Server rentals :: NFOservers.com

NFOServers is a host who has a good reputation as a gameserver provider. While it may not exactly be the cheapest, I certainly think they offer great service. Their main market is game servers, but they also offer VPS and dedicated servers, although these are also mostly used for gaming purposes. I ...

In the Task Manager, does setting priority (Realtime, High, Normal, Low, etc.)for processes help at all? If so, how?

I didn't run any type of firewall on the server or do any tweaks with it besides installing games. I wouldn't have been able to do it anyway because of my limited knowledge with linux. It didn't print any errors either. I'm still not sure what caused it but I eventually reinstalled since I switched ...

Just an update. I finally switched to Windows 2003 and it shows much much better output now - plus, it was easier setting it up as well.

I'll try that for myself, however, when I visit other servers, it seems to be working perfectly fine and other friends of mine report this on my server.

I'm having problems with steam in my server. I noticed that I'm not able to retrieve the player list in 'Current Game' and it doesn't register them for 'Previous Games'. Also, when I'm in-game, it doesn't show any steam icons beside the players when looking through the scoreboard in TAB (for 1024x76...

How do I limit FPS? I thought fps_max was only for srcds. Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but for HLDS, doesn't sys_ticrate pretty much control your fps?

I'm running sys_ticrate at 550 atm.

Thanks.

I'm running one 24 slot public server which is fairly popular and another 11 slot private server. Both are 1.6. When the 24 slot is full, I use between 40-60 CPU so I think that agrees with your stats.

I'd recommend TCAdmin for your Windows control panel. I've used it before and I've had a great experience using it with ease. Unfortunately, I can't say much about the other ones since I haven't tried them.

I think it might be the CPU but I'm not totally sure. I have another server which is pretty much identical to my current server and it's not experiencing much, if any problems. Anyway, I lowered the ticrate to get around 500fps, it definitely improved and I'm not having any problems when there's onl...

I am running a single core VPS.

Thanks, I'll try setting the FPS lower and see how that works out for me. I might consider running windows as well since what was mentioned above about 1.6 servers running using fewer resources on Windows is a new and interesting fact for me.

Server FPS dips Server FPS dips are caused by high server load, either because of the same server becoming bogged down (with work from plugins or in the normal course of its operation), or because the machine in general is overloaded. These dips can lead to choke, or, in more extreme cases, to skip...

Oh, I set it up last night before the maintenance and I was just able to check it tonight, that might've been the cause but I'm just making sure.

Extremely sorry for the triple post

Ah, can't edit my post but I wanted to know why a screen might die? I tried this but I was able to run it but after a while, it showed the screen as being dead:

Wonderful. Thanks!
