Hi, could somebody please enlighten me? Since the players can't see if a server is running VAC or VAC2; what is then the great advance of using VAC2 from a server hosting point-of-view (e.g. 32bit binaries versus 64bit)?
>From my point-of-view is it only a matter of having a smooth game process in terms of CPU usage and that kind of things. I really don't care if it's VAC or VAC2! nullbit -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] På vegne af Knuts - jolt.co.uk Sendt: 22. januar 2007 19:48 Til: [email protected] Emne: RE: [hlds_linux] socket 939 Opteron Don't get me started on lack of 64 bit cpu support!! The main downside is no VAC2, you get VAC1 when you use amd64 binaries. ***SHAKES FIST*** -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Andreas Kang Schøyen Sent: 22 January 2007 18:03 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [hlds_linux] socket 939 Opteron Btw, whats the downside when you use the 64bit binary?

I have AMD64 debian installations, and if I run hlds_amd binary (the 32bit one) the server FPS is only ~200-300 and it consumes ~3-5% CPU at IDLE, and with 10 players about 20%... With the outdated hlds_amd64 binary the FPS is constantly 500 and the server consumes about ~5-8% CPU with 10 players. I suggest that if you want to run the updated 32bit binary, you're better have pure 32bit OS. The outdated hlds_amd64 binary is IMO better and the hitreg is perfect. I don't care how outdated it is, becauce the fact is that it performs much better than the 32bit installation, and consumes less CPU. I'll update to the 32bit installation only when the 64bit binary wont work anymore. REMEMBER: don't fix it if it ain't broken.. And btw, the hlds_run script doesn't autodetect 64bit processors anymore, because valve has changed the script to run only with hlds_amd binary (even if you have 64bit processor). And why is this? Because the 64bit binary is very old, and they don't update it anymore. But it still works fine. --- Valtteri Andreas Kang Schøyen kirjoitti: > The CPU support 64bits, and I have installed 64bit debian. > > When I run the amd64 bit binary for hlds the cpu load decreases with 70%.. > > Med vennlig hilsen: > Andreas Kang Schøyen > It konsulent > NovaNett IT A/S > Adr: Grønland 14, 0188 Oslo > E-post: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Tlf: 22170020 / Mob 96998888 > Faks: 22178218 > Web: www.novanett.no > > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Whisper > Sent: Monday, January 22, 2007 4:04 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] socket 939 Opteron > > -- > [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] > On that note > > If I recall correctly from reading this list, is it correct to say that the > Linux 32 bit binary runs better if the Linux OS is running 64bit mode > natives, assuming the CPU supports 64bit? > > On 1/23/07, Andreas Kang Schøyen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> I have Debian and the new socket 939 opteron installed, i see that by >> default hlds_run starts hlds_amd and not hlds_amd64. why? >> >> When I run hlds_amd64 with pingboost 2 and 10 players on the server, the >> CPU load is 0-3% and peaks at 8% (mapchange etc).. >> >> WOW!! :) >> >> _______________________________________________ >> 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 > _______________________________________________ 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 _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
