dods beta?

[dualcore1289]

hello, whats so different about the dods beta? and does it aquire more resources, like bandwidth, and cpu? Also, what would my command line look like?

[blik]

for installing with hldsupdatetool the game switch: -game dodsbeta
for running with srcds: -game dodsbeta

Game is quite different, runs on orangebox engine, has achievements, domination/nemesis, adjusted the COF - you really need to play it, and read the Valve changelogs.

[dualcore1289]

is it more resource hungry?

[Spartanfrog]

100% yes. It uses the orangebox engine.

[dualcore1289]

roughly how much more would you say it uses?

[Drocona]

roughly, double.

[dualcore1289]

ok, thanks

[blik]

I wouldn't say double, exactly. In terms of RAM usage, it uses a LOT more bandwidth, and the memory leak evident in TF2 is in dodsbeta, so expect 500MB+ ram usage on a busy server over a long period without restarting.

CPU wise, it uses a bit more, maybe 10-20% or so.

[Spartanfrog]

How often do you restart your servers to get rid of the memory leak? Once a day good enough?

[blik]

Our dedi's have 4GB RAM - so we can wait a while. On average we restart every 5 days or so, by which time rotation server is using 1.2GB+

[Spartanfrog]

Ouch 1.2GB+? Man that sucks.

[Hazz]

Surely that will be improved with future updates?

Oh wait...Valve

hello, i have my dodsbeta server running, and when me and my friends play on it for about 5 mins, and it crashes the server. i reinstalled, and changed configs, and it still crashes. any help?

[Mooga]

In recent times, I've had little issues running a DODsbeta server.
Are you using any plugins?

[dualcore1289]

nope.
