Does the source code (serverside) have SSE3 support? Maybe the code is out of the limits nowadays? I mean, that you can get yourself a super CPU, but CPU usage will be quite disappointing. And how about multicore / multitreath support from the source? Splitting one process on few treaths should lower the usage 2x?
Anyway, growing the CPU usage after every update (like strawberries in the garden) doesn't mean that server providers buy better CPUs. I Wish luck for Valve fighting against server providers :) Pagarbiai, Evaldas Zilinskas, Lemita UAB Tel.: 8~37 312 999, 8~679 26 812 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cc2iscooL" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, December 29, 2006 12:16 AM Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] [Question to Valve] High system load with CS Source server -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] I'm not sure if many of the people on this list exactly understand what they're talking about. While we do not like the fact that the CPU usage of the servers continues to increase, taking down a few servers for 24 hours is not going to ruin anyone's day...not Valve's, not the players, not really anyone besides the people who commonly play on your server(s). Right now, as of 4:12 PM CST (GMT -6) there are *Total Players/Max*: 51,953 / 257,076 (20.21%). These are all public servers with sv_password set to zero.

I think not. Again, I'd like to clarify that I am also not very happy about the CPU usage going up, but shutting down a few servers for 24 hours isn't going to do much impact unless you can take down Valve's master server. Maybe you can create another huge storm off the coast of Washington? Personally, my servers will be staying online. On 12/28/06, Rónai György <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
[ Converted text/html to text/plain ] Then lets see, how big the project can be. I dont think, that because of 24 hours outage we will loose that much players. And they will be informed too. As of my part, i can inform most of the hungarian servers, and they will join us. Who is with us, with the 24 Hours server shut down next week? Locutus ics írta: Nah dont do that mate, you just lose your own players because they dont care that much and just swap to another server. Minority may care but players are sheeps. They want to play and so on. However, i wrote a previous post to this mailing list after that steam outage and i didnt include the lag spikes into that post. Seems that i should have. This issue will propably be left alone once again with no comment from Valve. We have a problem, we try to report it and all we get is ignored. Many people have this problem so clearly it isnt made up. Lets see how long the community will maintain its current people as im sure that at this rate, it wont grow. -ics Rónai György wrote: How does this sound: Lets speak together, and STOP all of our SRCDS processes for 24 hours. For example, from 04. january 13:00 to 05. january 13:00. (and if they are not doing anything - at least an answer to our performance questions, we will do another shutdown later for 48 hours...) Just to get Valve a feeling, how it is, to loose people. We will inform people about the outage before this date, and let everyone know, why we are doing this. I am sure, that every player will understand it.
