Server Trickrate drop down from 31 to 1 when the server is full

Hitman[GER]

My ns2 server have bad performance , server trick 31 unstable and get down to 1 when the server is full and to more things are droped and one CPU core had 50-100% .

the server is running on my root and the ns2 server had 14 slots :)

root hardware
i7 950 3.07 GHz
12 GB RAM
Windows Server 2008 RC2 Enterprise 64-Bit
HDD 2*250 GB Raid 0
Network connection 1 GB/s

another server have the sam problem whit the server rates.

Sadly, that sounds about right for you're hardware setup. I think there are two major things to realize for the current NS2 beta are:
1. NS2 largely only uses one core at the moment (i.e. additional cores don't help performance)
2. Because of (1), the most important factor for server performance is the single-core CPU speed (i.e. if you want a consistent ~30 tickrate for 14-16 players at full load, you really need 4.0+GHz)

The only two things you can really do are i) reduce the max playercount to something like 10-12 players or ii) wait for further server optimization. The current servers that you see handle 14-16 players are usually OCd 2500k/2600k in the 4.3-4.7Ghz range. However, the nice thing is that you can essentially run a separate server for each core such that for an i7 2600k you could theoretically run up to 4 NS2 servers.

What is your server maxplayer size? What rate do you get at 12 players?

at 12 players i see the sam problem by full server and to more things drop
