Playing on my own server?
#1
k, i just got my server up with some help from Skeletor, thx! Wink
The next problem is tho, that if i play on the server with this computer(the one i'm hosting the server on) the ping is fine, but it kinda lag's(it's wierd, becouse of the ping is neat). For example: if i run some steps forward i get to the place i started walking. Kinda like lag, even tho the ping is low :S
So well, i'm kinda confused. And with my newbie skills i don't know how to fix it. So any help would be appreciated! thx

You can if you have a robust enough pc. I play on the same box I host a server and mine runs fine. Mine did that also but I changed the priority of srcds.exe under windows task manager (ctrl-alt-delete) to high and that fixed it. Try it and post back your results.

It worked! thx alot, even tho the ping goes a a little high it fixed the problem. I don't know why tho, my specs are: Amd athlon 64 3700+,Hiper HPU-4B580 power suply,Corsair TWINX2048-3500LLPRO DDR 2048MB RAM,Hitachi Deskstar T7K250 250 GB S-ATA,DFI LANPARTY UT nF4 SLI-D motherboard.

I got one suggestion tho, maybe trying this guide here: http://cpnclan.home.comcast.net/guide.html (tweaking xp) that is.

hey a weak psu will kill the performance of a computer, lol.. but yea. my guess is your computer is rittled with spyware, and ad ware robbing system resources making it so you can not host a server and play at the same time without raising the priority of the server.

it is always the best choice to run the server on another computer though Big Grin

Dam, you are a crap mod if you say that.

Of course you can play the Game on the same machine as you have running your server on, I do it fine with an AMD Athlon 2400+ (2.0GHz), 1GB Kingston RAM, ATI Sapphire Radeon 9250, 1MB Connection, 500w PSU perfectly fine with 19 other players with no lag whatsoever even with 66/100 TickRate.

And a good branded Power Supply can decide if your Computer is dead or alive, a crap PSU can fry your PC if it's not powerful enough or not have the right amount of volts and rails.

@Josh: keep on dreaming :p

But it is possible to run the server on the same computer, don't expect a steady tickrate 100 server for 20 players though.
