If a kernel change fixed it, it's probably not as much a valve issue than the rather.. Linux tends to change it's VM etc per every release, so I'm not surprised.

Uniform test structure? (was Re: [hlds_linux] Very high CPU usage since HLDS Engine upgrade 35)
Heya all, I participated in the swapbeta test that Alfred had going during Valve's move from an IPC architecture to a event-driven architecture, in hopes of making everything perform unilaterally and cross-platform between the hlds_l and hlds_win32 binaries. Unfortunatly, my test set was quite hasty, and we did not test all the possible configurations of hlds_i386 on our systems, the majority of which being dual Intel Xeon 3.0ghz w/ HT, 2GB RAM and SCSI HDDs. Since the release of Engine v35, we've had enough reports of 'registry' problems that I was forced to make a backup 'last known good' copy of hlds, just in case we had anymore trouble. These troubles, again, seem to revolve around our pingboosted 32-bit setups, as those without pingboost seem to have no trouble with the newest release. How about instead of posting a set of specs, we go one step further and begin to propose ways to effectively prod the binaries, from not just the server-side perspective but the player-side as well, collect reports from players on these servers, get as much data as possible together to bundle up and send to Alfred, for him to sift through and see if he can find any correlations? DISCUSS! Or I'll just force a testing structure idea on everyone that I've been throwing around. :) ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux

That's very interesting. I can run 3-32slot hlds on one of the new 3ghz opertons that arrived yesterday. They are all maintaining 250fps.

Re: [hlds_linux] Very high CPU usage since HLDS Engine upgrade 35
This is a multi-part message in MIME format. -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Yes, its absolutely not the mod, but the HLDS upgrade - I downgraded to Engine upgrade v20 now (was the newest-old one I could find), and we got no Problems - CPU usage normal. The Problems might also exist in HLDS upgrades between 29 and 35, but I don't know, as I upgraded from 29 to 35 directly. If someone hands me a link to older Upgrades, I can try them too. cheers SecurityFox Gus wrote: >Have you invesigated whether its the mod itself?
