Yeah I admitt I loled when writting this one :)
Preloading L4D2 demo dedicated data would be nice, even if binaries
aren't shipped for now as it would avoid the rush of all GSPs / server
admins downloading XGb on T time but only a few Mb..
Best regards

What I'm asking is not how many can you spawn in a given amount of

without lagging? I find that I run out of CPU way before

CPU shouldn't be much of an issue. Each game takes on average 10-15% of a
core. There are obviously spikes that go

The night that Nick is referring to was when the Survival pack was
released. We were running 320 instances of Left 4 Dead across 5 IBM
HS21XM blades (Dual E5450s - 3Ghz each core) and the majority of the
servers had players on them. All of the cores were running at 90+% CPU
usage for a few
I have a dual xeon 3ghz, i had 6 forks running on it, but with 5x 8 people
in versus mode people
started to complain and i indeed could see that the cpu's where maxed out.
Running on linux debian, but if i hear these story's then it should be
able to do more no?

I think you'll find those saying they are running anything more than 4-8
servers on something like a Dual 3GHz are talking about idle servers.
Here's a nice experiment, go start a L4D lobby (one only) and let it fill. Wait
for an infected wave and some specials. Look at your CPU usage.
I would
E5450 != 3Ghz classic Xeons.
A single core (of which there are 4) on an E5450 is more powerful than a
3Ghz Xeon CPU.

True, but 320/5/4 is still 16 servers.. and i stop at 5, so basicly i can
have 4 in vs mode (32 players) and thats my max.
Just talking out loud, but i presume this is normal when they are active
which is almost all the time. (i have people on it at the strangest times)
but i have to say i have a
I'm running Intel Core 2 Quad /Q9550/ 2.83GHz 12MB L2 Cache 1333MHz
Front side Bus speed, which should be pretty close to a E5450, though
maybe not quite. Yet I can't run anything close to 32 active servers on
this. 4-5 tops. Not sure why, just saying.

Milton,

Didn't you know they aren't doing dedicated servers for L4D2? Instead
Valve have listened to the community and they are using IWNET which
will take PC gaming in a new and better direction.
There will be much more lag and you'll be limited to 6 players due to
the use of low quality home DSL and
Well, no need to start a flame in here, they already think GSP signed

+ do you really think they even read the community's feedback ?

Thank you VALVE for this email, glad to see some
Hello,
Does anyone how the server hardware requirements and resource usage for
L4D2 will compare to L4D? If I can run 6 L4D forks on my server now,
will I be able to run 6 L4D2 forks on an identical server? I'd like to
get a box together prior to the release of the L4D2 demo.
Thanks,
I don't imagine L4D2 will be anymore intensive than L4D...unless I'm
mistaken, it's the same basic game in a different setting.

I assume the same, but I'm not sure if tweaks to the AI and so forth
have affected the CPU usage.

There's a year worth of code changes, more features, more enemies
(special zombies) controlled by AI. You can bet that L4D2 server eats
more CPU than L4D server.

He's right and fwiw I am more than positive (but cannot quote for truth)
they mentioned that the AI Director would be much more advanced in this
version.
At the time I remember thinking to myself hmm damn, less instances of L4D
per box for hosting ...
On Thu, Oct 22, 2009 at 7:46 AM, ics
They've also had a lot of time to optimize the relatively new director
system. No one has offered any real concrete facts here, only the usual
extrapolated speculation.
The other thing to think about are the new (supposedly bigger) maps,
especially the water-based bayou one, and melee weapon
It'll probably take a little more processing power per fork, I don't see it
as being that substantial of an increase. I'd be amazed if it is really
worth noting.
