Stable FPS?

[Dub]

so is there any way to get FPS more stable? mine goes up n down too much.. :/ one sec i got 600 then i got 90 the next :/

I don't think there is. because mine behaves the same way. I think when you run fps_max 500 or w/e you aren't locking the fps at 500 you are just allowing it to go that high. So it will flex a lot, I don't know thats just how I see it.

Lock your player slots at +/- 10 players =)

what do you mean lock them at +/- ? my server is 12 slots

[Hollanda]

With 12 slots you should be able to keep a very nice stable 500 (server) fps, if you have the right hardware + network connection.

Also don't use any (admin) mods.

ok these are my specs..

Athlon 4800+ X2 2.4Ghz
2Gig Ram
Upload : 3000 kbps

Rates are these: Its a 100 tick server w/ fps_max 1500

sv_minrate 10500
sv_maxrate 30000
sv_maxupdaterate 101
sv_minupdaterate 66
sv_unlag 1

any suggestions as to what might fine tune the server?
i AM currently runnin mani tho. is there a significant difference in how smooth the server runs with admin mods or is it not worth NOT havin mani?

[Drocona]

there is indeed a big difference if you run mods or a clean server.
You can really notice it, I prefer modless servers because they run very smooth.

You play at the same computer as you host the game? Make sure srcds.exe is on core 1 and hl2.exe on core 0.

Also 3 mbit upload sounds strange, you don't mean 30 kb/s upload?

Quote:sv_maxrate 25000
sv_maxupdaterate 120
fps_max 600 (can't get any higher under windows, so higher is useless).

[Dub]

no i dont mean 30 kb/s  lol i wuld be able to run a 1 man server on that... i mean 3000kbps or roughly 450KB..also.. the srcds.exe in on core 0 and 1...should i leave it on both cores or put it just on 1?

btw i put in fps_max 1500 and im gettin higher fps tho.. it goes up to 800 and such.. idk..works for me...
