    I <i>believe</i> it increases the FPS of the HLDS. Basically removing the 100FPS cap that HLDS has. Sacrifice CPU usage (server-side) for lower pings.

    At least, thats what I remember reading about it...

    it helps at the same time uses more cpu a average server without pingboost usually always runs under 50 fps. If there was a server with 24 slots full ive seen the fps drop all the way to 29 (Which is horrible) After installing ping boost it was above 70fps with 24 slots full Pings are very noticable to lower. with pingboost on. though this is linux i havent tryed windows pingboost yet though

    Note: this is for ns for other mods that use less cpu its quite diffrent

    Bull what is your problem exactly, High pings? there are other plugins that would work better if you have consistant high pings.

    Otherwise Pingbooster from what i have seen lowers pings by about 10 and increases cpu usage and also during those heavy loads(big battles) it will actually hurt gameplay because the pings tend to spike dramaticly.

    FYI: The <b>-pingbooster</b> command is Linux only.

    For windows, you'll have to find WINHLBooster or a similiar product.

    How do you find out the server fps in linux hlds? In our steam server I just use the stats command, I've never come across a command like that for older hlds.
