Source servers multithreading

[Heartless]

Do source servers support multithreading?

[MIG]

Nope, only ever seen source use 1 thread

[cmer]

is it expected over time? because it would be really interested

Well SRCDS actually use 2 threads, one for network and one for the game logic. But it does not really matter.... Cause all the load is on the game logic any ways.

And I do not think any one knows, if SCRDS will ever support multiple cores.

We have had some issues recently with Orangebox game servers taking up multiple cores etc...

And I do believe there is some sort of multi-threading with TF2 game servers... It surfaced in the mailing list a while ago.

I had a Counter-Strike: Source server which made 4 threads, though the load was only affecting the "main" thread.

We had similar accounts with the latest TF2 servers.

Well that sucks ...

Imagine recoding all the hundreds of huge addons SRCDS has to support race condition. This would mean a death to customized SRCDS servers
