It seems Linux is more the choice of operating systems for game servers.
Hm, but that statement might start some holy wars over OS's so I'll just
stop now :)
I run both FreeBSD with Linux emulation and native Linux as a platform for
gaming. Both have their good and bad points.
I can run any

I'm running 4.11-STABLE on dual Athlon platform. I've not wanted to
disrupt long time existing customers to upgrade, because after my
experience from 3.x to 4.x, I start with a clean slate on full version

Do you run with a stock kernel if so then that would easily
explain the difference. The newer linux's have a kernel HZ of 1000
where as FBSD has 100 this can easily be changed. 4.X requires a
kernel recompile 5.X can be set it on boot. Some people go with
1000 HZ be we found that a number of

5.4-RELEASE doesn't exist yet, how could you possibly have 5.4-STABLE?
Either you're running 5.4-RC3, or you're running 5.3-STABLE.

Actually if u check the CVS tree you will see RELENG_5_4 is already
a valid tag and as 5 is a STABLE branch it is technically possible to have
5.4-STABLE although I know where ur coming from :)

I'm also running 200hz on a 4.x machine. It seemed to give the best
performance for CPU tradeoff. I tested 100, 200, 500 and 1000. 1000 just
ate way too much CPU and made it difficult to run more than 1 server on
a dual 2.8 xeon. Just my experiences with hz on FBSD.

Actually your wrong there reza there are a lot more fixes for stability in
5.4 than 5.3 and its currently recommended to run the latest stable branch
or 5.4 over 5.3 for AMD64.
Also there is no mention of running AMD64 so the entire question may
be mute.

Hello,
My guess I that this has to do with the fact that you're
running 5.4 and using amd64 code. Amd64 has had some stability
bugs in the 5.x branch, have you tried this w/5.3?
Yes, we have tried 5.3 in the past and achieved the same results.
Just to bring things up to speed, we removed
Seems strange your having problems we have over 50 CS:S servers here
all running on FreeBSD ( mixture of 5.2.1 and 5.1 ) and have not had any
issues reported.
Ahh saying that I just remembered we're running a custom linux kernel
patch that I knocked up to prevent server crashes with large rcon

I've run only on Freebsd for the past 2-3 years now and have had some
different results overall. I has issues getting the 64bit version
working with the motherboard I had and several other nightmares that are
entirely another story. I'm currently running a quad Xeon and an AMD
