I've managed to get niko's cksurf (1.19), sourcemod(1.8.0-git5949) and meta mod(1.10.6) with stripper also installed, but it seems like my server can't handle anything, it lags out after 2-3 people join the server and even sometimes when I'm alone and testing the server.. I'm running on 102.4 tickrate, same stuff happens on 64 tick.



I have the server on a 16.04 LAMP droplet on digital ocean's 5$ a month which should be strong enough to handle a couple players, right? (16 player slot server)

steps to produce the server:
install lamp droplet
get linux game server manager to install csgo server
install plugins
fixed every error i could find in errors log and console log besides mapgroups, which i dont think should be lagging the server?

when does it crash?:
on map changes really often
after 1 or more player joins the server, starts to lag for a minute then crashes the server making it auto restart to the default map.

errors_* log in sourcemod/logs is clear.

L* logs also clear

I also sometimes seem to get a net channel rate limit error message in the console during lag before the server kills itself which I have trouble locating in the logs at the moment..

I hope somebody could help me with this problem and if there's any more information you need I'll try to provide them asap!

What's the output of:

cat /proc/cpuinfo

Why are you using LAMP?
Have you tried running your server without SourceMod installed (rename addons folder)?

Didn't want to go through the hassle of installing mysql again, as I had the same problems on a fresh ubuntu droplet which I've destroyed to try a full reinstall of the server on a new droplet.


I just resized my droplet to a 10$ before I saw your post to try and see if it would help, I'll resize back and post my results again in a couple minutes and thanks for the fast response!

These are the results for 10$ droplet

And no I haven't tried it without sourcemod running.. I will try that and see if it doesnt lag and crash anymore..

Figured you weren't on a legacy node, those run the 3.4GHz, you're on the 2.4GHz.
Since you're running a surf server, or so it seems, this is going to be the problem.

You could try it without SourceMod and see if it still runs the same, but I've done this same thing and was remedied by switching to a legacy node.
They don't offer them, but because I have several legacy servers they allowed me to keep on that.

Sorry, but I really can't offer you anymore help other than to ask them about switching to a higher GHz CPU model.

Haven't gotten to downsizing the droplet again but it seems like upgrading it to the 10$ actually helped, I'm not getting the map change crashes anymore, atleast not for now while testing it as a single player on the server.. maybe it will act up again.. I'll try mailing digital ocean and see if they could switch it for me. Thanks again!

Sure thing, if you get it to work properly that's good and if you find anything that helps you in getting a solution be sure to post back for everyone else.
Best of luck and if there's anything else, let us know.
