Cod4

[potato]

My customers are complaining that cod4 is lagging

 

anyway to make it stop?

[dimitrifrom31]

post your config and specs.

 

 

This most likely will depend of your hardware, network and if you overlaod your machine.

 

CoD4 doesnt require a lot of ressources so you may be either overloading, either having network isssues.

 

But checking your cod4 config files could help too.

Server specs

Intel Quad Core Q9550, 4GB Ram, 500GB Hard Drive

 

the config is the default one but they installed promod on it

Well it's a private server and they say it only happens when they are in a scrim with alot of people

How many servers do you have running on this box?

How many servers do you have running on this box?

 

i had 20 servers all about 10 - 12 slots

 

do you think thats overdoing it? for the server i currently have?

[Santino Cid]

I would recommend a RAM upgrade to 8GB. COD4 servers are know to be RAM hogs and 20 of them on 4GB does not seem right to me. And you have to factor in what Windows and all its services/apps are using.

 

Do you have anything else running on this server? A web server of any type? MySQL? Is it your TCAdmin master and web server?

 

If so, I would recommend getting a small VPS to run all these extra things as they can really bog down a game server machine.

[potato]

nonono i had had maybe 3 cod4 servers running. 10 l4d and the rest were aa and test servers.

[jcroom]

check perfmon... see what your resource usage is

[Santino Cid]

The only problem I've seen remotely similar to this is when the NIC is not configured correctly.

 

If your NIC is on auto negotiation try setting it manually to 100 full duplex. It may not be the issue but worth a shot.

Don't go playing with your Duplex settings. If they don't match the switch it will go offline until your provider fixes it.

[Santino Cid]

Yeah, most likely it's not the problem. It was a pretty unique issue we had a few times with a couple boxes. The auto negation wasn't working properly and cause major packet loss and speeds of about 3KB/s. Imagine what that will do to game servers...

 

As for the issue at hand: Does this happen to all players on the box? Or just that specific COD4 server?

[dimitrifrom31]

check tca report (ram, cpu) for the machine and then for each game server running on it.

And idd if your servers get full at peak hours you may lack ram.
