Hi,
Im hosting two servers with 12 and 18 slots. I have these specs:
3,0ghz
1gb ram
windows home
10/10mbit connection
---
I use about:
0-10% CPU
300MB RAM
with about 5 persons gaming
1. I want to have a tickrate at 100, but it's not getting over 33-34 when I play. (I am also using some kind of fpsbooster-exe-file) I have -tickrate 100 in my launch-thingy, maxupdaterate 120, maxrate 30000, and maxcmrate 120.
2. When people are playing on my server they have moderate pings, atleast I think so. That's about 20-50 and sometimes a person has over 100 - but not very often. Anyway, sometimes there is some kind of "lag" that kind of takes everyone back like a second. I have monitored this with net_graph and it says loss: 30 whenever this happens (I think it happens at the same time for everyone on the server). - note: choke is still at 0!
3. Two servers. I used a guide for this - creating one server1.cfg & one server2.cfg, one mapcycleserver1.cfg & one mapcycleserver2.cfg, and so on. The problem is only the map cycle thing. - it seems to use the old one - mapcycle.txt. (which Ive kept)
I know its a lot, but it would really help me out. Also, If you'd like, you can contact me on steam: fredie89_dk
Thanks in advance.
Also, how many slots do you think I can host at tickrate 100 with these specs? 40?

did you set cl_cmdrate 100 and cl_updaterate 100 in your client?

Please do not PM me for server related help

I've now managed to get the tickrate up to 100 by simply restarting (apperently the fps booster needed that).
I still have the mapcycle problem, and the random "lag spikes". Does anyone know how to solve that?

loss means a connection problem, mostly not within your power to fix.
Try doing a traceroute to a website and see if you get loss doing that.
on the mapcycle:
do you have "mapcyclefile mapcycleserver1.txt" in server1.cfg
and mapcyclefile mapcycleserver2.txt" in server2.cfg?

OK, thanks for the mapcycle thing I will try that out tomorrow...
I just had 15 players on my servers and they were complaining about lag. I joined and now it wasnt just loss this time - also chokes! All pings were between 5-80. My CPU use were around 2-10% and RAM about 3xxMB. What could this be? Its not like its lagging all the time... just sometimes it comes (all on the server at the same time)..
How do I do a "traceroute"?

choke doesn't cause lag, it's just an indication what's happening. If the tickrate drops below like 20 the server will lag.
Try making a screenshot or post everything from the net_graph here.
a traceroute can be done in the windows command prompt or you can use a program like VisualRoute.

Nothing wrong with that as far as I can see, can you post a screenshot of the net_graph 3 when you are playing?

What model of the processor do you have? Celeron? Pentium? Athlon?

I have pentium! I will post a screenshot very soon. I am afraid its the network though.. Could it be a burned out router or something like that?
