Re: [hlds_linux] high lag and freeze - intermitent
Hi, Well i got some players too who freezes when the play on my server (3 players), but the dont freeze all the time, just random - I've been montoring my Upload traffic, and there is no problem with it, so i think perhaps it's the players connection who "F**ks" up sometimes. I'm also running HL (HLDM) on Linux server Red Hat 7.2 /Frank - Original Message - From: "Steve Waller" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, September 02, 2002 7:56 PM Subject: [hlds_linux] high lag and freeze - intermitent > This is a multi-part message in MIME format. > -- > [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] > Hello all, > > A few weeks back I ditched windows in favour of linux as my hl server.

Re: [hlds_linux] high lag and freeze - intermitent
Maybe your comp is doing something periodically that uses all your outgoing bandwidth? Or something on your ISP/Router end is resetting lagging everyone outside the pipe? BTW: You probably dont need xinetd, portmap, rpc, sendmail, xfs and smb runnning You can test this by going: "service xinetd stop" "service smb stop" etc If you decide you don't need those services, type "ntsysv" and uncheck them from the startup list. Also run the game server as user GAMES or some other non special user. Running as root is a Bad Thing. That would be my only shot in the dark.

[hlds_linux] high lag and freeze - intermitent
This is a multi-part message in MIME format. -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Hello all, A few weeks back I ditched windows in favour of linux as my hl server. Whilst many aspects of the game have improved and lag is generally low, occasionally lag shoots up to 2000+ and some players experience freeze - where their movements are seen by other players but their own point of view remains locked in one position except for rotation. During this time they can also se other players movements. I have not seen this happen on other server and I am not sure if this is a server side or client side issue. Although friends who have experienced 'the freeze' have well configured Pc's that do not experience this issue on other servers they frequent. I connect to the server via the LAN connection and have never experienced this problem but from a friends Pc own the road also on ADSL and from other plaers reports. Often kicking a player who joined in the last minute or two cures this, and sometimes it seems to cure itself. I am using a pipex adsl line through an alcatel router The server is running redHat 7.3, most of the time it does nothing but run hlds, X is not running. ps -aux USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND root 1 0.0 0.1 1368 444 ?SAug11 0:04 init root 2 0.0 0.0 00 ?SW Aug11 0:00 [keventd] root 3 0.0 0.0 00 ?SW Aug11 0:00 [kapmd] root 4 0.0 0.0 00 ?SWN Aug11 0:00 [ksoftirqd_CPU0] root 5 0.0 0.0 00 ?SW Aug11 0:05 [kswapd] root 6 0.0 0.0 00 ?SW Aug11 0:00 [bdflush] root 7 0.0 0.0 00 ?SW Aug11 0:00 [kupdated] root 8 0.0 0.0 00 ?SW Aug11 0:00 [mdrecoveryd] root12 0.0 0.0 00 ?SW Aug11 0:08 [kjournald] root91 0.0 0.0 00 ?SW Aug11 0:00 [khubd] root 218 0.0 0.0 00 ?SW Aug11 0:00 [kjournald] root 219 0.0 0.0 00 ?SW Aug11 0:00 [kjournald] root 719 0.0 0.1 1428 532 ?SAug11 0:01 syslogd -m 0 root 724 0.0 0.1 1364 424 ?SAug11 0:00 klogd -x rpc744 0.0 0.1 1512 416 ?SAug11 0:00 portmap rpcuser772 0.0 0.1 1640 624 ?SAug11 0:00 rpc.statd root 885 0.0 0.1 1360 404 ?SAug11 0:00 /usr/sbin/apmd -p 10 -w 5 -W -P /etc/sysconfig/apm-scripts/apmscript root 939 0.0 0.2 2624 1104 ?SAug11 0:10 /usr/sbin/sshd root 972 0.0 0.2 2200 772 ?SAug11 0:00 xinetd -stayalive -reuse -pidfile /var/run/xinetd.pid root 1013 0.0 0.3 4624 1404 ?SAug11 0:00 sendmail: accepting connections root 1032 0.0 0.1 1400 408 ?SAug11 0:00 gpm -t ps/2 -m /dev/mouse xfs 1104 0.0 0.1 5144 624 ?SAug11 0:01 xfs -droppriv -daemon daemon1163 0.0 0.1 1404 460 ?SAug11 0:00 /usr/sbin/atd root 1184 0.0 0.1 1636 584 ?SAug11 0:04 rhnsd --interval 120 root 1207 0.0 0.2 2272 820 ?SAug11 0:00 login -- root root 1209 0.0 0.0 1344 344 tty4 SAug11 0:00 /sbin/mingetty tty4 root 1210 0.0 0.0 1344 344 tty5 SAug11 0:00 /sbin/mingetty tty5 root 1211 0.0 0.0 1344 344 tty6 SAug11 0:00 /sbin/mingetty tty6 root 1261 0.0 0.3 2524 1220 tty2 SAug11 0:00 -bash root 7316 0.0 0.3 4520 1224 ?SAug13 0:00 smbd -D root 7321 0.0 0.2 3604 1032 ?SAug13 0:00 nmbd -D root 8585 0.0 0.1 1560 616 ?SAug13 0:00 crond root 26199 0.0 0.2 2272 1028 ?SAug18 0:00 login -- root root 26200 0.0 0.4 2692 1548 tty1 SAug18 0:00 -bash root 26470 0.0 0.1 1344 396 tty3 SAug18 0:00 /sbin/mingetty tty3 root 20107 0.0 0.2 2232 1012 tty2 SAug31 0:00 /bin/sh ./hlds_run root 20114 0.6 14.4 80524 55576 tty2SAug31 18:37 ./hlds root 31518 0.5 0.4 3332 1676 ?S18:43 0:00 /usr/sbin/sshd root 31519 1.0 0.3 2488 1324 pts/0S18:43 0:00 -bash root 31563 0.0 0.1 2724 756 pts/0R18:43 0:00 ps -aux the server is eaglec.homedns.org:27017 I have tried 32/12/8 players sv_maxrate 6000 & 0 sv_minrate 2000 & 0 sys_ticrate 75 & 100 max_updaterate 150 & default max_cmdrate 150 & default The map doesn't seem to affect the problem, If you think you know how to cure this problem, what causes it or if your think you can recreate the problem on demand for me please let me know.
