Hello, Team Fortress 2 has been the most popular multiplayer game out of the Orangebox and probably even more popular than HL:DM. There are changes and improvements that must be made to the SRCDS to maintain its popularity.
One improvement are highly of most of our concerns, multi-threading support for Linux servers. Multi-threading will improve server performance and with multi-threading support, Team Fortress 2 servers can even support more than 32 players. This means that bots can run more effectively on servers as well. As you can see in MvM game mode, the game's latency will increase once the bot waves begin due to bottleneck. It would be upsetting to get killed by bots who aren't affected by latency while having at least 40 micro-second increase in latency. Another bad thing about being bottleneck is that everything will freeze up too and will also result in server crashes. With multi-thread support, latency will decrease and chances of server freezing up will also be decreased. I hope Valve will take into serious considerations regarding multi-thread support for srcds. Thanks. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
