Since the none compulsory update in March where some changes were made to apparently decrease CPU usage we've been noticing degradation in server performance. However unlike a lot of complaints on the mailing list / forums we haven't really noticed our average CPU usage go up much - a couple of spikes here and there but certainly none of this 'maxing out my server' business that some people are encountering. The performance drop after the non-compulsory update in March ended up in us rolling back the update because bullet registry and warping was really poor. After rolling back the update everything (bar the in-game VAC secure icon on connecting to servers) was perfect again. However after the compulsory update the other day we're having the same problem again (although it doesn't seem quite as bad) that's over a month since when the issue was first reported, I really hoped that would have been sufficient time for Valve to fix it but this doesn't seem to be the case. >From a good browse on the forums there has been plenty of discussion about >this matter and quite a few people are in a position where they are having to >jump ship to Windows which is a real shame. What concerns me the most though >is that there is very little discussion about it on the mailing list. What >does this mean, that people are noticing the issue or that they don't care? >My point is that issues like these are not going to get fixed unless enough >people start making a fuss (and I don't mean fuss as in "OMFG I HATE YOU >VALVE!!!111" - etc) I would be really interested to know how many others have picked up on these anomalies, especially on higher tickrate servers since the last compulsory / non-compulsory update.
