cengroba Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Hello all, I have a few game servers running of one box. For some reason instead of using RAM it looks like Windows is assigning it to the page file. I have 4GB of memory and it says I have 3.5 available however the pagefile is at 3.1GB!! Does anyone know of a solution to force the games to use ram instead of the pagefile? (Besides disabling it of course ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cengroba Posted April 16, 2007 Author Share Posted April 16, 2007 I'm running several different ones, however if i had to guess it would be cstrike + cstrike source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHeartSmasher Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 When you login to your server or look at the system logs do you notice a memory error. Start up a CS:S server on your pc at home at let it run and you will see what I mean. On windows you can change the system properties. Control Panel-->System-->Advanced-->Performance Settings-->Advanced Play around with the Memory Usage option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cengroba Posted April 17, 2007 Author Share Posted April 17, 2007 No errors Maybe a source server crashing once every few days but surely that cant be the cause of it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHeartSmasher Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 You would be surprised. The next time a server crashes if it is a windows server remote desktop to the server and more then likely you will see the memory leak. Which is probably causing the problem. If that's the case it's STEAM. But the only options for windows is to either set the memory for programs or system cache. Make sure everything is on the right including processor at background services. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
