My understanding was that the TF2 beta isn't a beta in the traditional sense. It's more of a playground for Valve to test ongoing changes and as such I believe it will be around longer than 2 months.

So Edge, is this something you can support for us?

In terms of code, it isn't really a beta (yet). Valve has changed some stats and effects on the weapons for community testing and feedback. The code base is really the normal TF2 engine. So from an operational standpoint, it should be pretty stable. However, it's possible that Valve will tweak the e...

Pretty please??????

Edge, After researching all this, it is apparent that the code is just too heavy for max players. We appreciate all the help with various hardware. At this point we need to get the account back to what we are going to pay for. We would like convert the existing account to: - A two core managed linux...

At 9:20ET on the real hardware with 28 players no addins/plugs at the start of dustbowl, FPS dropped to below 40fps for a noticeable time.

Rlm, We've seen that behavior too. Even on an empty server, the FPS will vary. I'm not so concerned about that. The problem is as more people jump in, the FPS will get even more crazy. Eventually, like around 20-26 players the FPS will start to briefly drop below 66 and you may "feel it" i...

Well the news isn't good. We test drove the managed 2 vCPU linux install. We ran as bare as possible, no metamod/sourcemod, turned off logging, no stats, disabled STV at the base 250 fps. First I threw in 32 bots on dustbowl. At the start of the round the FPS went down to < 10 for significant period...

Edge,
Ohnoes replied to the previous ticket to let you know you can convert the current machine to one that will support a managed linux install.
Is this sufficient or should we open a second ticket?

Edge, Thanks for the help. We did try messing with sv_parallel_packentities, sv_parallel_sendsnapshot, net_queued_packet_thread values and -threads on the command line with no impact. Also, we put: sv_minrate 25000 sv_maxrate 30000 sv_maxupdaterate 66 sv_minupdaterate 66 fps_max 600 in the server.cf...

[quote="Edge100x"]To clarify, when I say try a 2-core, I mean that we could move you to one temporarily for testing purposes, without a charge. Just mention this in the support request and we can arrange it for you. I believe that ohnoes requested that you add another vCore for testing. Th...

If you want, I can set one up on my VDS :) I'm running a 1 Core in Chicago. As a matter in fact, if you want, I'll get you an FTP user/pass on mine and you can upload your addon files so we can test those as well. rlm, Thanks for the offer. NFO has moved our VDS to a different host so in a sense we...

As recommended, we have switched to 2003 and didn't see much difference. We are a little frustrated. The other admin, ohnoes, has been working this issue for the better part of three days. We will try the server.cfg changes recommended later today. Edge, could you point us to another customer/public...
