Neph what OS are you running,, and why (if I am reading your post right) is your stats reporting a FPS of 3831.42 ?
have you tried not setting an affinity to any one core? ~kennycom ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nephyrin Zey" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, August 28, 2008 12:36 AM Subject: [hlds_linux] srcds CPU usage, again. > I've complained before about how srcds chugs massive amounts of CPU, but > now that I've enabled SourceTV it's gotten absolutely absurd.
