[bf1942] Connection Problems

[Chad Rose]

I was having the same problem.  Duron 800mhz, 384mb PC133 RAM,
MDK9.0......read posts before install....tried 8 player COOP same
problem....BUT..then.. I changed these exact settings in my
ServerSettings.con to this
------------------------------------
game.serverMaxPlayers 8
game.serverCoopCpu 5
------------------------------------
And had better results..through the whole map cycle..not a very taxing test
but had (CPU Use 68.1%-71.8%) with 5 bots and 3 humans....very limited
connection problems..usually happened when humans entered the game or when
we engaged the bots with aircraft.....the bots still played...i.e. capturing
control points..fighting each other...fighting us....and our ping stayed
stable around 20-23 jumping to 60-80 a few times.....I am gradually going to
add bots at the  same CoopCpu setting and see what happens...this is all
coming along nicely...by the way...... Ryan....keep up the good work.......
