my server is laggy

[BADASS]

it's when I join and other people join

[Drocona]

Are you running the server on the same PC O_O

[BADASS]

yes it is running on the same machine and I found out my real upload speed is 1673.5 Kbps

[hexitnow]

This was already asked dro, page 3 i think. But when someone runs a server on the same pc as they play on, it creates hella choke doesnt it dro?

[BADASS]

I never had problem before until that last update is when it started.

[Drocona]

Problem with running on the same machine is that the CS:Source client uses 100% CPU since an update (Don't know which one, I noticed playing at my friends pc, he had processor monitoring at his keyboard, it was at 100% all time, he has 3.2Ghz). This will take away any CPU power from the SRCDS pointing it all to the game.

Don't know why they made it like that but it's real bad. First it was possible but now.. You might get better results if you set the SRCDS priority to high.

But I just can't say it enough times, running servers and games on the same workstation just doesn't work. It can but, mostly it doesn't.

Explanation of choke in this occasion:
Your processor doesn't look at the SRCDS, only short times it "pulls" away CPU power from the client running. This results in slow updating, packets get send and recieved in updates. This resulting into packets waiting in line to be processed by the server, which is choke.

Sorry that I missed the same pc question ^_^

forgot put 1 thing about mine cpu in the beganing it has hyper threading. my cpu is meant for this type of stuff, I had it modified.

mine CPU usage doesn't run at 100%. play css and the server on the same machine says 35%-45% CPU. it doesn't go any higher and I did set the priority to high.

I think there's still bugs in the commad prompt version of the server cause I can run 5 servers of any other game and play on them at the same time and those servers don't give problems like this.

Yeh but can you check when you are actually ingame (not alt tabbed)
My processor and my friend's are also HT, they both use 100% when in fullscreen CS:Source

[BADASS]

mine u can check I got a screen that hooks up to my motherboard and it tells me everthing that is going on with my computer and the cpu usage is 1 of them. the cpu usage is onlt between 35%-45%.

[Drocona]

Well only other thing i can think of is not enough memory...

It's either bandwidth, bad rates, CPU or Memory

[BADASS]

I upgrade my memory yesterday to 4 gb of ram and I got unlimited bandwidth and my memory usage is 85% free

[Drocona]

I mean bandwidth in kbps like you stated was 1.5mbps?

are you sure it's not fully used?

It's either of thos I stated in the post before, choke just doesnt come out of nothing, there is a limiting factor somewhere, you just gotta find it.

[BADASS]

I don't what it is really at anymore cause today it is at 3mbps

[Drocona]

ok whats the connection type, cable,xDSL,T1,T3?

[BADASS]

cable
