Long game install time, is this normal

[fantome2024]

Hi I have windows server 2008 installed on a new 3.1ghz quad core server with raid 5 setup. I'm not noticing any cpu spikes or other software realated issues.

 

I downloaded a copy of tf2 last night and set it up in the correct folder. I went to install a test copy of tf2 for a client and its been about 5 minutes on the directory size is only 500megs. Does tcadmin copy the data to the user directory slowly to prevent a spike in performance or something or is there an issue?

If it is moving from disk to disk the file copy should go as fast as the disk speed will allow it.

TF2 is over 2.2GB rared up with medium compression. If yours is 500MB then its most likely the fact that you compressed the hell out of it and the extraction process is taking more time.

i just have the installation files sitting open in the installation directory I never rar'd them or any other kind of zip format

Then it can;t be 500MB.. Might want to re-run the hldsupsater and get fresh files.

He's telling that only 500Mb out of some bigger size were copied on user directory.

 

Check the logs. Did you restart monitor during server creation?
