Server LAG

[kaosx]

I was just told today that if you leave a server on the same map without restarting it can cause the server to stutter as in if we had low FPS.

 

I have noticed that with 1 server i have running its a dust2 warmod server and i have to restart it atleast once aday..

 

I can also jump on a clients server that hasnt been restart in 3days and its still running as smooth as silk..

 

So iam just wondering if anyone else has every experienced this or knows about it

Probably the mod.

[Todd Holley]

Most likely the mod, but still that should not be the case at all. Although I did restart my windows machines automatically every 7 days.

I also reboot our servers once a week automatically.

 

Because COD servers slowly eat up resources that they dont need. So I just do it to be sure there is no lag, but like Jason said its prob the mod because ive never noticed lag firsthand.

Funny the other servers have the same mod installed and they have a map rotation maybe leaving on 1 map to long starts to eat up some ram i wonder?

Also how do you reboot automatically.?

I can't remember the exact parameters, but have a look at the shutdown command. Then, setup a scheduled task in Windows to run the shutdown command with the correct paramters (such as rebooting instead of standard shutdown!).

.Bat file

 

 

shutdown -r -f -t 5

 

run that as a task.

Exactly what I always have used. Works like a charm and is very easy to add as a scheduled task.

 

I don't remember exactly, but I remember a couple of people telling me that windows turned to crap after a couple of weeks to a month. Which is the main reason I did weekly restarts. Maybe someone could go into further detail as of why this is helpful, or even if it is in the first place.

Wouldn't that be the answer to all things this world. WE have just accepted this is the way of windows. I don't think even Bill Gates has the answer to that.

[Johnny5_Hull]

No, and I bet Bill doesn't need a script to autostart his servers either......

 

Probably pays some young flexible philly to just go round pressing the restart it for him.....Scantily clad of course

 

I know I would with that kind of cash
