heheh - I've got about a dozen players in right now - cpu is bouncing between 60 and 70%, fps on server is about 80. UPload is about 300kbps spiking at about 400, download is only 180 or so. cpu is my bottleneck right now, but it's pretty steady - I'm not spiking past 80%.
If you don't know the map, you would indeed not last long. A lot of the people on at any time know it fairly well, and they can be brutal. They even whip my butt when I try to play with them :( ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rick Payton" <[email protected]> To: "Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, May 20, 2009 3:57 PM Subject: Re: [hlds] Top Cheating FeaturesBypassingVAC?(wasVoogrucheaterplugin) > Well I don't have op4 installed, but ping averaged 132 from work. > Apparently, you can start downloading op4 and play with only 16% of the > content downloaded.
