[hlds] TF2 Long Map Change
Anyone ever have problems with their TF2 server + on map change it takes a long time. I'm running the server off a rented box so my access is limited but when I look at the server logs here is what I find: L 02/14/2010 - 13:24:05: tv_relaypassword = L 02/14/2010 - 13:24:05: tv_password = L 02/14/2010 - 13:24:05: deathmatch = 1 L 02/14/2010 - 13:24:05: coop = 0 L 02/14/2010 - 13:24:05: sv_cheats = 0 L 02/14/2010 - 13:24:05: sv_pausable = 0 L 02/14/2010 - 13:24:05: sv_contact = L 02/14/2010 - 13:24:05: sv_voiceenable = 1 L 02/14/2010 - 13:24:05: tv_enable = 0 L 02/14/2010 - 13:24:05: server cvars end L 02/14/2010 - 13:25:38: Started map cp_dustbowl (CRC 1303353615) L 02/14/2010 - 13:25:45: server_cvar: tf_gamemode_payload 0 L 02/14/2010 - 13:25:45: server_cvar: sv_tags Vanilla,hlstatsx,increased_maxplayers L 02/14/2010 - 13:25:45: server_cvar: sv_tags Vanilla,hlstatsx,increased_maxplayers L 02/14/2010 - 13:25:45: server_cvar: tf_gamemode_cp 1 Note the times from when server cvars end and started map begins.

Re: [hlds] TF2 Long Map Change
What provider? Likely they either are overselling or limiting disk i/o or ram usage per process which is causing maploads to take a while. I would get in touch with the provider. Also you could try disabling all plugins and test clean but its more likely its a disk or ram issue.

Yeah I google searched and came across that what you describe. I don't load any banned ip's from a cfg so this won't be the issue, I use sourcemod to manage my bans which, at the moment is empty.

Re: [hlds] TF2 Long Map Change
If you can, disable all plugins etc and see if anything speeds up. Try a vanilla config file too. Servers changing maps may be slow because its stuck reading from disk; but a few minutes sounds excessive. When we had 1000 entries in our banlists it only took an extra 30 seconds or so to load the map. - Andrew -Original Message- From: hlds-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:hlds-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of Chris Oryschak Sent: Monday, 15 February 2010 12:00 PM To: Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds] TF2 Long Map Change Yeah I google searched and came across that what you describe.

Re: [hlds] TF2 Long Map Change
It varies, I'm running stock configs, with no sourcemod installed (renamed addons dir) and fastest I've gotten was 13seconds and longest is about 2mins. It's extremely noticeable when going from a good working server to mine. Even the 13seconds until you start to see the map loading on the client seems forever. The guy said he is going to do a defrag on the hard drive... highly doubt that will do anything but I'll wait and see.. and then probably price out a server somewhere else I'm thinking now. -Original Message- From: hlds-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:hlds-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of Cc2iscooL Sent: Sunday, February 14, 2010 9:42 PM To: Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds] TF2 Long Map Change That's kind of an unacceptable response with how much you pay for AoW servers.

Re: [hlds] TF2 Long Map Change
Perhaps the server's disk is stuffed / too slow / overloaded (reading the map from hard disk etc).

Re: [hlds] TF2 Long Map Change
I kind of doubt it'll help. It may change the load times a little, maybe a second or two at best, but it's more likely that something is eating the disk I/O or there's a problem with the box itself. I'd either request a box change or a refund for slow map loading times and unsatisfactory support. If it were a bug in the server it would be all over the mailing list right now, and that hasn't happened since Valve fixed the stats issue...but technically this doesn't mimic that problem at all. I had good luck with Branzone when I was with them, but stay away from their 128 FPS servers. They play like gameservers.com servers.

Re: [hlds] TF2 Long Map Change
In my experience, when it comes to shared game server hosting, slow map loads usually mean lack of free ram. Game servers don't write that much to a disk (log files and such) to bog it down to a point that it will take 2 minutes to load a map. I mean after updates when 4 of my servers start (at the same time) on a 160GB HD with 8 mb cache they all load in under 25 secs. But ram however, is more of an issue. Say your server host runs only 2 (unlikely situation) servers per core and the server has 4 cores, that's over 2 gigs ram on start up and that grows with longer uptime, more plugins, and especially when maps don't change much (idle server. server empty most of the day). One of my idle servers is running the simplest map ever and less than base sourcemod plugins yet the ram usage is over 1GB now heh (last map change over 600 minutes ago). Anyway, that's just what I noticed. On Sun, Feb 14, 2010 at 11:56 PM, Cc2iscooL cc2isc...@gmail.com wrote: I kind of doubt it'll help.
