Re: [hlds_linux] Source Engine/Dedicated Server Beta
top shows the exact same thing. The used, but not so used, memory is the buffers and cached values. With a few exceptions like tmpfs. Regards Thomas Hjorth http://DSRack.dk Its definitely not the fault of linux or the way it is built. Usually when process doesnt need memory or it is shut down, it frees the memory it was using and that can be given by the system for other processes but in srcds case, it tends to keep the memory and not freeing it, untill its shut down. I'm sure srcds process doesnt need all that memory itself that it is eating - it just couldnt free it. Yes of course the memory usage is different in linux and windows, but in linux, the system tends to reserve the whole memory for itself and then distributes it for the processes that need it. I think you are referring to it. However, if 1 process uses all the memory, at some point, there is no free memory for the system to share. Then machine starts swapping and thats bad. For example, while i watch mem usage on my desktop with 'top', it says that 910632k of the mem is used and 125092k is free. Freshly booted 2 hours ago. This is of course the reserved memory by the system, not the real thing. Real values for free memory seen with 'free' are 259568 in use and 776156 free. Servers work same way. Eventually the memory runs out. Not a problem if you reboot your gameserver daily but still the leak has been annoying. -ics Svensk Ljud Ljus Produktion kirjoitti: I dont think its all a bug, its the way how linux is built. As long as we have more memory in the box then its using at start and full, then its just no problems how its moving the free memory around !

I only suspected zblock to be the bad guy, because i didnt notice any of the non-zblock running server to reach a level higher than 250-300mb of ram.

Maybe there are performance problems with SRCDS, or maybe some of us are being overly ambitious, I don't know.

That issue have bene there for months on my servers and all servers i know off.

If i where to spawn (give) a weapon for myself using external plugin and giving like 20 guns in a row while pressing the button continuously, where i have bind the command to give it, net_graph 3 reports tickrate drop and choke rising up. Before the updates in June, i could just spawn a lot more guns without having this choke nor tickrate drop. This leads me to conclusion that the lag that some of our servers are experiencing, is related to physics. Objects behave differently if there is more movement on screen now than before. This causes the glitches. On round start, there are many moving objects on screen, like players, barrels and every prop going back to their original places. Could explain some of the issues. I have also tested this with other objects that has physics than just guns. If i spawn any object that has physics, hostage, weapon, custom prop, (not just 1, many) there is that same lag coming up and choke rising and tickrate drops. I wonder what is causing this? Before the updates in beginning of June (12th was it?), there where no problems with these. -ics Thomas h kirjoitti: Perhaps they are tired of people whining about how MS are paying them to make their game perform poorly on Linux, when In MOST CASES its just noob people knowing absolutely nothing about Linux, and were just lucky a few years (or months) ago making hl/srcds run on linux on some crappy hardware.

Since updating my debian system to etch I'm getting the following error when starting a SRCDS. *** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0xb7dabfa0 *** I guess it is caused by a newer glibc version. libc2.3.6. How can I fix this issue? Will source dedicated server run with 2.3.6 or will I have to downgrade? Thanks Kyrios P.S.: Not 100% sure if it is caused by the OS update but 99% -- ... black holes are where god divided by zero. -- ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux _ Download din yndlingsmusik på MSN Music: http://www.msn.dk/music det er nemt og billigt ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux _ Vælg selv hvordan du vil kommunikere - skrift, tale, video eller billeder med MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.dk ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
Re: [hlds_linux] Timeouts/Lags during a round - NOT at roundend
Perhaps they are tired of people whining about how MS are paying them to make their game perform poorly on Linux, when In MOST CASES its just noob people knowing absolutely nothing about Linux, and were just lucky a few years (or months) ago making hl/srcds run on linux on some crappy hardware. When serious people with reel problems raise a flag i seems to me that Valve (or Alfred anyway) does what he can to help with the issue, but I can related to valves/his lack of replies to countless whining post.

RE: [hlds_linux] Re: hlds_linux digest, Vol 1 #5595 - 1 msg
I rather wonder why the Server FPS drop to 60 and lower sometimes. We are using some 3800+ X2 machines and it is not possible to run 20 clients at Tickrate 100, even if it is the only Server on the machine! CPU load doesn't go ever 50-60%. Ram isn't an issue either! We are running current Debian 4.0 release with 1000Hz Kernel und modified libc. Some months/years ago, performance was much better. We need to improve our hardware, but in act the engine itself shouldn't require better hardware that it did during the release. I cant be the valve software, even though its not perfect and the lack of 64bit support is a joke, but I run 40-50 slots on random maps (eg. de_inferno) with zblock perfectly on a AMd X2 3800+ CPU. If you have issues with drops I would probsbly look at the disk subsystem.

RE: [hlds_linux] Source Engine Dedicated server beta
Any ideas why a vanilla linux server running the beta (happens with both the current and previous beta) randomly spikes up to 90-99% and holds there for an extended period of time (not sure exactly how long, but it's more than a few minutes) and then goes back down to 10%? It keeps fluctuating over and over, can't seem to tie it down to anything. The FPS seems pretty stable. I'm running an AMD 2600+, 2.6.21-rc6 PREEMPT w/dynamic ticks on CentOS 5. It wouldnt happend to happend every 110min? and the load spike to about [number of hlds/srcds] * 1.5? and it doesnt seem to have any influence on the gaming experience? I have run about 40-50 active srcds slots on a dual 2GHz + about 100 idle with the load spiking to 23, and everyone reported perfect gameservers, so I kind stopped digging up this bug of valves. tracing the processes didnt help me much either. ./Thomas @ www.DSRack.dk _ Få 250 MB gratis lagerplads på MSN Hotmail: http://www.hotmail.com ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
RE: [hlds_linux] Source Engine Dedicated server beta
I'm not sure if it affected the performance in-game, but the FPS seemed somewhat stable. It did affect the rest of the processes on the machine, however. Doing almost anything else becomes close to impossible with one process pegged at 99%. Ok, I guess the issues aint the same.. my loadspike have no impact on anything, ssh to the server is as stable as always and nothing is slowed down. Besides making my monitoing and alerting useless/worthless the loadspikes ever 110min isnt hurting anything. ./Thomas @ www.DSRack.dk _ Ta' på udsalg året rundt på MSN Shopping: http://shopping.msn.dk her finder du altid de bedste priser ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
RE: [hlds_linux] Source Engine Dedicated server beta
There is an update to the beta. Run the update tool again with the beta parameter (-beta srcds0407) to get the update. with hldsupdatetool you mean the steam binary, coz using hldsupdatetool.bin with options does work, and steam steams to update itself with those options. I guess that is what you mean, if os, how does it help? when i update srcds nothing seems to be changed? and last, why does updating srcds end with a HLDS installation up to date? ** # ./steam -command update -game cstrike -dir /home/hlds.hd/ Checking bootstrapper version ...
