Heya guys (and gals?); I run a very busy, 32 max player CS:S server running 24/7 cs_assault, along with mani admin plugin.
When my CS:S server hits about 26, specially 27 or higher people, it goes from being just fine, no lag, no problems, to tons of lag, everyone is boucning around the map, lots of complaints, etc. Although, at 25 players its just fine, sometimes at 26 its fine. I've messed around alot with the tickrate, minrate, maxrate's and other stuff, and I just can't get it to stop lagging! I closely monitor the cpu and ram usage around that period from 20+ to 28 players, and its about the same, never goes above about 45% cpu. I also watch the "choke" in game according to net_graph 3, and theres no joke its always at 0 or 1 for a second, and no one's pings go higher. Here's the machine's details, incase you want to know: Dual Xeon 2.8Ghz 800FSB w/ HT Red Hat Enterprise Linux V3 Linux Kernel 2.6.13-2 (also tried the stock 2.4.X kernel). SCSI HDD's So the machine should have no troubles, and like I said the cpu usage is low and doesn't spike or anything. So if any one could suggest some settings to help me out here, i'd be grateful! Thank you all in advance! -Jason L.
