[bf1942] 50 player BFV Servers

[Jon Wolberg]

RE: [bf1942] running mod on dedicated Linux ServerThat link was also in regard to UT2k4 servers, which I will agree with you do run better on Opteron platforms.

The thing is that its not even coming close to maxing out my P4.  If it was then yes I would try something faster, but im not even getting 50% usage.

ASE says the Nvidia servers are on 2000mhz platforms, so they are either AMD Athlon 64 3200+ or Opteron 146/246

  I got a pretty good idea what machine u running on? P4 per chance?
  Also what bandwidth u set to?
  Basically u need an opteron top end one with bandwidth limited
  to 128K.
  For a quite interesting read for the P4 fans out there check out the
  following thread:
  http://www.ataricommunity.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=379447

  Quite neatly shows how Opterons eat P4's for breakfast and then
  go off for lunch :P

  N.B. Currently bench marking a Dual Operton 248 when the results
  are out I'll post a link.

    Has anyone been able to figure out how Nvidia runs their BFV servers @ 50 players with no lag?  I ping 100 on them ( cross country ) and I dont lag whereas my local pub is @ 42 and doesnt run as well.

    I fail to believe that there is something they know that I dont when it comes to running BF servers.

    Any ideas?

      Actually I think it just needs to have game.serverDedicated set to zero because otherwise it won't do anything.

      I fixed this for BF1942 by just ignoring the serverDedicated flag when generating CRCs.

      Excellent... so that makes the file:

      - ----------------- 8< -------------- snip --------------- 8<
      ------------------
      @echo off
      echo Building MD5 fingerprints

      ren Mods\%MOD%\settings\serversettings.con serversettings.bak

      for %%x in (%FILES%) do %EXE% +game %MOD% +restart 1 +hostServer 1
      +generateMD5 %%x

      ren Mods\%MOD%\settings\serversettings.bak serversettings.con

      Change MOD and FILES to suit your mod/server.
