8.) Start HL2 DM with this start parameters:
-heapsize 1024000 -novid -dxlevel 81 |
What do those 2 parameters do?

heapsize: amount of data hl2dm preloads into the ram. I use 512000 (512mb). the maximum to use should be half the amount of your ram. I found for my system half the amount results in some startup complication sometimes so I use 1/4.
novid: skip opening video
dxlevel 81: start the game with directx 8 instead of 9, reduces quality and effects but improves fps because of that, usually recommended for pcs under the recommended power for this game.

Make sure you get the numbers right. Dm isnt too good with mem as it is.
1572864 "if you have 3gb"
1048576 "if you have 2gb"
786432 "if you have 1.5gb"
524288 "if you have 1gb"

Depending on your operating system you can squeeze a little more. I have found XP to use less than 400MB to run all services efficiently.
So everything else is fair game for me. Vista needs at least 1GB to even run(still not efficiently) so be much more careful on Vista.
I'm Using 3GB of my 4 and noticed an increase in performace until then. after that nothing.
But each system is different so give them all a test until you see the best performance.

I think i got it!
For tests i played on a other sever with 16 players. fps:~100
Then i try TSGK Server I with 4 players: fps: 120 up to 299
What i have done:
1) RAM set to Dualchannel Mode
2) Uninstall Steam and all Game Data
3) Uninstall Catalyst Control Center and all registry entries belonging to ATI
4) Install only ATI display drivers NOT Catalyst Control Center
5) Install Steam on C: (was on D: until now)
6) Defrag HL2 Gamedata
7) Use the following settings in autoexec.cfg:
rate "50000"
alias net33 "cl_cmdrate 30; cl_updaterate 20; alias netchange net66"
alias net66 "cl_cmdrate 50; cl_updaterate 45; alias netchange net100"
alias net100 "cl_cmdrate 70; cl_updaterate 60; alias netchange net33"
bind "F2" net33
bind "F3" net66
bind "F4" net100
alias netchange "net33"
bind "F4" netchange
cl_interp 0.1
cl_interp_ratio 1
8.) Start HL2 DM with this start parameters:
-heapsize 1024000 -novid -dxlevel 81
I will test it this week on TSGK Server 1 when there are a lot of players playing. I hope that solves my problem....
Stay tuned.... |
Yes, it works!
