<div class="IPBDescription">Any help out there?</div> Guys,

My server has now decided to run like crap. I have changed absolutely nothing on my server. But tonight it decides to run @ 44-66 fps, when it used to run at 100 97% of the time. I have gone so far as to uninstall HLSERVER, reinstall, install V1.00 and the fps is still running the same. Of course the pings sky rocket and thats the end of it. So..

Anyone got an idea

WIN32
1.6GHz P4
512MB Ram
Plenty of harddrive space
T-1 (wide open)

    you rebooted....hehehe....sorry...couldn't resist.

    check out readyroom.org's server tuning guide. Check for a background process that has gone awire as well. This happens alot on winblows <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I suspect available CPU time or memory is lacking. Check your running processes and available resources. Server OS?

    Now its running fine this morning, 97-100fps. I didn't change anything. I looked into background applications, but their aren't any that are running at that time.

    Server runs Win2k Pro.

    check to make sure that pesky little (System "tuning") program that moves all the stuff around on you harddrive wasn't saping all the CPU and Disk i/o

    Well its still doing it.

    I have:

    reinstalled the O/S from scratch
    reinstalled HLDS
    reinstalled NS
    installed NO plugins

    And it still ran the same.

    I turned it on today and it ran fine for about 30 minutes, then like a switch the FPS dropped to nothing, and the lag began. Could someone be flooding the server possibly? Has anyone seen this problem before?

    u sure that you're hardware didn't get affected somehow ?

    I've had my server freak out before where it suddenly started running the cpu at half speed after a power outage.

    Very very annoying, the game would play fine up until like the 9th person, then BAM, lag city

    I installed a new BIOS and bam, back at it again!
