Hi all, I'm quite new in the field of setting up a dedicated server but I have just one or 2 questions: The first question is about hardware requirements: I tried running a DS on my laptop which has a 2.4 GHz Intel Celeron in it and 256 Mb memory. Running it is not the problem, but changing maps takes for-ev-ver. It crunches away at 100% for a couple _minutes_ (like 2 or 3). When I'm playing dust (as that's the default map it starts with) it doesn't come much higher that 5%, although it spikes to about 50% for a split second when the bomb goes off. When I switch to office and played a minute or two I tried switch back to dust (which was much faster to load) and than back to office again (hoping it would have cached something) it took a little less time, but still an unacceptable 1.5 to 2 minutes (the pc (client) I play with, loads the map within a few seconds (like normal when I play on inet) after finally getting the details from my DS) I hope that makes a little sense :) I use the DS that came with my steam account. Would it be better if I tried the HLDSupdatetool (spelling?)? What can I do to make those map changes faster? Thank you SO much ;D DrBashir _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
