[bf1942] Server keeps crashing above 30 players

[Craig Kaiser]

Beats me?

I have switched to Windows 2003 for awhile maybe that helps?

Also running a 32 player DC and a 20 player CS server on the same box.

No web server running at the moment. We are most likely dropping the DC
server and just going to run the Vietnam and CS server only.

Is the bfv linux server SMP capable?  How would a processor that's not all
that much faster than mine with a single cpu, be able to do more than
double the number of users?  I'm running the BFV CC off a windows box,
that manages my linux server.  When it wasn't running for a while, I
noticed that the server seemed more stable.  Are you using the BFV CC at
all with your linux server? I'm using Redhat linux... is the BFV server
incompatible with some flavors of linux?
