The problem of srcds is that it doesn't support multicore. There is a thread with 4 pages in the Steam forums about this "problem": http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1360745 Nobody knows why Valve won't introduce multicore support... -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Im Auftrag von Evaldas Gesendet: Samstag, 21.

Interesting thing is that 2.83GHz can't handle 32 players. CPU load is just to high when many players gather to one place. 28 players is maximum that it handles. But the 3GHz version is just enough. Difference? 170Mhz. Strange isn't it? :-) On Sat, 21 May 2011 05:56:05 +0300, [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote: > I have 2 questions: > > 1.
