Hi there, The latest update made all my CS 1.6 servers unusable. I'm experiencing major FPS drops, thus latency is heavily impacted (>200 average).
I've tried a pure install (today, so after the latest fix) to no avail. Here are some stats on an empty server, distil clean installation: ./hlds_run -game cstrike -port 22222 CPU In Out Uptime Users FPS Players 0.00 0.00 0.00 0 0 84.11 0 Then loading the map (de_dust2): CPU In Out Uptime Users FPS Players 0.00 0.00 0.00 0 0 4.00 0 stats CPU In Out Uptime Users FPS Players 0.00 0.00 0.00 0 0 4.90 0 stats CPU In Out Uptime Users FPS Players 0.00 0.00 0.00 0 0 6.53 0 stats CPU In Out Uptime Users FPS Players 0.00 0.00 0.00 0 0 9.89 0 stats CPU In Out Uptime Users FPS Players 0.00 0.00 0.00 1 0 9.79 0 stats CPU In Out Uptime Users FPS Players 0.00 0.00 0.00 1 0 4.00 0 stats CPU In Out Uptime Users FPS Players 0.00 0.00 0.00 1 0 9.79 0 stats CPU In Out Uptime Users FPS Players 0.00 0.00 0.00 1 0 9.79 0 stats CPU In Out Uptime Users FPS Players 0.00 0.00 0.00 1 0 4.90 0 So it's stable 4-10 FPS on an idling server. All settings as default (like fps_max - 72.0 etc.). Loading the map gives me quite popular errors: [S_API FAIL] SteamAPI_Init() failed; unable to update local steamclient. Continuing with current version anyway. Adding master server 68.142.72.250:27010 Adding master server 69.28.151.162:27010 registry.cpp (216) : Assertion Failed: !"Implement me" Memory usage is normal, CPU ~0%. The same applies to Half-Life servers (-game valve). -noaff option doesn't change anything. In the meantime, idle Counter-Strike: Source servers behave OK: CPU In Out Uptime Users FPS Players 0.00 0.00 0.00 0 0 169.89 0 Any clues what could be causing this weird behaviour?
