I'm having a problem with a dedicated HL2 DM server I'm running on a Windows XP Pro computer. I have Optimum online which provides 15Mb downstream and 5 up so it should be sufficient to run a DM server well. Mani Admin Pack is also installed on the server.
I am having severe lag spikes where peoples ping reach up to 700 or more. I have realized that this occurs when the console reads "Precache of sprites/redglow1 ambiguous (no extension specified)." I'm not sure how to make redglow1 either not precached, or to add an extension to it so that it properly is.
Any help would be greatly appreciated since this problem has plagued me for a fair amount of time. Thanks.
