Correct, I was one of the folks discussing this in the last round of messages and we run on Linux. Since my last message about having disabled replays I still get occasional hiccups in a full server, but nowhere near as bad as before, owing to the lack of replay overhead.
I'd be happy to run diagnostics if they were available for Linux, but alas that's not the case. ________________________________ From: Alex Kowald <[email protected]> To: Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, May 13, 2013 1:16:04 PM Subject: Re: [hlds] TF2 server performance spikes You are only accepting traces for windows servers correct? Some of the people that have complained are running linux. I have the issue myself on two independent servers. We get this new game studder after upgrading, leaving everything else the same.
