Re: [hlds] Improved engine handling of server queries ?

Re: [hlds] Help.
Don't get burstable RAM (burstable = shared) and ask questions about the HD. It really seems like all the file I/O for srcds is single threaded, so if the file I/O stalls too long you'll get lag spikes. On Tue, Dec 7, 2010 at 1:53 PM, John lists.va...@nuclearfallout.net wrote: Nomy, that's the conventional wisdom about VPSes, and the many levels of sharing that you're describing may be true at many VPS providers (any company with burstable RAM would be an example of one to avoid for a game server), but it's also possible to dedicate CPU cores and memory to each VPS. When this is combined with a high-performance virtualization platform such as Xen, and various tweaks are applied, such as PV-on-HVM drivers and the use of stubdoms, it's possible to get performance that's very close to bare hardware. If a game server wouldn't have problems on a regular dedicated server, it wouldn't have a problem on one of these well-configured virtual servers, either. The disk and network are still shared, but game servers don't actually use the disk much, and modern gigE network adapters have functionality built in that makes them perform at near line-rate for virtualized machines. -John On 12/7/2010 11:23 AM, ]HeLL[ Nomy wrote: There is nothing wrong with virtualisation as long as you use it for web servers etc... Not some busy game servers... because the CPU and the RAM is SHARED. The network connection on the parent machine is also shared across other VPSs. Some GSP advertise that their VPS can handle game servers very well. Thats just BS IMO. If your friend is running CSS, TF2 and Gmod servers on 1 VPS, they wont lag if empty or with few players on. Once they gain popularity, that's when the lag hits all 3 gameservers. If you are on a tight budget, get game server slots, works out alot cheaper than a VPS.

Re: [hlds] Any chance of sv_steamgroup for CS:S / TF2?
The steam group listing IP/ports could be if you kept the existing secret
key too. Right now its trivial for a server to claim its in a steam group,
but the server still has to make that claim. All that is needed is a 2nd
method for a steam group to claim a server. If BOTH the server and the
steam group claims eachother, then the client can list it.
Can't do just a one-way check between a server and a steam group, it needs
to be both ways.

the steam group. And if you want to be able to list a server in multiple
steam groups, allow multiple keywords.
I would also like that tag option to be implemented in all of the games
supported by Valve as well. It's all or nothing honestly. I'm not going to
use the feature if I'm going to end up with double tags because I don't

Re: [hlds] TF2 servers reporting players via Query when empty
This isn't fake players, this is a bug introduced around the same time as ghost players. The server will continue to report a player or two after the server empties out. I've seen users come online, complain about fake players, when there is no fake player utility of any kind installed, running, or otherwise, then quit. The server was empty before and after. But a query shows a player or two. It was almost a dead ringer for fake players. It had 1 or 2 players in the query results who used to be playing on the server, but were no longer. A new player would be properly added to the query list too. Very irritating as it makes it look like there are fake players running! It doesn't happen often, but when it does it really damages a server's reputation for everyone that sees it.

We've been having this issue on all four of our TF2 servers. We haven't really figured out what causes it. Our first thought was that it is related to the ctf_doublecross map, so we pulled it from our rotation on the one server that used it. The problem started to manifest in other servers that weren't running doublecross, though. At this point, we are blaming it on the Equipment Manager sourcemod plugin. Since removing that plugin from our servers, they haven't been freezing. We haven't added doublecross back to the server it was being used on, yet, but I'm really hoping that it's not the cause, since that map is extremely fun to play.

I thought it crashed but when I did status the userids were too high for it just restarting. I checked my logs and sure enough it timed out for about 40-45 seconds or so shortly after the map change.
