I used to have an issue similar to this on my dual 3GHz xeon box. The skipping mostly happened during large battles and map changes. Turns out it was logging - the scsi card and drives in this box aren't exactly the best, and the read/write overhead from all the disk writes due to logging *everything* was causing a significant amount of server lag under certain circumstances. So I turned logging to file off:
sv_logbans "1" sv_logecho "1" sv_logfile "0" While keeping logged events visible to the console window and to any other program (like hlstatsx or psychostats) that needed them. This solved my problem. I don't know enough about your system to make a truly decent suggestion, but this may be one thing to try, see what happens. - Keith Simpson - http://www.hardfought.org -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of leo bounds Sent: Sunday, October 28, 2007 11:11 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [hlds] TF2 Lag issues still, Dual Xeon 2.8Ghz I have been trying to get this problem sorted out for a while. I tried the suggestions people gave on this list before and none have helped. System specs: Win 2003 Server Dual Xeon 2.8Ghz (not dual core) 4GB memory Server load: CPU, memory and network utilization aren't an issue from what I have seen from hours of looking. I have been trying to sort this problem out for several days now. I have seen the issue on several different server machines so it's not isolated to just one server box. I have tried running the servers at both 66 and 100 tick, boosting the FPS to 600, fps_max 600 I have tried running them at the default rate settings and also these that were suggested: sv_minrate 4000 sv_maxrate 20000 sv_maxupdaterate 85 sv_minupdaterate 10 sv_maxcmdrate 66 Description of Problem: When above more than 14 or so players join the server, This is the description of the problem: "stuttering across the map, rockets were skipping etc. Others were complaining too. This is definately not the users end since they say they can play on other servers without this problem. As I said I have been trying to get this problem sorted out for several days and so far have been unable to. The strange thing is I have never had a problem with CSS, DODS, or INS servers at all just TF2. I would appreciate any helpful feedback.
