Dedicated Reg Issue - Help
#1
Question 
Can someone help me out with my dedicated box on why its not getting good reg when you play. Most of the people who come and play on my CS:S or CS servers always say their is no reg in the server.

What are some of the things I can do to improve my performance?

system spec:
windows 2003
single quad core xeon
6gb ram
2x 320 sata II hdd raid 1


Below is one of my test servers and you can try to see if it does the same for you.

Check if the tickrate is actually what you set it to, also make sure the FPS is STABLE (Which seems to be most important of all)

Have you tried other servers apart from deathmatch?

I find our deathmatch doesn't have good reg compared to our standard gameplay servers.

Deathmatch is a heavy plugin, so you can kind of see why.

This no reg complaint seems to be on our cs and cs:s servers. We got priv and pub servers that some people are saying no reg. Is there any tweaks that any one can recommend for the windows side to help with my performance on the server box.

Also, I was thinking of building a another box. What are your options on spec?

cpu
ram
hdd

I have already did those commands. Would there be anything else that could cause this no reg?

Check the fps.
set the Fps to 500.
Command here:fps_max 600

For great reg I wouldnt recommend mani / deathmatch / rpg any mods of them kind; I have had previous'ly bad experiences with them and so has a few friends. They are known to make your server reg-less basically.

Just a quick question, is any of the server's running bots?

As stated above, I having this issue on all my server on my windows box. It does not matter what i got running on it. It could be a reg 11 slot priv server or a 11 slot pub server with no mods. I still get that no reg shot or other people complaining about it.

Yes, i have that set in my server.cfg and command line.

again, this is what i'm getting out from my console.

I found this in an old post, would this help me to determine on my issue or this will do something else and will it still work with the current updates from val?

Code:
//BOOSTER CONFIG FILE


// booster_show_connmsg x (0 = disabled, 1 = small message, 2 = large message)
//    Shows a console message to players with booster information when they connect.
booster_show_connmsg 1

// booster_autofps x (x = 0 to 1000, 0 = no target FPS)
//      Automatically changes value of sys_ticrate to achieve and maintain the desired server FPS (if possible).
//    It is not recommended to target FPS greater than 200 or so.
//    Note that autofps adjusts sys_ticrate, which makes it incompatible with any booster_lite_mode other
//    than 3. Setting booster_autofps will force booster_lite_mode to 3.
booster_autofps 0

// booster_minsleepms x (x = 1 to 10, 10 = no change to multimedia timer)
//      This adjusts the multimedia system timer to trick HLDS into sleeping for less time. Note that
//    the lower the value set, the higher the CPU consumption will be for HLDS. Values lower than 3
//    are not recommended, as they can cause massive CPU consumption and/or system instability.
booster_minsleepms 3

// booster_force_systicrate x (x = 0 to 10000, 0 = let Booster2 manage the value itself (no force))
//    Booster2 will force this sys_ticrate value. Note that using this option will set booster_autofps to 0
//    and booster_lite_mode to 3, as these methods rely on a sys_ticrate value untouched by user settings.
//    You should avoid directly setting sys_ticrate in your server.cfg, as manually adjusted values can
//    cause problems with various parts of Booster2.
booster_force_systicrate 0

// booster_cpu_enabled x [0 to 2] (0 = off, 1 = on, 2 = report CPU only - don't actively manage CPU)
//    Booster2 can monitor CPU usage and adjust the multimedia timer to reduce load when necessary
booster_cpu_enabled 1

// booster_cpu_spikemax x
//      If CPU management is enabled, number of times booster_cpu_spikelevel needs
//    to be exceeded in order for mmtimer to increase and CPU load to be reduced.      
booster_cpu_spikemax 3

// booster_cpu_spikelevel x [0 to 100]
//    If CPU management is enabled, level which CPU utilization needs to exceed
//      (booster_cpu_spikemax times) for mmtimer to increase and CPU load to be reduced.
booster_cpu_spikelevel 75

// booster_cpu_floor x [0 to 100]
//    If CPU management is enabled, level which CPU utilization needs to stay under
//      (for booster_cpu_quiettime seconds) for mmtimer to decrease and FPS to increase.
booster_cpu_floor 20

// booster_cpu_mminc x [1 to 10]
//    If CPU management is enabled, amount mmtimer will increment (Booster2 will also decrease
//      the mmtimer by 1 for every 5 minute period that booster_cpu_spikelevel is not exceeded.
booster_cpu_mminc 2

// booster_cpu_quiettime
//    Seconds required without CPU spike exceeding booster_cpu_floor before
//    mmtimer value is decreased by 1.
booster_cpu_quiettime 60

// booster_cpu_mmmin x [1 to 10]
//    If CPU management is enabled, Booster2 will never set the mmtimer below this value.
booster_cpu_mmmin 2

// booster_cpu_mmmax x [1 to 10]
//    If CPU management is enabled, Booster2 will never set the mmtimer above this value.
booster_cpu_mmmax 8

// booster_lite_mode x [0 to 3]
//    Controls how the Booster-Lite approach is implemented:
//    0 - HLDS sleeps 10ms if no network packets are received. If HLDS
//        receives a packet, it stops sleeping. (this mode has been added
//        to provide backward compatibility with how BL v1.00 worked).
//    1 - HLDS attempts to sleep 10ms. If a packet is received,
//        HLDS stops sleeping. Otherwise it attempts to sleep another 10ms.
//    2 - HLDS attempts to sleep 50ms. If a packet is received, it stops sleeping.
//    3 - HLDS will sleep the standard amount (this value turns this feature off).
booster_lite_mode 0
    
// booster_lite_extra_sleep_frequency x
//    Forces HLDS server to sleep x milliseconds even if a packet is received.
//    This setting helps to lower CPU usage.
booster_lite_extra_sleep_frequency 0

//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// booster_stats_cpu_counter
// Sets the string Booster will use to query cpu performance. By default this is
// "\Processor(_Total)\% Processor Time". Manually set this only if you need to
// support non-english counter names or to query a specific processor.
// This cvar is only used if booster_cpu_enabled is turned on.

// booster_stats_in_counter
// Sets the string Booster will use to query bandwidth in. By default this is
// "\Network Interface(NDIS 5.0 driver)\Bytes Received/sec". Manually set this only
// if you need to support non-english counter names or to query a specific interface.
// This cvar is only used if booster_stats is turned on.

// booster_stats_out_counter
// Sets the string Booster will use to query bandwidth out. By default this is
// "\Network Interface(NDIS 5.0 driver)\Bytes Sent/sec". Manually set this only
// if you need to support non-english counter names or to query a specific interface.
// This cvar is only used if booster_stats is turned on.

// booster_stats [0-1]
// This turns on statistics gathering. This options is not supported. See info at the end
// of the readme regarding this option.

// booster_trigger_cmd
// Sets a command to be executed the first time (during any given map) that CPU consumption
// trips booster_cpu_spikemax. This allows admins to do things such as turn off wallhack
// blocks or other CPU intensive systems under heavy load.

// booster_intping
// This is a read-only value, and holds the current average player ping.

// booster_extping
// This is a read-only value, and holds the current ping to the address set in booster_pingaddr.

// booster_pingaddr
// Sets the address (in IP format x.x.x.x) that Booster will ping once a minute. If no value is
// set, Booster won't ping anything. Pinging an external address is useful in helping determine
// latency issues. If clients are showing high ping, pings to a nearby router can help determine
// if the problem is close to the server or part of something that is beyond the administrator's
// control.
