[hlds_linux] Running 2 instances of TF2 srcds + optimization help
So I'm running currently 1 instance of TF2 on our server, which is a PowerEdge 2650 which has 2 2.8ghz Xeon processors and 2 GB of ram, on Ubuntu SE. I have had to set the cap at 18 players because when it is any higher and either a lot of people are talking or there are a lot of rockets flying around, it starts to get laggy and I see lerp go yellow on my net_graph 3. I would like to run another TF2 instance, since it has a second processor, so my first question is: Is there a way to run 2 instances using the same installation, but I would like to have different configs for each server? I'd rather not want to update 2 installations and have to do every action twice when I make a change to one (which gets annoying to do for each of my other servers). Secondly, is there any optization things that you guys suggest I do to the server or the configs? I can paste back anything you guys would like to see or know, if it helps.

Re: [hlds_linux] Running 2 instances of TF2 srcds + optimization help
Talking about the optimizations, I agree… it’s hard to run a 32slot TF2 server. I have XEON X3360 (2.83GHz) and on some maps it’s impossible to maintain a 66tick rate. It starts dropping to 50 and below, because CPU usage gets up to ~80% of core. Really, I don’t think, that X3380 (3GHz) would do any better. By the way, running a DODs 33slot server only takes ~60% of core. So I maintain the topic... Any TF2 optimizations? :-) Anyone? By the way Jordan, you can always try +exec server1.cfg +exec server2.cfg and set different mapcycle files. - Original Message - From: Jordan Toor gamma...@gmail.com To: hlds_linux@list.valvesoftware.com Sent: Sunday, May 24, 2009 8:54 PM Subject: [hlds_linux] Running 2 instances of TF2 srcds + optimization help So I'm running currently 1 instance of TF2 on our server, which is a PowerEdge 2650 which has 2 2.8ghz Xeon processors and 2 GB of ram, on Ubuntu SE.

+servercfgfile +motdfile +mapcyclefile And yes TF2 is super optimized. A full 32 slot DODS server takes up around 35-50% of a core on my X3360 (This is on Windows).

I'm currently running four TF2 instances from one installation. Just add +servercfgfile customizedservercfg to your startup line for each server.
