srcds.exe taking alot of cpu(???)

[gamemann]

hi everyone i got the following problems:
1. my server crashes randomly, the srcds windows is still up but nothing is moving..
2. my srcds.exe is taking 50-100 % cpu now... was 10-20 % last time
only 13 players and its taking up all that cpu...
THis may be causing lag people are complaining about too...

upload speed: 3.60-4.60 mbps
processor: intel core 2 duo E4500 @ 2.20 ghz
ram: 1 gb
command line:
[code]
C:\cssserver\server\orangebox\srcds.exe -console -game cstrike -hostport 27015 +maxplayers 25 +map surf_10x_reloaded +fps_max 66.67

please help
thanks,
gamemann

Are you running any sort of mods that are trying to write to a local SQL file or something? It's generally mods that cause issues so I'd always suggest taking a look at those and seeing what could be the issue.

i did get this gaming panel thing so let me try disabling that hold on...

k new problem...
I think i fixed the cpu problem... but now my server just goes offline... The black window is up(the srcds.exe window) but it is like frozen... Just like stops with the previous events... Could this be my router loosing connection to comcast or something?

I had this issue at one point. For me, it was hlstatsx trying to get/upload statistics, and I had the rcon set wrong on my hlstatsx admin page. If you don't have hlstatsx, it could be something similar.

i did get a game panel that seemed to be taking up alot of cpu... but i uninstalled it... But i deleted the files, the uninstall didnt work... maybe it could be that... idk...

[gamemann]

it still is at 21 maxplayers...
And btw, i got better connection and i dont see a better fps performace...

Connection has nothing to do with fps. You need an fps booster to up the fps. UNLESS you are running l4d2, which then it is capped at 23 or so fps. And that is a lot of CPU usage for only 5 players. What kind of server/mods is that server?

there was 21 players XD
i run:

Code:

sourcemod
metamod
rpg mod
sdkhooks

And is there a way to make it so the server takes up 2 cores instead of one because that is the problem i think right now...

alright... I got a fps booster and here is the results with 17 players...

its starting to go yellow too

[Mike]

That means your box is overloaded. A lot too. I'll bet that the in-game experience sucks on your servers tbh.

[dualcore1289]

Yes, your cpu is having trouble keeping up, that's why the fps drop is soo bad. Also, you can let windows handle the cpu load of the server(s). People say it will hurt performance, but I have been running source servers for a loong time now, and even with my old gsp, I have still yet to give each server their own core, and I just let windows load balance them. I have no issues what so ever with that. Now people will tell you differently, so that is just my experience and two cents.

isnt that bad, but if i did a defrag with smart defrag and full optimized will it help with it? And how i get rid of the fps drops... People said my processor could handle it -.-

[Mike]

If that was in your other thread, people were saying that they thought it would not handle it. And no, a defrag and a system optimization would not fix it. You need better hardware.

well does srcds take up only one core? And if it does is there a way to make it use 2 cores?
