  Another Experiment    
Posted By Pvt_John -  
I thought I'd try out a little experiment for a day or two.



The server resource utilization, and the load on players PCs, goes up dramatically when the server is completely full. We have heard from other server admins that the Source engine begins to bog down with more than 18 players.



We have been reluctant to go with less than twenty player slots because we are full up often on both servers and people are therefore having trouble getting in as it is.



So, my idea was to reduce both public DoDS servers to 18 slots, and add a third public server at 18 slots.



The new Server:

Server Name: SunLit Crossfire

IP Address: 69.28.221.230:27015



Let's see how it goes. Your input is welcome.

Sounds like a good idea to try. By the way, I was getting good FPS last night on every map with 18 or so players on. LadyHawk

Bite me John. ;P<br />

And truly...the effort is appreciated. I think it made a difference...for me at least. I had a score in Hobofire of something like 65 kills to 30 deaths in a full server (18).Now granted, it could be because Hobofire is large, and so gun battles are not all grouped tightly together. However, even in Small Hill, my hit registration seemed better, and I had only tiny little instances of stuttering. I had to go to sleep before I could test <br />
I hope this has helped some others too, because I am delighted. :) And...teehee...see my post in the hardware forum as well.
