I joined the server this morning at 5:30 Eastern time, it was great for a while, when the sudden death came the server went laggy as hell. It became so laggy at 6:10 I had to quit and report it. I know the difference between server lag and player lag. If you could, in the near future, thank you in advance.
I have to agree with server lag, but not the server restart, This happens almost like everytime on the server, But then the lag vanishes.
I'm gonna look into the QoS and updaterate settings. Restarting the server doesn't do anything, it's a problem with some background service or bandwith.
Okay, I've set QoS so it gives priority to the TF2 server. And, I'm running an UDP optimizer in the background that should customize kernel calculations for source servers. I've also set the virus scanner (a passive one of course since it's a server) for scanning at 11:30 CET only, so there should be only a slight lag around that time.
