It appears the latest BF server patch was not optimized properly using more CPU than it used to. (pegging up to 62% at times, shouldn't be more than 50%) I am forced to buy small box to put lightweight servers giving bf4/bf3 a little more room to breathe. It is random and isolated but we shouldn't have to experience this.

And it appears second assault server takes most of the brunt
 
Whew, I thought YOU were having performance issues. I was worried that we were going to have to console you and say it happens to every guy (it doesn't).
 
Lol nop i deliver happiness to lucky individuals. If only you can imagine the love I bring from inside my pants...


Shrek is love!
 
looks like this plan worked and not seeing anything past 42% for both battlefield boxes which is excellent.

TF2/CS servers have been moved to a linux box
 
How is the TF2/CS performing being moved to the inferior hardware?

The virtual dedicated box from our provider is very close to a full bareboned machine. They are tweaked to the point where you can't really tell the difference between a full machine to VDS. For games that demand high clock speed and high slots such as BF4/Bf3/Arma/red orchestra full machine is recommended. For smaller size servers VDS works fine. I have tried playing both cs and tf2 tonight and can't tell a difference. While it is a VDS, it is linux and source games like tf2, all cs games, l4d2/l4d etc always perform better on linux. If it was a full machine linux, that would be even better allowing us to run more.
In fact I liked the bullet registration better tonight after I moved the CS:S server over to the linux.

The linux box that we have currently pegs around 52% maxed and still runs fine (knock on wood). It's the crappy dice servers that are extremely fragile like @Soulzz's asshole. His ass starts to cry when it goes 5-10% above 50% here and there. Think of it like that.

With these VDS I can always add extra cores/memory/SSD/bandwidth on the fly (for cheap and done in 2 minutes) if we grow and have demand to host more linux based servers. Maybe Killingfloor 2 when it comes out? I think that will be available for linux.
