Hello,
I checked well the main
rules of this section which is to search before posting
gibberish, but I didn't find something that correspond to what I will ask you.
The Problem
For a while ago I was planifying to create my own server, of course buying one is way better and I will in extremely rare cases have problem with it but because of Economic & Card problem, this option couldn't be good for me, so I decided to create my own server that really I like.
The first week I open it, 1 or 2 peoples out of 70 was complaimainting at lag, but I wasn't really paying attention to this since they we're having a great ping. Two weeks ago, this was a big problem, people we're lagging but from a particular way. They weren't lagging all the times, only sometimes ping of players who get a ping of 20 goes up to 195. Imagine the people with a normal 120 ping ! So it was that, for two minutes, people in the server we're lagging than 30 seconds later, they weren't.
What I want to do ? At the end of the topic.
A Solution ?
I searched all around google and the website, than I remember the main server I play was called 9 months ago : Eastern CANADA!
BOOSTED 1000FPS. When I see the famous
BOOSTED 1000FPS I was thinking only do a quick research on google; I tried first HLBooster since I all ready saw something looking like that, what I get is HlBooster 2.4.0, I downloaded it, sure it would change something. If it did ? A bit, the ping of the players reduce of 5 - 10 depending of the leaving places, but at my big surprise, there we're still that
fenomenous lag !
Than I searched,
day & night, to get topics like
this one or
this one. Helped me ? Not really, I don't if the post posted on the links or correct and it's me the problem but It didn't helped me...
Infos
Well I think it's impossible to help me without having other infos don't ? ;)
This is are server infos :
Code:
Actual Name : (JeSuS) CLAN SERVER 1000FPS
Slots : 22
Location : Montréal, Canada
The fallowing ones are about the speed of my Internet, well I don't know how to convecrt in Kpbs since I'm a real "noob" with that, I get this on
www.speedtest.net, I don't got a lot of infos about it, but if you can help me to get other ones, it would be greatful
:
Code:
Download : 2.81 mb/s
Upload : 0.84 mb/s
Those are what I got on my server.cfg; it's kind of long, some last booster options can be skipped :
Code:
// Use this file to configure your DEDICATED server.
// This config file is executed on server start.
// disable autoaim
sv_aim 0
// disable clients' ability to pause the server
pausable 0
// default server name. Change to "Bob's Server", etc.
hostname "Counter-Strike 1.6 Server"
// maximum client movement speed
sv_maxspeed 320
// 20 minute timelimit
mp_timelimit 20
sv_cheats 0
// load ban files
exec listip.cfg
exec banned.cfg
map de_dust
sys_ticrate 10000
// booster_show_connmsg x (0 = disabled, 1 = small message, 2 = large message)
// Shows a console message to players with booster information when they connect.
booster_show_connmsg 1
// booster_autofps x (x = 0 to 1000, 0 = no target FPS)
// Automatically changes value of sys_ticrate to achieve and maintain the desired server FPS (if possible).
// It is not recommended to target FPS greater than 200 or so.
// Note that autofps adjusts sys_ticrate, which makes it incompatible with any booster_lite_mode other
// than 3. Setting booster_autofps will force booster_lite_mode to 3.
booster_autofps 1000
// booster_minsleepms x (x = 1 to 10, 10 = no change to multimedia timer)
// This adjusts the multimedia system timer to trick HLDS into sleeping for less time. Note that
// the lower the value set, the higher the CPU consumption will be for HLDS. Values lower than 3
// are not recommended, as they can cause massive CPU consumption and/or system instability.
booster_minsleepms 5
// booster_force_systicrate x (x = 0 to 10000, 0 = let Booster2 manage the value itself (no force))
// Booster2 will force this sys_ticrate value. Note that using this option will set booster_autofps to 0
// and booster_lite_mode to 3, as these methods rely on a sys_ticrate value untouched by user settings.
