2. You could run the server on our Gentoo Linux install, using the kernel we provide. (The CentOS install's kernel won't work as well.) To achieve a stable 950 to 1000fps, start your HL1 server with a command line that looks like this:
Code: Select all
chrt -r 20 ./hlds_run -game xxxxx +ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx +maxplayers xx -pingboost 2
Code: Select all
chrt -r 20 ./srcds_run -game xxxxx -ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx +maxplayers xx
Whichever method you use, make sure to check the FPS remotely with "rcon stats", rather than typing it directly into the server's console. Typed directly there, "stats" gives erroneous output.
Additionally, make sure that your "server.cfg" file specifies:
- A sys_ticrate of 0 (unlimited) or 2000+, for HL1-based games
- A fps_max of 0 (unlimited) or or 2000+, if you're running a Source or Orangebox-based game
