[hlds] Normal srcds FPS Behavior?

2010-11-10 Thread ohnoes
OK, so I'm wondering if some people could share their experiences with me on this issue. I'm running a TF2 srcds server... and I've tried it on Ubuntu 10.10, Gentoo, Windows Server 2008, and Windows Server 2003, yet I get the same results in FPS. I've been noticing on my server that FPS can

Does anybody know about what type of hardware it'd actually take to run a 24 person TF2 and a 12 person TF2, with 5 sourcetv slots (including constant 2 recording slots), and to run hlstatsx:ce for the 24 person TF2 on the same machine, but have the web server and database on a different

Does anybody know if these problems occur for the old engine, like with CS:S (non-beta)? I'm also thinking if this is an issue with the TF2/orangebox engine, the new CS:S will probably be affected in the same way. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list

That's the problem though... We can have a freshly formatted machine, install practically any OS to it... nothing else but the OS and the srcds stuff... and load up 24 slots, fill them, and that fps does drop below 66 at times; with no addons, plugins, stats, or anything else going on.

We're renting a VDS from here: https://www.nfoservers.com/order-virtual-dedicated-server.php It's the first plan, so... 1 GB RAM, plus a HT'ed Nehalem core.. probably at least 2 GHz. They also moved us to different hardware and it still does the same thing.

You think there's too much scheduler latency even on a Xen? I'm pretty sure they're using Xen. I use either 'rcon stats' or fpsmeter.org for the main part, which uses the same technique. We tried putting a 24 slot pub TF2 and a 12 slot private TF2 on it and it pretty much choked...

Yeah, we went with this host on VDS expecting to be able to run one 24 slot pub and a 12 slot private and even when they were full have no problems... which is clearly not the case with the 1 core VDS package. On Wed, 10 Nov 2010 15:39:03 -0600, ja...@pctoolbin.com wrote: Well, I had three

Aaron, you get that on the single core plan? Because with just a single 24 slot running on ours, with no non-OS processes, on Win 2003, here are actual readings from 'rcon stats': 514.59, 85.32, 504.91, 54.04, 63.97, 42.70, 56.95, 60.04 The host temporarily gave us another core, but it

Yes; SourceTV is a requirement for us. But upon disabling it, I don't see much, if any, difference. We will play with the threads and cvars and reply back. On Wed, 10 Nov 2010 15:05:28 -0800, John lists.va...@nuclearfallout.net wrote: Also, you're not running a SourceTV in there at the

Are you saying its going to always drop below the tick rate on a VDS, direct hardware, or both? On Wed, 10 Nov 2010 18:16:49 -0500, Gary Stanley FPS is measured by syscalls. Because of context switching, interrupt overhead, syscall latency, and scheduler latency, you'll always have
