Dismal FPS.....

[propaganda]

Even though I am running fps max 600 my server fps isn't very good, even with just myself on it, I am on FC10 64 bit...

Code:

Would a kernel recompile make this a bit better?

looks more like a setup issue to me.

How are you putting your fps_max in?. Please post your command line and server.cfg please.

sv_maxupdaterate 101

sv_mincmdrate 35

change all those to 101.

And then post this here:

DO NOT SET MINUPDATERATE/CMDRATE TO 101 IT WILL KILL YOUR USERS.... set it to a reasonable amount like 30, or keep it the way you have right now. RATES do NOT affect SERVER FPS, there is no need to change them. Post your server specs, and what map it was on. And try using fpsmeter

How weird, it doesn't kill my users.

I never said it effected server FPS either. But on the other hand, if for some weird reason it fixes the issue then it is worth it.

I already told him to post his server specs if you read up ^.^.

Can you please expand on 101 killing users?. Because it is fine on my server.

[BehaartesEtwas]

minupdate/cmdrate of 101 won't actually kill your users, but you will have more users with ping/choke/loss problems. those problems are usually much more severe then letting them play with a update/cmdrate of 50 (which cuts the required bandwidth half).

regarding the original problem: stock kernels of many linux distributions don't allow high fps. you might need to recompile the kernel, see a howto in my signature.

[Darksoul]

So, rather then saying that he just spreads false information about it killing your clients. Thank you for clarifying that for me behaart .

If I am playing on a 100tick server, I would much rather have everyone play at 100tick. Not 50tick.

i have plenty of bandwidth and a unmetered connection (As far as I know at least, I never read anything about bandwidth caps on verizon fios - unlike comcast(comshit)).

I have a lot of people telling me about how my server has the best hit rate registration they have ever seen, and I have people with pings ranging from 5-70. The five ping person shocked me, seeing as he still is a few hundred miles away from me. (And it was his real ping)

Bottom line is, I would rather have a few clients with problems and the rest having a good experience then people having no issues, but a worse experience.

I'm going to go read your kernel guide now, because I'm hitting around 400FPS when I should be hitting 500-600FPS.

Check for cpu frequency scaling (cpufreq in the process list), automatic power management options in the bios, priorities of the servers etc.

Following the fragaholics wiki guide in BehaartesEtwas' sig would be a good start even if you don't compile with the RT patch.

well it's an illusion to beleive mincmd/updaterate of 101 will result in all players actually having cmd/update rates of 100. especially the cmdrate depends on the clients fps, virtually no client has still > 100 fps in battle, so the cmd rate will also be less.

and keep in mind that not *your* bandwith is the limit but the clients one. I know plenty of players who even have problems with 50/50 rates, because their DLS connection is so bad. they wont be able to play on your server (and probably look for another server to play on). that's what pengy meant with "killing your clients".

Ok did full recompile of the kernal based on Behaart guide, still getting poor fps :|

I followed the directions to the letter, but when I type "uname -r" it returns:

Code:

2.6.26.8-rt16", not the expected string

try running rcon stats ingame, sometimes the console one reports something like that

[propaganda]

Those are ingame pengy. I joined server, rcon in and ran stats

[pengy]

wow... all i gotta say is wow...
you have to type in "rcon stats" not just stats... stats shows your ingame fps...
