RE: [hlds_linux] Worse performance since last update
I do agree with you on the server side FPS problems. I have the same problems that you do with server side FPS dropping into the low teens. As all of you noticed from the TOP I posted previously, I am not having CPU or RAM problems. The main issue with the FPS drop on the server is that is affects the clients and game play is noticeably worse. This normally happens at the start of a round. I have tried the following to resolve the FPS issue: 1. Remove all plugins and reinstall SRCDS 2. Drop the server player count from 32 to 26 and then to 20 It seems as though no matter what happens, if you have a semi-busy server no matter what the player count is, I am seeing the FPS issue when the server reaches about 70% capacity on one SRCDS instance. I killed my second SRCDS instance and tried running ONE server on a quad proc xeon box with 2 gigs of ram and I still experienced the FPS drops. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Marcel Sent: Saturday, April 15, 2006 12:23 PM To: hlds_linux@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] Worse performance since last update Hi, First: I'm talking about srcds_l We are also registering problems.

Re: [hlds_linux] Worse performance since last update
Hello Jon, We are experiencing the same problem on one of our servers. This is a single AMD Opteron 242 server with Gentoo as chosen operating system. We were running a 1000 FPS server on this machine and the clan that was using it told me that the performance was really bad since the update you mentioned. At first I didn't believe them because there were no changes made to the server and no difference in CPU and / or memory usage. I decided to play a match myself on the server and I noticed it immediately, the problem increased when more people joined the server. There was warping in the server, grenades hanging in the air and stuttering of player models. Sufficient to say that it was completely unplayable. Just like you we need an solutions a.s.a.p. most people are not very open to such explanation are more likely to blame the hoster and / or server. So also a request from us. VALVE please look into this problem, it is causing much problems. -- Kind regards, Hans Vos ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
RE: [hlds_linux] Worse performance since last update
Regarding performance, is anyone else getting terrible memory leaks? They seem to effect my intel systems more so that the AMD, but if I leave them running for more than 3 or 4 days almost all my ram is gone. After that a simple restart will free up 300-500 meg of ram or more sometimes. jc -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of aXeR (AmmoBOX) Sent: Saturday, April 15, 2006 12:04 PM To: hlds_linux@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] Worse performance since last update Issue cat /proc/sys/kernel/HZ over SSH - Original Message - From: JCHost.net - Support [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: hlds_linux@list.valvesoftware.com Sent: Saturday, April 15, 2006 5:54 PM Subject: RE: [hlds_linux] Worse performance since last update Well actually I'm wrong I found out we didn't' even compile a custom kernel on this server.
