-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] I have a CS:Source server on a Dell Precision 650 dual 2.4ghz zeon w/ 2 gig of ram and raid 0 U320 15k scsi drives (W2k3 with Windows Firewall On). I believe i have plenty of horsepower to run a 20 player server, my FPS is 512 usually w/ no players in the server. It's dedicated to running GunGame w/ custom gg_ maps. Processor rarely goes past 30% utilization and i have srcds running at "above normal". Processor affinity is set to both procs plus both hyperthreading virtual procs Shows a total of 4 procs because HT is on). I have done some speed tests and found that my servers download speed is 9500Kbps and upload is 5500 Kbps.
In my mind the settings below are optimal and very conservative considering i'm only running one srcds server on this box. I continually get Choke, lots and lots of choke. I can't figure out why this is happening. I'm thinking it might be the maps because some maps have more choke than others. I've read many many guides (all of which preached different philosophies...very confusing sometimes) and have tried everything. I wish Valve had a guide on the site that covered higher tickrate optimization like 66 or 100 tick. Any thoughts on this issue would be greatly appreciated. My server.cfg settings are: 128.135.94.192:27015 //Server Name hostname "Multideath GunGame Server Knife-Pro" // Advanced RCON sv_rcon_banpenalty 20 sv_rcon_maxfailures 10 sv_rcon_minfailures 5 sv_rcon_minfailuretime 30 //Log internal to cs log off sv_logbans 0 sv_logecho 0 sv_logfile 0 sv_log_onefile 0 mp_logmessages 0 mp_logdetail 0 //Lag Compensation sv_unlag 1 sv_maxunlag .1 fps_max 600 //Server cvars mp_friendlyfire 0 mp_footsteps 1 mp_flashlight 1 mp_freezetime 1 mp_limitteams 2 mp_falldamage 1 sv_gravity 800 sv_maxspeed 320 sv_allowupload 0 sv_voiceenable 1 sv_voicecodec voice_speex sv_voicequality 1 sv_alltalk 0 sv_consistency 1 decalfrequency 60 sv_timeout 40 sv_hltv 0 sv_pausable 0 //Cheats sv_aim 0 sv_cheats 0 //server rates sv_maxrate 20000 sv_minrate 5000 sv_maxupdaterate 66 sv_minupdaterate 20 sv_lan 0 sv_filterban 1 //Region Settings sv_region 0 //Exec Configs exec banned_user.cfg exec mani_server.cfg Thanks, Pete -- _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
