[bf1942] Server keeps crashing above 30 players

[Bill Cuffley]

Having some issues here as well, on the 64-man as soon as it goes over
~30, extreme lag will occur, and some times the server will crash.
Bandwidth is fine (using approx 3Mbit up on a 100mbit pipe) and cpu is
fine(at about 30%), disk IO isn't out of the norms and there's plenty of
ram available.  Running on an SMP kernel on a 3.06GHz P4 /w HT and 1GB
of RAM.  Has this issue been acknowleged by the DICE people?

Thanks.

Bill

That's troubling.  I've been running 40 players without a hitch
(maintaining
50+ average FPS) on a 2.8 P4/1gb RAM.

What are you running that on?  I can't even do 29 players now without my
2.8ghz P4 causing lots of player lag...
