bryan Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Hello, I am having a small issue here. I set the tick rate at 100 and fps at 500 on this CSS server. I login and check the tick rate it spikes from 70-100. Im new to the boost in CSS. Is this normal ? IP: 65.175.84.78:27015 Couple people check it out and let me know if you dont mind.

jbiloh Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 CPU load issue probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryan Posted July 3, 2007 Author Share Posted July 3, 2007 I have windows media player and the boost running in the background. From what I read the windows media player just needs to sit there. As for the boost. Ive research and cant find anything on using it to level the cpu loads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECF Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 If your CPU load is too high on the machine, the tickrate will not stay constant at 100 tick. it will bounce up and down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonF Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 What CPU do you have? How many game servers are running on that server? How many slots per game server do you have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryan Posted July 3, 2007 Author Share Posted July 3, 2007 Dual Xeon 2.4 GHZ 3 Servers. All default tick rates. CPU is bouncing from 4-5% - 60-70% I have windows media player open. But not sure how to use the boost. Looked for a manual but havent found anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryan Posted July 3, 2007 Author Share Posted July 3, 2007 Besides the 1 server I am trying to adjust the tick rate on. Its a 24 slot and the config and command line are edited to read 100 tick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matrix4583 Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 24 slot with 100 tick rate is unstable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonF Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 You should not go over 20 slots with 100 tickrate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbiloh Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 The issue is your CPU, especially if HT is on. Your going to need to settle with 66 tickrate or upgrade the hardware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryan Posted July 5, 2007 Author Share Posted July 5, 2007 You starting to realize the power this boost rate is requiring on these machines. Thanks for the input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
