What spec is it?
Click to expand...

Xeon W3520, 24GB ram, 100mbit pipe. Running Ubuntu and obviously NS2 is running through Wine.

edit: Configured now and should be running okay. I've added a few friends as admins... if the server works okay and people start using it I'll get a few people on here with admin also.

It may struggle, will have to see how it goes. The server program is not optimised and generally needs 4ghz+ to run smoothly all the time :(

One thing worth mentioning...

It has been established in this thread that turning off C1E (and maybe other power saving options) can improve tickrates from sub-10 to a stable 30. This can be done with tools such as this one without BIOS access.

Yeah, I have concerns about the performance. We'll have to see. Any idea if part of the problem is due to single threadedness or will it pwn all of my cores?

I could perhaps give that program a try using wine and some kind of window manager but I'd be loathe to play around too much on a dedi box that I rent in a datacentre :s

I think it's the "single threadedness".

I have a gamingdeluxe server running, which is on a xeon etc, but struggles at late game :(

I'm just looking at my dedi provider actually and they seem to have updated their server range so I may move over to a newer processor soon. It would be at least a month away however.
 
How much do you pay out of interest?

I think carnage may have moved the gamingdeluxe servers.

This is about purchased servers, but the pubs should be similar

all our servers run on 3.9ghz turbo'd dell r210vii, you get full ftp access to your server + game panel access, full access to the commandline, and a user friendly webadmin front end to easily manage your servers by default

I'm giving up on this game for now. I can ,10% of the time, get onto a server. Then I get the red connection icon appear and I get dc'd. I'm hoping some patching will sort this out soon.

I'm paying just under £60/month for the dedi. On that I run a couple of websites, a minecraft server for here and a few other small game servers and personal development stuff.

I used to have a server partner that paid almost half the costs but sadly they have had to withdraw.

I just checked and I am about 2.5 months in credit with my dedi rental company. I've sent them a message asking if I could get this refunded/get it transferred over to a new server. We'll see how helpful they are I guess...

edit: Just compared specs and price with the carnage stuff and dear lord they are expensive :eek: Ovh/Kimsufi may not have the best CS ever but I've found it good enough and price/performance they are far ahead of the pack.
 
Hopefully a lot of people give your server a go, would be great if we could get everyone playing together, should make for better games and easier for people to learn how to play the game.
 
Well i've just got my server back.

r210vii e3-1240
3.3ghz 8 core turbod to 3.5ghz
16gb mem
2x500gb sata3

I've just found something far better than the guys I currently use and much better than that deal. I'll probably try to get moved over asap as it's ridiculous how much better a spec you can get for less money than I'm paying right now.

Drop me a trust if you'd like more info as I'll stop derailing the thread now. Apologies all :)

urg Gamingdeluxe.co.uk are **** one of the worst NS2 servers available, see the server complaint thread i made on the ns2 forums.

That was during the beta yes?

To be fair, the server when the beta was running was rubbish. This should now be a lot better!

Go try one, there's around 50 pubs up, and half or so are full at this moment.
 
I'm a bit annoyed it won't let me change my push to talk button to Capslock in game :( don't like using Alt, I end up pressing windows button instead half the time :P

strange, mine is mapped to one of my mousekeys.

It allows me to change to other keys but won't work for Capslock, which is annoying cause I'm so used to it, keep pressing it and talking then remembering no one is listening :P
