Server Freeze when people Join.

[degen223]

Hey guys so this is a problem that in my view in unacceptable. I am running the following.

Intel Core 2 9505 Quad 2.82ghz
8 Gigs DDR2 800
2x 500gig Sata II (no raid)
100 mbps connection
Windows 2008 Server R2

Now i use TCAdmin and everything so far is setup like normal. All priorities are notmal but the problem i am having is say im on the surf server. 3 people in the server and 3 people will all join at once and the server will freeze for 1 second and u feel like u just got lagged back about a second. Now i have tested the connect on the server and getting good speed plus no packet loss.

My current bandwidth settings for the CSS servers are. I am only running 1 test server 20 slots. 100 Tick.

// bandwidth rates/settings
sv_minrate 7500
sv_maxrate 30000
decalfrequency 10
sv_maxupdaterate 100
sv_minupdaterate 10

Ok so if anyone could shed some insight into this that would be great.

Thanks

Only thing missing is the rcon password and host name.

Have you tried to look at the CPU-load when people are joining?

[hankinator]

Make sure the server is installed right. There might be a missing file or two. Try running the updater with the verify command.

[degen223]

checked both of ur ideas and turned up nothing. CPU remains at 1% with the test server and yeah verification was good. I am lost

This seems very strange... But shouldn't really worry me because its Windows . Which plugins do you have installed?

[Spartanfrog]

Could be a network issue. I guess you are hosting in a data center?
