Counter-Strike Source jerky/laggy

[xP3000]

Hi,

 

I have this dedicated server spec:

Intel Q6600 2.4Ghz

10K 146GB RPM

8GB DDR2 Ram

Running on TC Admin

 

now the problem is at the moment it is running 1x 32 player source server, ( please note it doesnt matter what game slot the server is running on tested on 12man slot )

 

when you first start the game server up people connect everything is great no problems! but.. when no one has been on the server for around 4-7 hours so its been empty for 4-7 hours and then someone connects onto the server, the server is all jerky / laggy!

 

now if you restart the server it fine again! until its been empty for another 4-7 hours and then starts again so you have to reboot the gaming server again...

 

the problem is this is not good for a public server or even like a zombie server.

 

the OS is Windows Server 2008

 

any one seen this be for?

Sounds like SRCDS to me. Just link it to a single core and see if that solves it.

how could i find out if it's ram issue?

[GodFather]

You can run memtest.

 

Also, remove some of those command line startup configs. Not all of that is necessary

[dimitrifrom31]

try the following cmd line :

-game cstrike -console +ip %serverip% -port %serverport% +maxplayers %slots% +exec server.cfg +map de_dust2 -fps_max 0 -tickrate 100

 

and the following server.cfg :

 

// server name
hostname "%hostname%" 

// rcon passsword
rcon_password "%rconpassword%" 

// Server password
sv_password "%privatepassword%" 

// server cvars

PS and try without addons/mods cuzz i can see in ur server.cfg that u got at least Zblock.

Also try without the tv, disable a maximum of stuffs basically so if it works you can then enable them 1 by 1 and identify which one is causing lags.

i'll try it with a standard server nothing installed onto it and see if that does anything, but i'm sure i've tried this be for and still the same laggy / jerky feel

If its on the same map for more then ~12-24 hours you are going to start to get jerky/laggy.
