Was just waiting for a reply to add the info that it is a cs:s Server ;) Meanwhile I continued googling around and read about windows not using high performance timers at startup and the workaround with starting mediaplayer or another multimedia programm.
Unfortunatly I can't test it atm since it is a rented server and the "admins" are offline ;) I'll try it tomorrow and will let you know. Also I've now notived that the mtnioned Steam-Support DB Article is from march 2004. So it's propably for hlds. This now fits to Alfred's earlier post saying that tickrate greater 100 can create strange problems. I think the 1FPS Bug is one of those weird problems. So what I will try tomorrow is: - tickrate "100" - MediaPlayer in the background. - fps_max "greater 300" I hope/think this will give optimal performance ;) P.S.: Yes the post was confusing;) That's primary because I've been really confused. I totally mixed hlds and CSDS information.
