hi all, most of us know about the lags & problems occured by the latest 2 steam updates. i tested a lot of things (different compilers, linux distributions, 250hz/1000hz, large amount of different css settings, all without any plugins, etc.) - nothing helped.
today i checked some of my backups & luckily found a fresh counterstrike installation from 5th april. i tested that with my friends...long story short: this version is very smooth, compared to latest css release. no round lags, spikes, whatever... i installed this version now on our largest css server (52 slots) currently with 40+ users playing. although the server is running with only 33 tick (!) it is very smooth. well, of course there is an disadvantage by using an older server version: you can not connect to the server by using css-favorites. however, connect via console works perfect (seems to not hinder our players of playing on our server since its quite crowded). for that, i postet a note on our website. for those of you that want to give this a try: http://213.133.110.146/~gameserver/css_2007-04-05.zip (~400MB) this package contains all files which i think are needed. maps, sounds, etc. are not included. just copy the files over your existing server installation. plz backup you directory before doning that! i do not take responsibility for everything! feedback appreciated! :) greetings from germany, karumba _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
