recent server performance stuttery?

<div class="IPBDescription">HLDS related?</div>I tried playing a few games today and all of them were stuttery, even on servers with low latency and no or few other players. No matter the server, it was slow. Could this be indicative of the hlds update? I don't remember 160 being particularly bad when that came out. Anyone else?

    My slightly uneducated guess would be it doesn't really matter which delivery system updates your game files... they're still the same game files. Server.exe is still server.exe.

    I could be mistaken... also I just launched my own HLDS server at ns2.fakkelbrigadier.nl and even when I joined it when it was set to -lan true... it felt a bit jittery in Ready Room.... running a Performance Monitor counter now to get some statistics.

    Yeah, it is really odd. Sometimes I can play on a god awful server (in terms of ping) and it is quite smooth.

    Other times I can play on servers with good ping, and the lag is awful.

    I have played on 14 player servers that have been fairly smooth, until someone starts dropping Hydras.

    I noticed this on the ArmoryChamber servers where I usually hang out. They are usually very smooth but lately they have been stuttering, regardless of player count.

    HLDSUpdateTool only runs when an update is actually occurring (Typically, you configure it to run immediately before the server actually starts.) It is <b>completely</b> impossible for it to cause any sort of lag on a server.
