Hello,
Is this normal? FPS is unstable, from 70 to 500 > 1000.

Also is the "In Out" normal?

Thanks

What additional parameters are you using in your commandline and what are your rates set to in server.cfg

@Gremnix

Can you provide us some details about your setup, such as OS, AMXX vers, meta list, plugins list ?
That would help us help you better.

If your getting 1000fps at any time, then no you shouldn't be seeing it drop as low as 70fps as long as your system and setup is stable and correctly configured.
That's also a very high CPU use especially with only 8 players.

Hello,
Small dedicated server by IZ company:

Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2650 0 @ 2.00GHz, 16 cores 3 GB DDR3 500 HDD

Command line:

./hlds_run -game cstrike +port 27087 +maxplayers 12 +map de_dust2 -pingboost 2

Latest SteamCMD edition without AMXX and meta. (disabled them, but same situation).

sys_ticrate 1000

sv_maxrate 100000 sv_minrate 60000 sv_minupdaterate 60 sv_maxupdaterate 101

The only way you can achieve a stable 1000fps while running on a Linux OS is to set "sys_ticrate 10000".
not 1000 but 10000. Try that and please post back if it helped. I'm sure it will.

Also remember that Linux doesn't run HLDS as well as Windows server 2008r2 enterprise while running at a boosted 1000 fps.

Hi mate, with sys_ticrate 10000 same stuff happens. From 100 > 900, unstable FPS.

What version of Linux are you using ?
3gb of ram isn't much but it should be okay as long as your not running too many other processes, I prefer at least 3.0ghz cores to run my servers on, but with 16 cores that should also be okay. Everything else seems normal. You say these FPS drops happen even without metmod and amxx ?

Hello,
It's an CentOS 6.4 32bit.

I know that Valve recommends running HLDS/steamCMD on high priority in windows.
Have you tried using the "nice" command to set the thread priority for SteamCMD ?
Lowest is "nice 19" highest is "nice -20"

I know this is not what you would like to hear, but I highly recommend running game servers on Windows 2008r2 enterprise.

But still unstable FPS from what I can tell.
