I was going to report on our cs servers at the LAN, but Browne has just about summed it up:
Quote from: Browne;402072For the past 3 or 4 months, we've been seeing an huge influx of new faces on Boomer, thankfully, a renewed interest in CSGO, you could say.
However, there has also been a serious deterioration in the quality of the Boomer server. Memory leaks on client machines, FPS dropping to 10-20, really low reg.
Memory leak: After 10 minutes in game, my FPS drops to 10-15, have to re-start, fine for another 10-15 minutes, drops again. This could happen twice on one map alone. My memory usage shoots from 2.4 (normal for this rig), up to 4.4 each time. I play a fair amount of competitive and, hand on heart, ALL other servers are fine, never any FPS drop. Bear in mind that competitive could be 30 rounds. Also, this has been experienced by several others, Pesteh, Gunda, to name but a few.
Low Reg: I know that CSGO is not renowned for having the greatest reg, but, when you know you've pumped half an MP7 mag into someone's back (my favourite approach) and your console reports 30 dmg in 2 hits, there's something wrong somewhere, especially when you see his blood splashing all over the place after the supposed "hits".
Whilst it would be very easy to say "sod this" and bugger off to another server, I value what we have on Deadmen, friendship, the craic with the regulars, normal whining, I'd miss it. So, any chance of an upgrade fellas? I, for one, and there are others, would be more than willing to financially support a move to an upgraded 128 tick server.
Whatever it takes
Dec.
I don't know whether we can afford to wait till after the LAN to deal with this as we may well start losing regulars before then.
Thread split for clarity. Please repost the one-liner to the GL meeting agenda thread and we'll add it.
Valid question to add to the LAN meeting. However, without wishing to put a downer on things (I am as keen to solve any problems as you are) there might be some issues with Browne's comments:
We're not responsible for Browne's awful undersea connection;
We have no idea what spec his system is and how much of his fps problems are his PC's problem and not ours;
How on earth would a CSGO dedicated server cause a client-side memory leak?
(if someone can educate me and tell me if any of the above is incorrect then I'd be delighted to learn more and solve the problem, but on my current understanding this is what we can and cannot be responsible for)
So having ruled out the stuff we can't be blamed for, that shortens his list of problems to just 'poor bullet reg'.
CSGO server lag does not show up in any way on the server itself, memory & CPU usage are all low during server use.
102.4 could be an option (I presume you have read about this and ruled it out?).
We have a 3.4GHz CPU, I have read that you need 3.5GHz for 128 tick, but that has never been proven.
Are the mods up to date? (what versions are we running and what is the latest? I presume you request an update from Whitey when a new one comes out?).
I'm happy to sit on BA5 one night and just watch the performance monitors and fps whilst you play if it helps rule something in or out.
Well, I know that a fair amount of our players say they suffer from these things on our server only.
no peanuts, pesteh, gunda and a fair few others.
I can vouch for the dodgy reg (sometimes it's not my crap skills), and I've specc'd it many times.
Can we move this to the cs admin part so's my admins can comment?
