emailer "YUP" i feel ya on the fps thing. Ive done a lot of testing myself and found that i can keep the fps up and remove any skippingby setting hi priority on the server and reducing the slots in the box all together. Valve has gotten to the point that we simply must run less servers per box if you want a server with infexXxious ping and fps. im getting 100-120 slots on my dual xeon 2.8 comfortably. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Yup" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, December 04, 2005 2:15 AM Subject: Re: [hlds] Perfect server before, kind of laggy now?
