Lag Issues

Post by NiTro1 »

Hello, i have a VDS where i run a Left 4 dead 2 Coop server, OS : Debian 10.

After the last update of the game, when 12 survivors or more walking at same time in Water, the server starts to lag so bad.
Of course to make sure its not caused by a plugin or some custom stuff, i removed everything and tested with just sourcemod, l4dtoolz and bots only.
i have updated the OS, reboot the VDS too, remove the water from maps, install a fresh server, but still the same issue.

It could be a bug in the game. If so, it would be worth letting Valve know. Is the server FPS dipping when this happens (and CPU usage jumping)?

Actually Valve does not care about modded servers and does not care about issues reports anyway.

Anyway it turns out the problem was the VDS, and probably the CPU cant handle a left 4 dead 2 server with more than 12 players. the CPU Usage passes 105% and i only run the game server in the machine.

If it just started with the last update, and you didn't have the problem before, it would be more about their software ;).
