We've got the same problem since the update, but on Windows.
We have two boxes, both running Windows 2003 Enterprise Server x64
(man, what a mouthful,) build 1218. One box is running an HL2 DM
server, the other is running an HL2 TDM game, along with a CSS game.
Both the DM and TDM games, after th
Hello,
Ever since the last update (today) my server's cpu usage shoots up to 100%
within 15 minutes of people connecting to it, if I restart it it starts off
again at 10-15%.
Normally I could run the server with 8 players and only use 30% or less CPU
usage but now no matter what map, as soon as
We have released an update to the Source engine. You need to run
hldsupdatetool to get this update.
The changes for this release are:
- Added Half-Life 2: Deathmatch back to the dedicated server UI
- Temporarily disabled SourceTV beta for backend changes

I run the standalone Flash Player as a service. Works great. :)

I forgot to ask but maybe you could put one example for a hlds setup using
your howto.
Maybe I am doing something wrong on the regedit thing.

I have followed your instruction but I think there is something missing I
did not do it correctly.
After I setup everything I can see the hlds application running through task
manager but if you look the amount of memory taken is like 9Kb rather than
80kb when I run it manually.
Maybe it is

Another easy option is to install quicktime.
You'll get the boost automatically, since qttask runs in the taskbar
at startup. No need to leave any files open.
We used to 'unlock' the fps, but there's a downside, at least using
Windows 2003 server 64-bit - every day, your fps will halve, and

I open WMP, but play no file. I just click the icon then minimize it.
Before joining the server to my AD I could run it as a service and never
think about it... however I've got some policy somewhere which obviously
restricts interaction as it has no effect if run as a service now. I just
haven't

I'm not sure. I think you can do it using "Tweak UI" but it might not be
good practice to have your Win2k3 server auto log on. My server is just an
old Win2k pro box that doesn't do anything but host a DoD server. It's not
part of any domain and there is nothing of importance on the machine.

I wrote a howto for installing hlds as a service under win2k3 awhile back.
It's extremely simple to do.

Yes,
We have an overall fileserver which holds all the updated files. Then, as
monil said, perform rsync. We allow customers to update servers when they
wish via an online system.
