Hi all,
First, the stats on my server:
Athlon XP 2500+
768 MB DDR 333
120 GB HDD
Running Fedora Core 3
26-player Counter-Strike Source dedicated server.
I am on a university connection, my speeds are as follows:
Bandwidth results from toast.net free bandwidth test:
Download: 4072 Kb
Upload: 2,118 kbps
Based on the rate optimization thread on the steampowered.com forums, I set my rates to the following:
- sv_maxupdaterate 26
- sv_minupdaterate 0
- sv_maxrate 6730
- sv_minrate 0
- sv_maxspeed 320
Unfortunately, I still have major lag problems on my server. Also, when the server is full, some of the players report choke values ranging from 20 to 60. I'm not fully sure what a high choke value indicates, but my guess is that it isn't good.
Another problem I am having (possibly related?) is that when I view my server as console, I see this 'garbage' that is scrolling through the console QUITE often:
I have tried googling this problem, and all I can seem to find is that if sv_allowupload is set to 0, the problem will go away. However, I have it set to 0 and still get this scrolling in my console window.
Any help on optimizing my server to get it running lag-free would be greatly appreciated.
