Serve Lags on Dedicated Server
 

Hi,

first of i am new here and very new to gameservers.
Currently i am running a 6core 12gb, nvme Server with 1000mbit up/down link on Debian 10. It is primarily my mail and Webserver for Private things.

Now for playing CSGO with friends i installed a CSGO server around this script:
https://github.com/crazy-max/csgo-server-launcher

I am starting it with these settings:

"-nohltv +sv_pure 0 +sv_password secure +game_type 0 +game_mode 1 +mapgroup mg_active +map de_dust2"

"-nobreakpad -game csgo -console -usercon -secure -autoupdate -steam_dir ${DIR_STEAMCMD} -steamcmd_script ${STEAM_RUNSCRIPT} -maxplayers_override 10 -tickrate 64 +hostport ${PORT} +net_public_adr ${IP} ${EXTRAPARAMS}"

Other than that i did not really set up anything (because i dont know what...)
So when we use the server for a 5vs5 match, ping is just fine (20-40 for everyone) but there are lags from time to time (every minute or so).
It is clearly visible in netgraph 1 when "var" shoots up to 1s sometimes. The server is basically idle, so i dont really know what the problem could be.

Are there any settings i could use to get these Lags away?

Any Help would be just fantastic!!

Thank you so much in advance!

how fast is your cpu
what plugins are you running

Hi,

i read around a little while and followed this site here:
https://github.com/MikkelDK/GameServerKernel

So i installed the 1000hz kernel, chenged the grub config, and ran that prioritising script on the site (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Mi...ster/script.sh)

If i am honset, the result is much worse then before. sv averages at around 8-10, var is never below 1 but spikes up to 40!

What can that be?

Cheers and Thanks a lot!

Hi,

there are 6 of these:
The only Plugin i am using is Csay (in order to have ebot running)

Interestingly, the lags do not change wether there is noone on the server or 10 people - does that help in any way?
so i do experience the same lags, when i use the server allone... (no bots)

Cheers

...SRCDS is game, it need clocks. Server CPU Xeon is not... made for this. Mine opinion.

Re: Serve Lags on Dedicated Server
 

Hmmm,

can someone confirm that a 6core 2,2ghz Xeon is not enough for a CSGO server?

Thanks a lot,

Cheers!

Re: Serve Lags on Dedicated Server
 

2.2Ghz is not enough to run CS:GO.

CS:GO only uses 1 core on linux (some might be offloaded to a second core but not much) so you need a higher clock speed, something 3Ghz or higher.

Also make sure that the server is not using powersave otherwise your clock speed will go down. You can disable it with this command

Hi,

thanks for the reply! Its kind of strange to read here in the forum that people are running 20 slot 128 tick servers on 2,7ghz machines for very very long times.
I dont even want to have 128 tick. 64 is ok for me. Its just these spikes of var / sv.

So if the CPU is the bottleneck, why is there not even one core at100% when there are 10 people connected? SRCDS is at around 5-10% when 1 is connected, and at around 50% when there are 10 connected.

Can this still be the CPU?
Or ist there anything else i could try to make this work without these problems?

Thanks a lot,

Pcace

Re: Serve Lags on Dedicated Server
 

We don't know, what rates you have set.

Try bigger rates.

sv_minrate "196608"
sv_maxrate 0
sv_mincmdrate 64
sv_minupdaterate 64

my guess is your hard disk
