We're running two 32 player DOD servers. One on CentOS 4.x and the other on Fedora Core RC3.
Here is our starup info: Start command (Was using heapsize of 512000, but memory never seems to be the issue...at least not yet. ./srcds_run -game dod +ip x.x.x.x +port xxxxx -heapsize 256000 -dll addons/mani_admin_plugin_i486.so -secure +maxplayers 32 +map dod_avalanche -tickrate 100 +fps_max 600 +exec server.cfg -autoupdate -pidfile dod.pid & > /dev/null Crontab */5 * * * * renice -5 `cat /<doddir>/dod/dod.pid` >/dev/null 2>&1 With the server at 31/32 (reserved slot empty) we have the following: PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 26219 dod1 10 -5 176m 107m 9484 S 81.2 10.8 25:09.27 srcds_amd We never seem to have memory issues... just CPU issues. We're running our servers on AMD 3000+ Barton Procs w/ 1 GB RAM and 1 80 GB 10K RPM HDD. We have one server using 100 mbps eth int and the other using 10 mbps eth int. Using 10 or 100 mbps ints doesn't seem to make a difference. Here is our server.cfg.
