Is it a SMP kernel? If not install one in order to activate multi core support.
Maybe you should use different cores for each instance
taskset -c 1 -p <process ID first server>
taskset -c 2 -p <process ID second server>

[zhelev81]

they using both cores,i don't think this metod will do better

did u look at my net settings ,are they ok ?

[helio]

sv_maxcmdrate try that at 66

[Arjen]

Maybe you want to use:

sv_unlag 1 // Enables player lag compensation
sv_maxunlag 0.750 // Maximum lag compensation in seconds

Asuming the servers are tick 100, try tick 66 because you still use a lot of slots.
Still people can get lag ...

[zhelev81]

my tick is 33

not 100 not 66

[Arjen]

You just have to try the things suggested:
Just test with 1 server running and go from there. Lower maxplayers, try diffent ticks.
Give the server process more priority:

nice -20 <processname>

[zhelev81]

I used:

sv_unlag 1 // Enables player lag compensation
sv_maxunlag 0.750 // Maximum lag compensation in seconds


but 66 & 100 are making the server lagg more than 33

is there any other settings that i can make the servers running better ?

btw why don't u try enter and see if you like how is moving and see if there is anything we can do to make it better ?

tnx for the help

[helio]

this might be extreme but can always try a fresh install of the server, it usually helps when nothing else does
