cpt-fred 1 Posted May 11, 2012 Hi gents,I have 2 questions to Dev's and Admins.Is that normal that's my 8Cores processor only is 20% loaded when there's only 350-450 Zombies on map? Is that normal that's only 1 or 2 cpu's are used for server when hosting with "-cpucount=8 command setting" and the others are arround 5%?There's a screenshoot attached to the post.Regards,Fred Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vipeax 318 Posted May 11, 2012 At first: Yes, it's CPU intense.At second: Yes, only uses 2 cores at max, no-matter the settings. The main limit is 1 thread that will take down 1 core entirely. Even if it used 8 cores, the 1 thread that matters is simply a loop that seems to take down any CPU with enough users. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dasweb 0 Posted May 11, 2012 Ouch... that looks absolutely brutal.Can anyone confirm that a second server on the box will be able to use different core(s)? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vipeax 318 Posted May 11, 2012 It will. These are 4x 65s.Server 1 uses 1-4, 2 uses 5-8, 3 uses 9-12, 4 uses 13-16. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cpt-fred 1 Posted May 11, 2012 Okay so i have to set it up to 2 cores.And what about zombies number? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
