I am wondering what kind of stability people with their own servers are experiencing.
In order to test your current stability you may use a program like HLSW or simply go to your console and type STATS and press enter.
You should get something like this:
10:15:46 CPU In Out Uptime Users FPS Players 41.50 49894.90 125378.51 1492 70 143.04 13
The number I highlighted is the amount of consecutive rounds that your server has run without crashing.. Now obviously if you have recently restarted your server that number wont be very high... Otherwise the larger the number the better..
I find most people have their server crash by the time it hits 300 and I often struggle to get the server over 700 - 800 and that is what A LOT of debugging work !!!
This number should get to like 3 or 4 thousand if you have a good server... In general One day of server running without crash 24 hours is usually 1200 - 1600 rounds !
BTW My server IP = 208.167.227.103:27015
I AM AT 1492 right now I hope other people will post their IP and their STATS

IP u may find by pressing the banner on bottom of message. That was rly funny reading "consecutive rounds". Now I understand why koshy always mentions "rounds" when talks about server stability. I'll tell you a little secret, Valve aren't idiots and they will never measure time as "rounds". It's actually minutes based on Engine Time which starts from 0 when server launches and keeps increasing. By the way, the crash accurancy depends not only how cool your code is but also on if the server is Linux/Windows and the maximum perfomance server may output. In other words if you run 64/64 server on Windows with 1.0 GHZ it will crash even without loading WCS...

So 1425 would be 1425 minutes of uptime? Thanks, - Koshy

My experience leads me to beleive that Linux servers, although more difficult to set up, tend to be more stable.

Well im getting reports that the more people that are in my server, it gets laggier. Is python less laggy? Should i be converting to that?

I deleted a bunch of player_spawn graphics and that helped a lot i heard. You got these skills put together where certain races have 2-3 player_spawn graphics loading at once.
Tryin to test python out, not going so well

Instead of guessing if it helped look at your STATS.
That is the whole point of this thread. Try to get an average of how many minutes your server runs before crash.

That means yours has been up 506 minutes.. Try not to reset it ! instead keep checking it once an hour and see how high it goes  You should get to 1,440 before crashing to have what I consider a healthy server. That means 24 hours with no crash.
