The server will require a huge amount of bandwidth.To my knowledge the srcds software is not multi-threaded so you wont see any benefits from a dual processor machine. A gig to two of RAM will be optimal for running a couple instances. You really need at least 512 MB of RAM and a good modern processor to run a TF2 server properly. Depending on what game you’re running and what settings are applied srcds can use a good amount of processor and RAM.Don’t let it confuse you, the name is still used in places but (in this article) it is the same thing as srcds. This was the name of the old version of srcds (aka Gold Source) that ran the original Half-Life and Counter Strike. You may see references to “hlds” in places, hlds stands for Half-Life Dedicated server.

You will not gain anything by having the 64-bit version. So if you are setting up a server just for Source games then be sure to use the 32-bit version of Ubuntu.

They build a version for Windows, Linux and Mac so you can run it on whatever system you happen to have available.
#TF2 MIC NOT WORKING MAC INSTALL#
I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to install and configure a server that runs exactly the way I want.Īll Valve multiplayer games run off of the same base server software, Source Dedicated Server (SRCDS). I recently decided that I wanted to set up a dedicated server running Team Fortress 2, the very entertaining multiplayer first-person shooter game by Valve.
