Also have server fps spikes and generally much lower server fps since the
halloween update. Running on windows. Haven't installed the optional update
though.

My MvM server is running with the newest metamod snapshot and SM disabled
on mvm_coaltown, and hasn't crashed.

Re: [hlds_linux] Poor TF2 performance on a dedicated server

[dave . rosca]

What effects are you seeing in-game?

I'm hoping to get some advice from the undoubted wealth of experience  
subscribed to this list.




We've got dedicated server, 6 x 2.3ghz (AMD Opteron 6276), 16GB RAM,  
200GB HDD, which struggles to run a full 24 slot TF2 server smoothly.




It used to be running CentOS 5.x, and a TF2 server would occasionally  
spike beyond 100% of a core. Months of experimentation resulted in some  
improvement, but nothing really satisfying.


Also tried all the things suggested in  
http://wiki.fragaholics.de/index.php/EN:Linux_Optimization_Guide




For the last few days, it's been rebuilt with Debian 6.0 with a  
built-on-the-box kernel of 3.3.1, following the recommendations listed in  
the fragaholics' wiki.



http://wiki.fragaholics.de/index.php/EN:Kernel_Configuration_General




Still there has been no improvement. If anything it's worse with  
sustained periods of srcds_linux requiring more than 100% of a core.





The TF2 server is just running a basic sourcemod setup.




Any advise would be very gratefully received. Could it be that the  
hardware is simply not up to it regardless of OS and configuration?




Has anyone here manage to get a 24 slot TF2 server to run smoothly on the  
same or comparable hardware?





Happy to supply any further info as required.
