Server lag on 2fort fastspawn servers

[Klas]

It starts off fine but when the servers fill up and there's explosives flying everywhere I've seen the lag/latency/rego/whatever can get up to about a 2 second delay.

I've got no idea what causes it or how to fix it, but if there's anything I can do to help get it fixed I'd be happy too. I can take some screen footage with the net graph up and very noticeable lag if that's helpful at all.

Possible these servers are just under-resourced?

The two fast respawn 2fort servers run on different hardware, have you noticed it on both of them?

In fact, #06 is running by itself on a vserver. I've just checked it's performance and it doesn't even come close to stressing out the hardware, even during peak times.

#04 shares resources with a few other TF2 servers on dedicated hardware, and that server too is not stressed.

Does anyone else notice problems with lag on these servers?

Actually it is the opposite for me. I find the 2fort servers quite good.

Hmm maybe it's my rates. I'll test some things and gather some evidence as soon as I get a chance.

[Hydra]

No worries.

Keep in mind, if it's a server problem it will affect everyone on the server.
