Hoping for some help with my servers lag?
#1
Ok. So heres the jist of it. We are running our server(s) on a Dell Poweredge 1600sc with 3GB DDR Ram, two 2.4GHZ Xeon Processors. Windows Server Edition 2003. And we have 1823kbps upload bandwidth...I have read MANY guides on setting server rates and what not. I dont even know if that is the problem, but nothing seems to work. I can even run a 24 man server without major lag and lag spikes. Can someone please help me...all help will be EXTREMELY aprecciated. Sorry for not posting on Windows General, I was getting a MySQL error.

Thank You,
Optics

What's the CPU usage? What's the server FPS?

You're probably hitting the max on the connection too with 24 slots.

The fps is at 85 to 90. And cpu usage was 98,440k

I mean CPU usage in %, I dunno what 98,440k means lol, looks more like memory to me but..

how about your bandwidth? Cause I think that's the main problem here.

According to all the charts ive seen with my bandwith at 1600kbps I can run a 40 man server no problem? And it hardly takes up any of my cpu %



I think its my rates....

1024kbps is for 14-16 players 33 tick, so 1823 (probably from a speedtesting site? I think you have 2048 in that case) will run around 26-28 players (in one server, spreading them over multiple servers will decrease bandwidth usage).

rates for a 28 player server would be something like this:

sv_maxrate 10000
sv_minrate 5000
sv_maxupdaterate 100
sv_minupdaterate 20

How did I get to these numbers? please read my Guide at PHL: http://planethalflife.gamespy.com/View.php?view=HL2Guides.Detail&id=4&game=3
It has everything you need to know about the SRCDS.
(I used 2048kbps in the maxrate formula and add a little for choke compensation)

Hmmm Is there ANYTHING else that could be causing the lag. Because with our system specs we should be able to run a server fine with no lag?

The system specs don't matter, it's the connection thats causing problems here. Your specs are fine but for running what you want, you'd need at least 5mbit upload, even better to get 10mbit.
