Hello everyone! New user here... I have a few questions. Is there anyone out there successfully running a lag-free 32 slot Linux TF2 Server? I have recently purchased a dedicated server with the following specs:
10mbps uplink 2 GB Ram Quadcore 3.2ghz Xeon (I can get more information if you guys need it). Anyways, I'm running a 66 tickrate server with the server process being confined to one processor, and when the server gets 26+ people in it the CPU is at 95+%. We tried running 32 slot for a short while but the server lag was unbearable. We have it down to 28 now and it still can get bad at times once we cross the 26 person threshold. The only notable server start up options are as follows: "-pingboost 2 -fork -tickrate 66" I must admit I'm a newbie in terms of running TF2 servers but I'm pretty competent when it comes to Linux. The server is CentOS (uname info): Linux xxxxxx.host 2.6.26.8-rt16 #2 SMP PREEMPT RT Sun Mar 29 10:18:58 CDT 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux I have also recompiled the kernel using the Fragaholic wiki http://wiki.fragaholics.de/index.php/EN:Linux_Kernel_Optimization#Setting_your_servers_to_run_with_realtime_scheduling Did not see much improvement over the default kernel. Any help is much appreciated -Brian _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
