Lag

This lag is ridiculous.
Constant minor lagging spikes.

I get lag spikes too, sometimes really big ones, that they last 15+ second O.o

Any tips on how to reduce in game lag would be great =)

I'm working on it as we speak.

This is not going to be an easy task. It's a server-side problem.

you are the best ^_^ I wish i was half as talented as most of the community, lol.

Currently I made a few adjustments.

Tweaked permissions (srcds folder was owned by root)

Code:

chown srcds -R /home/srcds

Changed server startup line..

Code:

/bin/nice -n -1 screen -A -m -d -S css-server ./srcds_run -console -secure -game cstrike +exec server.cfg +map zm_survival_Final +maxplayers 64 +fps_max 2000 +ip 66.197.126.19 +port 27015 -pidfile srcds.pid

Currently messing around with process affinities:

Code:

 taskset -p 0x3 `cat /home/srcds/srcds_l/cstrike/srcds.pid` >/dev/null 2>&1

And, a very simple and sweet "fix" that appears to be making a huge difference so far...

Code:

[root@ags015 srcds_l]# ps aux | grep irq
root		 3  0.0  0.0	 0	0 ?		SN   00:17   0:00 [ksoftirqd/0]
root		 6  0.0  0.0	 0	0 ?		SN   00:17   0:00 [ksoftirqd/1]
root	  2788  0.0  0.0  2628  300 ?		Ss   00:17   0:00 irqbalance
root	 25525  0.0  0.0 51184  704 pts/3	S+   01:11   0:00 grep irq
[root@ags015 srcds_l]# kill 2788

IRQ was was fucking with the server process priority which was causing the lag. Death to irqbalance! (it's purely experimental so far)

Cam is the greatest.

If it helps even the slightest, it would be great. Plus I agree with john. You are the greatest, as far as i've known ya

I'll tutor you.

another thing bout lag is that it lags for 15 + secs for me when new rounds starts so when i finally buy a m4 i die and turn zom

Cam does not tutor for free of course. Its a thousand dollars an hour....

Dont worry, i have a pretty decent pc and i lag on almost any ZombieMod map.

my computer is alright too and i get a bit laggy sometimes

Ubuntu is free. Cam's time is not. :ermm:
