Talking about the optimizations, I agree… it’s hard to run a 32slot TF2 server. I have XEON X3360 (2.83GHz) and on some maps it’s impossible to maintain a 66tick rate. It starts dropping to 50 and below, because CPU usage gets up to ~80% of core. Really, I don’t think, that X3380 (3GHz) would do any better. By the way, running a DODs 33slot server only takes ~60% of core. So I maintain the topic... Any TF2 optimizations? :-) Anyone?
By the way Jordan, you can always try +exec server1.cfg +exec server2.cfg and set different mapcycle files. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jordan Toor" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, May 24, 2009 8:54 PM Subject: [hlds_linux] Running 2 instances of TF2 srcds + optimization help > So I'm running currently 1 instance of TF2 on our server, which is a > PowerEdge 2650 which has 2 2.8ghz Xeon processors and 2 GB of ram, on > Ubuntu > SE. > > I have had to set the cap at 18 players because when it is any higher and > either a lot of people are talking or there are a lot of rockets flying > around, it starts to get laggy and I see lerp go yellow on my net_graph 3. > > I would like to run another TF2 instance, since it has a second processor, > so my first question is: > > Is there a way to run 2 instances using the same installation, but I would > like to have different configs for each server?
