Question  07-27-2010, 09:36 AM (This post was last modified: 07-27-2010, 09:37 AM by Avree.)
http://www.fpsmeter.org/p,view;81658.html

I'm using the default rate/config settings. I have another server with the exact same hardware, and I never suffer from any of these drops.

This is on a 8GB RAM server with an Intel Xeon E5404 2GHZ Eight-Core CPU.

It's running Windows Server 2008 R2.

No plugins.

Nothing except for fpsbooster and TCAdmin.

What is your startup command?

Er, sorry, copied the wrong command line. It's fps_max 300, not 550. Everything else is the same. Smile

When you say you have another server with the same hardware do you mean on a separate machine with the same hardware? Or is it running on the same machine?

Separate machine with the same hardware.

None of this is on VPS - all dedicated boxes.

Same operating systems as well?

Also try setting the affinity on the problemed game server to one core.

Might want to check the following:

- Check and make sure the BIOS settings are identical on the working server vs the non working
- Make sure HPET is enabled. Some bios makers still ship it with being off.
- Make sure you are not running any power management stuff in the bios or in windows Smile

Did you ever fix it, if so what did you do? It can help others in the future.
