Ghost Players

[ZERO]

The recent valve update causes ghost players that eat slots. Server restarts fix the problem so if the slots start to fill up please restart the server. I am sure valve will release a game breaking update in a few days to fix this.

In addition I will also note that valve is now playing around with the engine attempting to improve cpu performance and get rid of the fps_max command replacing it with some new stuff that will in theory make it easier to tune the server. This has been driven by the increased server demand required for all the new tf2 players. While this will logically break the server when they release it I am looking forward to anything that helps us improve server performance. In addition they say it will help allow you to run more servers on one box which will also be great for everyone.

I REALLY hope this help's with overall server performance. More servers or not, I will welcome increased performance to existing ones.
