That's quite odd. I'm running multiple tf2 servers all at 24 slots, almost always full. All are Debian 5.0.8 x32. Have been running them on esxi 4 and 4.1 and never heard any complaints. Are you having the engine do verbose logging to disk? I do have logging turned off, but that was a recent change.
Are you swapping to disk a lot inside the vm? Steven J. Sumichrast On Nov 13, 2011, at 11:01 AM, Phillip Burk <[email protected]> wrote: > I have a TF2 server set up on a Debian 6 VM.
