantly reduce CPU usage on full servers - Multi-threaded server code is now enabled by default under Linux (already enabled on Windows) - An exploit with non-printable characters causing lag on Windows servers has been fixed - CPU is fully yielded back to the system whenever the server is running faster than the tickrate - Dramatic increase in performance for low-level math libraries Day of Defeat: Source **- Removed tickrate command line parameter - Updated the localization files Counter-Strike: Source - Prevent AWP cycle time exploit using quick switch - Fixed bug causing HUD History to display item pickups from nearby players - Increased sized of HUD History resource to prevent clipping - Changed grenade damage so that it always hits HITGROUP_GENERIC and takes into account armor for damage calculations - Reduced standing and moving accuracy for pistols - Decreased accuracy while moving with sniper rifles - Added additional legacy mode (3) to cl_dynamiccrosshair - Updated the localization files Team Fortress 2 Manniversary: - Experimenting with a new store interface with a subset of players - Added several dozen community items in celebration of the Manniversary - Added loadout presets -- each class can now store four complete loadouts, including weapons and cosmetic items, and change between them with the press of a button. - Added a new item type that can accept user-applied decals. Take any image off your hard drive, put it on a stick, and then smash people with it! (See the Decal Tool in the store!) - Added new co-operative high five taunt - Class select menu now shows the active loadout for each class - Characters can now equip two misc-slot items at once - Added a new in-game abuse-reporting system (see Capture abuse report data under Miscellaneous controls) - Non-newly-released weapons in the store can now be tried out for free once per week! This will give you a fully-functional version of the weapon to be used in-game for no cost.

Yes, FPS is now irrelevant to dedicated servers. You can still use fps_max to limit framerate on the client; this reduces GPU and CPU power usage, and can help with PCs that have heat management problems. Because of the optimizations in this release, we no longer feel that a server tuning variable is necessary. All servers should feel more responsive now than they would have under any previous 1000+ FPS config. -henry -Original Message- From: hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of William Balkcom Sent: Thursday, October 13, 2011 1:45 PM To: hlds_linux@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: [hlds_linux] FW: [hlds_announce] Team Fortress 2, Counter-Strike: Source, Day of Defeat: Source and Half-Life 2: Deathmatch Updates Released Is this considered the official removal of the FPS cvar from the source engine?
