[Ynet]

i have been having a problem with my server recently whenever the server is about to fill up lets say 26 players+ the lags start the less players alive the less lag there is
i tried checking the error logs and i haven't found anything that pointed me in the right direction
i was hoping there is a way to find out which plugin uses the most resources or something like that
ty.


my server has been getting ddosed aswell however i am not sure if that is the cause for the lags today

it may be a bad plugin, try setting your server rates, leave '-pingboost 3'

What are good rates? And what's the difference between "-pingboost 3" and "-pingboost 2"? Thank you.

PHP Code:

sv_unlag "1"
sv_maxunlag "0.1"
sv_unlagsamples "1"
sv_minrate "50000"
sv_maxrate "100000"
sv_minupdaterate "30"
sv_maxupdaterate "100"
sys_ticrate "1000.0" 


pingboost 3 uses all cpu core / threads.

HLDS is a single-threaded application and therefore can only use a single core. According to the Valve wiki, pingboost "selects between optimized HLDS network code stack".

The game itself is single threaded unless you can prove otherwise. The documentation clearly says it's about the network code stack. If it's just the network code stack that is multithreaded, I guess that's possible, do you have any proof of this?
