Running 2 srcds games on 1 ip

[AciDPuke]

Is there a performance hit or anything neg by running 2 srcds games on 1 ip with ports 27015,27016 with a single core vds?

I am curious if gameplay or performance is effected in the server.

We have plenty of renters who run multiple servers on their single-core VDSes and most of the time there is not problem with it. If you are planning to run very large or CPU-intensive servers, though, you'll have to monitor them and potentially tweak things (such as by lowering the FPS rates, etc).

Thanks for the info, I would like to add I am really impressed with performace so far with just a single core vds with win2k3. I really hope you guys setup Los Angeles.

I'm glad to hear that. We plan to eventually expand VDS offerings to every location .

Another question should srcds games be set at abovenormal or high.

I noticed here you recommend it set at high.

With your experience just run scrds at high?

Windows handles priorities by servicing everything at a higher (numeric, calculated) priority first. That is, if two processes are ready to run, and one has a higher priority, Windows will choose the higher priority one. If you don't have other processes running at these priority levels, then "abovenormal" and "high" will behave the same.

I don't recommend using lower normal or below, or using realtime. The former is because this is what regular Windows tasks run at, and the latter is because this is what some critical system processes (that you really do want preferred) run at.

Thanks for the info.
