Unkown tick drops on a 100 tick 18 slot

[OwnagePranks]

I purchased a dedicated dual xeon with 2 GB of ram. I have 4 server running on the box..

I have a 19 slot server, 1 slot being used 24/7 by HLTV

its a deathmatch, and when its semi full, like 15 ppl, it will drop the tick to between 70-75, and just hover there.

the reg remains great, but it just looks bad, and the choke is at an almost constant 0...


why is this happening??!!
I have zblock, mani, and sourcemod.

why are these tick drops happening? I thought if a 100 tick server dropped down to 80, choke would be about 20, but its 0, with no lag spikes..


any ideas?!?!

What cmds can i add to the server to optimize performance?

here is my current server.cfg

Is it possibly the min and max rate?!?

please help me ASAP!!! the server is usually AMAZING, but ppl are beginning to complain about this.

[OwnagePranks]

could it possibly be HLTV and the 1 "extra" slot?

IP is 8.9.11.214 if you want to see what I am talking about firsthand, (if there are 14+ people in it)

Once again I've joined your server and haven't seen any of the described above except for small drops to 85tick, that's either because of deathmatch or because the FPS is too high on your server. I doubt you run 2000 fps, I think that's bollocks on windows, 1000 fps maybe.... but you should run 512, that will incease performance alot!

[OwnagePranks]

Haha, Droc, it is 500 FPS, one of my admins put 2000, i never cared to change it though..

Any other ideas? when full it drops to a constant 72 or something.

I think it's the deahmatch mod, cause it seems to drop a small bit everytime someone respawns, maybe you should check that out.

[OwnagePranks]

Hrm. well I think i made it better, i was browsing the forum and saw a post about how you should the fpsboost.exe running on each core, so I made the exe run 4 times as a service, each on a different core, and it seems that the tick drops are less.. i think it was your post..

thanks a lot for the feedback though!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No problem, anytime