// You should avoid directly setting sys_ticrate in your server.cfg, as manually adjusted values can
// cause problems with various parts of Booster2.
booster_force_systicrate 10000
// booster_cpu_enabled x [0 to 2] (0 = off, 1 = on, 2 = report CPU only - don't actively manage CPU)
// Booster2 can monitor CPU usage and adjust the multimedia timer to reduce load when necessary
booster_cpu_enabled 0
// booster_cpu_spikemax x
// If CPU management is enabled, number of times booster_cpu_spikelevel needs
// to be exceeded in order for mmtimer to increase and CPU load to be reduced.
booster_cpu_spikemax 3
// booster_cpu_spikelevel x [0 to 100]
// If CPU management is enabled, level which CPU utilization needs to exceed
// (booster_cpu_spikemax times) for mmtimer to increase and CPU load to be reduced.
booster_cpu_spikelevel 75
// booster_cpu_floor x [0 to 100]
// If CPU management is enabled, level which CPU utilization needs to stay under
// (for booster_cpu_quiettime seconds) for mmtimer to decrease and FPS to increase.
booster_cpu_floor 50
// booster_cpu_mminc x [1 to 10]
// If CPU management is enabled, amount mmtimer will increment (Booster2 will also decrease
// the mmtimer by 1 for every 5 minute period that booster_cpu_spikelevel is not exceeded.
booster_cpu_mminc 2
// booster_cpu_quiettime
// Seconds required without CPU spike exceeding booster_cpu_floor before
// mmtimer value is decreased by 1.
booster_cpu_quiettime 300
// booster_cpu_mmmin x [1 to 10]
// If CPU management is enabled, Booster2 will never set the mmtimer below this value.
booster_cpu_mmmin 3
// booster_cpu_mmmax x [1 to 10]
// If CPU management is enabled, Booster2 will never set the mmtimer above this value.
booster_cpu_mmmax 8
// booster_lite_mode x [0 to 3]
// Controls how the Booster-Lite approach is implemented:
// 0 - HLDS sleeps 10ms if no network packets are received. If HLDS
// receives a packet, it stops sleeping. (this mode has been added
// to provide backward compatibility with how BL v1.00 worked).
// 1 - HLDS attempts to sleep 10ms. If a packet is received,
// HLDS stops sleeping. Otherwise it attempts to sleep another 10ms.
// 2 - HLDS attempts to sleep 50ms. If a packet is received, it stops sleeping.
// 3 - HLDS will sleep the standard amount (this value turns this feature off).
booster_lite_mode 3
// booster_lite_extra_sleep_frequency x
// Forces HLDS server to sleep x milliseconds even if a packet is received.
// This setting helps to lower CPU usage.
booster_lite_extra_sleep_frequency 0
// booster_stats_cpu_counter
// Sets the string Booster will use to query cpu performance. By default this is
// "\Processor(_Total)\% Processor Time". Manually set this only if you need to
// support non-english counter names or to query a specific processor.
// This cvar is only used if booster_cpu_enabled is turned on.
// booster_stats_in_counter
// Sets the string Booster will use to query bandwidth in. By default this is
// "\Network Interface(NDIS 5.0 driver)\Bytes Received/sec". Manually set this only
// if you need to support non-english counter names or to query a specific interface.
// This cvar is only used if booster_stats is turned on.
// booster_stats_out_counter
// Sets the string Booster will use to query bandwidth out. By default this is
// "\Network Interface(NDIS 5.0 driver)\Bytes Sent/sec". Manually set this only
// if you need to support non-english counter names or to query a specific interface.
// This cvar is only used if booster_stats is turned on.
// booster_stats [0-1]
// This turns on statistics gathering. This options is not supported. See info at the end
// of the readme regarding this option.
// booster_trigger_cmd
// Sets a command to be executed the first time (during any given map) that CPU consumption
// trips booster_cpu_spikemax. This allows admins to do things such as turn off wallhack
// blocks or other CPU intensive systems under heavy load.
// booster_intping
// This is a read-only value, and holds the current average player ping.
// booster_extping
// This is a read-only value, and holds the current ping to the address set in booster_pingaddr.
// booster_pingaddr
// Sets the address (in IP format x.x.x.x) that Booster will ping once a minute. If no value is
// set, Booster won't ping anything. Pinging an external address is useful in helping determine
// latency issues. If clients are showing high ping, pings to a nearby router can help determine
// if the problem is close to the server or part of something that is beyond the administrator's
// control.
Than finnaly my PC Infos :

Conclusion
A big thank you if you read all this, it takes me about 1 hour to write it all, hopefully I will find someone to help me, also I want to know if from my connection and PC I can host 22 players, from what I see rom a website, I can host up to 32, but I'm not really beleiving it since it's old about 2 years.
What I want to do ?
Boost my server up to 1000FPS I think it will help players to not lag.
A mini-quick-easy-readable-nice tutorial about "How to reduce server lag".
And finnaly a CoKe !
