that isnt a default port lol... 27015 would be a default port there is no "range"

 

That's not what I meant...

[Derek]

We have about 30 l4d2 servers already running and noone has yet to complain..

[trancemode]

I have a problem

 

server fps is about 24-35 max, i have fpsbooster running, +fps_max 500 in commandline, fps_max 500 in server.cfg, -tickrate 66 in command line and sv_maxupdate/cmdrate ect all set.

 

But i still get 35 max server fps and no more than 30 tick thorugh to the clients.

 

My setup is a quad xeon 2.4, 180GB HDD, 4GB RAM, colocated box. Client fps (graphics) are fine and pings are fine, but every receives stutter / low server fps.

 

My css servers are running at 512fps, tf2 servers are running at roughly 400 fps, its just L4D2 thats the problem

 

Any help?

 

Just like what Derek said, you can't get over 35 FPS on Left 4 Dead games.

 

that is what Valve locked it at. and i don't really see a point of getting over 35 since the game is really playable.

I see someones already mentioned the sv_password crashes a server ..

 

I found that sv_steamgroup also killed the server too ...

 

I don't have the sv_steamgroup problem but I think sv_password does crashes the server or if you put a password.

 

anyone else tried this?

[dimitrifrom31]

doesnt crash the server actually, it just changes the query or something like that making the server invisible for both TCA and HLSW altho the server is still working and u can even still send it rcon commadns via HLSW.

its like if setting a password was making it invisible.

Sorry guys, as someone pointed out, the config i used contained invalid characters when setting the rcon password in the server.cfg

 

Updated the OP with details and a fixed config.

[trancemode]

alright thanks!

so its basically

%rconpassword%

with out the ""

 

or basically we just have to re-enter the ""?

"%rconpassword%"

"%rconpassword%"

 

 

wahtever works but i recommend quotes for pass with spaces

%rconpassword%

"%rconpassword%"

 

re-enter the "".

 

The config was copied from a text document which contained non-standard text, and the two quotation marks were the problem.

If you look closely you can see that they are slightly tilted in comparison to the standard " - It might take a magnifying glass for some to see, but it's there.

[dimitrifrom31]

thank you for your useless answer.

 

Someone can answer me, please?

 

so u were not joking huh?

if ur a gsp do u get some infos about the games you host actually?

If ur not a GSP but a lfd player then you should already know that you can get only 4 players in coop and 8 in versus.

 

Tip : the answer to your first question is in this post

[KOhosting]

Be sure and read every reply(even the ones that look sarcastic on the surface) It is pointless for anyone to continue answering if you are not reading.

[savino]

Thank you.

 

Of course I read the first post, and I didn't find the answer.

[trancemode]

pretty much you can only get

4 players in campiagn mode or realism

 

8 players in versus or scavenge mode.

Oh, I see.

 

Hm.. thats weird.. i did the method 2 where you edit the default config file.

and it seems like that still doesn't work.

 

but i didn't reinstall the game server yet

however, I'll just copy + paste and overwrite the existing.

hm, some how using the config or changing the "" still brings the server invisible and unseen able in HLSW or TCAdmin query.

[proclan]

Here's an updated config over 25 servers running off it and game-monitor enabled. You'll need to change the motd.
