-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] First off get another 512 of good ram. you really need a gig of ram to run any decent amount of players.
then make sure you read the two threads at steam support titled, How do I install and update a stand-alone Dedicated Server for Windows? And "How do I get the most from my Dedicated Server?" these will tell you everything you need to know. for instance. the most important thing about running a smooth server, is the servers rate settings. sv_maxrate 10000 << you cant go wrong with this setting for internet servers, you may want to try 20000 if your not capped by the data center or your game server provider. sv_minrate 0 or 500 i have found that either of these settings do well leagues use 7500. sv_maxupdatrate i wouldnt set this any higher then 60 for HL1 mods for SRCDS i guess 101. sys_tickrate for HL1 mods 66 or 100 if you want better hit reg, the higher the more CPU used. you can boost this using a highres timer such as media player minimized or a swf file opned in IE minimized. (windows only) FPS_max SRCDS only 300 fps i believe is default. that should get you started but make sure to read those threads. good luck. -------Original Message------- From: Adam Sando Date: 03/23/06 19:12:36 To: [email protected] Subject: [hlds] SRCDS Windows Server Best Practices Hi guys, I run SRCDS on a Windows XP machine with a P4 2.6GHz CPU, and around 512MB RAM. I am curious to know from all the server admins out there, what you see are the best practices for installing/configuring/running a SRCDS machine running on a Windows based Operating system. Best practices for XP and Server 2003 Std/Enterprise would be good :) I believe our server runs quite good with great rego, however half of that is potentially due to the data-centre it runs in. Your feedback would be greatly appreciated guys and girls!
