Ok I got everything there

People in the server occasionally complain about lag/lag spikes, but im not entirely sure how this is possible? I have more than decent specs to run the server...when people to complain about lag spikes their pings are usually over 100 and my cpu isnt even over 25%....does anyone have any suggestions??

it really could be anything.

Try not setting priority to high, just leave it normal.

could be your router hiccuping.

People blame the server for anything and everything, so if you/other regulars dont experience it, i wouldnt think much of it.

Also who is your ISP? Vista might be causing something and maybe having three mods. I remember having three mods and my server lagging like hell :/

I have a similar problem. I am running a Goldeneye:Source server on a 2.2ghz comp running XP Home through SRCDS console and ocasionally everyone on the server will notice a HUGE lag spike. I notice this, too. it lags so much that you can't really move without waiting a while for it to respond. Any ideas why? Also, there are 2 servers running on this comp (both GE:s, one GE_Deathmatch and one GE_LTK) but there are so few people playing the mod that there aren't usually people on both.
