Dev textures/ texture maps causing choke and tick drop!

Other: 500 fps and 100 tick server.


Hi I own a large popular aim_ag_texture_city server (counter-strike source) and since we got it, we always have had this one problem. I finally figured out what was causing it and now I want to know if there is a way to fix it.

Basically when my server gets full 8/16 or more the tick drops, on the texture_city and we get choke.

I filled my server to 16/16 and it still happened. By accident I switched the map to de_dust 2, the 16/16 people still stayed and played. I then noticed the tickrate stayed stable at 101. Never dropping and 0 choke. Either aim_ag_texture_city is causing this or maybe dev_textures (texture used on map) is causing the tick to go up and down and choke.

Note: The map is 24/7 we don't wanna change it.
I have been on multiple servers and they experience the same problem. This isn't just me either. Everyone else see's it and our rates are fine.

So if anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated. I want the tick stable for optimal performance, this box is rented.

Hi,

Please post your full server.cfg in ["QUOTE][/"QUOTE] (Without the ") tags and also try setting the SRCDS affinity to one core and the priority to above normal rather then just normal and see if that helps.

I have tried the affinity thing and it didn't solve the problem and here is my cfg. Not sure that it is this because all de maps have stable tick and no choke. Also keep in mind that all other servers I go to have same problem with texture, and that other people are having this issue to, so it isnt client side.

Code:

// server name

It does not matter if I change those rates to maximum or even cevo rates. The same problem still is there.

We had a similar problem with a past client but it had to do with sound files. Everything was good till the sound file got executed and the choke and rates dropped. It just required a reinstall of the files to fix. Try a fresh copy of the map or files your talking about.

Not sure that will fix and I am sure you tired, but figured to offer that.

Simple reinstall or update of files.

How bad is the change in tickrate from 100 and the amount of choke?

What's your (home) connection? And set sv_maxrate to 30000.
