Comment on The best OS for hosting games? (non windows) (opinion) by patpro

@Monk

I was mainly looking for tuning advice on the game server side it self, in order to use my hardware/OS at its best. That’s how I’ve found your blog. I’m already using HZ=1000 (but not DEVICE_POLLING, yet). All my players are in the same country, so we have in general a “game ping” between 15ms and 50ms.
The server is not dedicated to L4D2, it’s a general purpose server (mail/http/personnal backup…).

I was also wondering what could I do to optimize the running of linux binaries on FreeBSD. The only reason I use linux compatibility mode is to run the L4D2 server.

It’s nice to see people like you, strongly involved in optimization of game servers and with a deep knowledge of what’s under the hood.

@patpro

Not sure what kind of ‘tuning’ advice you want, what problems are you having? Just enable DEVICE_POLLING in the kernel, set HZ to 1000, disable cpufreq and that should be enough

I’ve discovered your blog few minutes ago, and I’m very happy to read that you promote FreeBSD for game servers. I’m currently hosting a L4D2 dedicated server on FreeBSD 8.1.
It runs ok, but I was looking for tuning advices (ticrate and so on).

So far people like it better than the 66fps stuff.

I’m going to sell this for a one time fee.

cool!
now it would be nice performing some blind tests to see if it performs better for players

Thanks for your reply

@Claudio I've never seen that error before. It looks like it's having trouble using HPET as a timesource and falls back to using TSC instead. Do you have HPET actually on your server? (ls /dev/hpet)
