out of order packets being dropped. making clients lag
#1
Server:
Dual 2.8GHz Xeon HT (2 physical, 4 virtual)
1GB Ram
Windows 2k3 SP1

The server is hosted in a peer 1 datacenter in New York. I think it's 1TB monthly bandwith. The LAN allows the server to use 100Mbits per second.

I have srcds' that constantly give out-of-order packets out at certain game events. This causes massive "lag" so to speak. The server doesn't lag, just the clients because they're dropping massive amounts of packets and sometimes the version packet is dropped and the clients get kicked because they have a different version.

Examples of when it happens:
- The first RPG round in the map is fired.
- The first grenade in the map is thrown.
- The first crossbow bolt in the map is fired.
- The first type of any NPC in the map is spawned.
- Moving between big vis leafs.
- Initial spawn.
- Random, but rarely that.

This is what is printed to the client console when the lag happens.
I used sv_showdrop 1 and sv_showsplits 1 to make this debug stuff in the console.

Hi there,

I also appear to be suffering this problem!


Default SRCDS install.

Dual Xeon 2.4ghz Dell 2600 server. 400Mhz FSB. 2GB DDR-266 memory. RAID0 Ultra160 RAID. EEPRO1000 network connection.

No idea what is causing this.
