Perhaps for the HPET portion but:
Unreal 3 engine does this
COD engine does this
Multiple other engines do this as well
Is still true.

This is incorrect. Before this update, even if you
were running Windows 2008 with HPET enabled, you still needed to
run srcdsfpsbooster or an equivalent in order to maintain
250fps/500fps/1000fps etc.

Hmm, well that's no good. What about programs or bios settings
that cause the high resolution timer to be lower than
expected?

Also I believe that even Windows 2008 with HPET enabled in the
bios will have the same effect. Are srcds servers going to run
badly if HPET is enabled or other softwares are installed that
cause the high resolution timer to be 0.997ms?

Oh. I kind of assumed that people wouldn't still be
running those "FPS boost" hacks now. I'm sure that they
interact terribly with the new timing code. Please get
rid of those. We probably should have called that out in
the update notice.

This maybe useful to some people.
I was running higher FPS servers (500 fps) 0n my win
2008R2 server with sourcefpsbooster running. After
the update I noticed lots of lag but once I disabled
the fps booster the lag went away. As there is no
need for it when the tick/fps is locked at 66. So
maybe that will help some of you. I personally now
can't tell a difference.

Subject: Re: [hlds] Max FPS
I too couldn't care less about the raging nerds who
try to squeeze the
last bit of performance out of their game, even if
it gives them an
unfair advantage over the majority of other players.
The game should be
fun and fair for everyone. Believe it or not, I'm
still playing with a
PC dated 2005 and my client FPS drop below 20 quite
often in TF2. I
highly doubt that anyone would notice any difference
in server FPS
playing from such a machine, and I'm quite happy
that Valve levels the
playing field in this regard. If - for some people -
the in-game
experience isn't smooth enough, I recommend getting
a life.

Just one thing - keep going valve, i really
appreciate the changes you
guys are doing regarding fps and tickrate! I might
even start playing
css again because of this :)
(Please don't start flaming me for spamming your
inboxes, i'm just
trying to give valve a heads up instead of raging
about locked server
side fps sucks :(
