I've had some performance issues lately as well. I have a Dual Dual core opteron using less than 10% of cpu and my clients are complaining that the server will not maintain tickrate(fps). I have tried various settings and configs and I don't even know for sure if it's the server side that is giving the lower fps. Some of my clients think that I need to compile a better kernel on my linux servers? Could this be true?

Unfortunaly I forgot to make an backup before updating, so it would be very nice if someone could tell me, where I can get older HLDS Updates. cheers SecurityFox aXeR (AmmoBOX) wrote: >This is a multi-part message in MIME format. >-- >[ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] >Hi Guys, > >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. > >Cheers, >----- >Jon Roberts >Technical Director >AmmoBOX Networks (Ltd) >Web: www.ammobox.net >Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >-- > > >_______________________________________________ >To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: >http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux > > > > > _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
