Server testers wanted

Iron Warrior · 10-23-2003, 06:58 PM

Hello All,

I put together a PC I am using as a dedicated server for BF1942(no mod)

It is usually up weeknights and Sunday night until I get the time to monitor it more. I would like to know how the game play is (Lag, Flag count, etc.)

It is a P4 2.4Ghz processor with HT. 500Mhz FSB. 1gig of RAM running on a cable modem.

It's a 22 player server(Bandwith permitting) running in the US.
* Feel free to use it when we are not having practice.

EA BombSquad - World War

Using the EA name so more people will find it when they filter. Plays 1 round per map.

A 22 player server on a cable connection?? I hope you've got a superduperUbercable connection or it's going to be one great lagfest.

Yeah, I thought about that. I'll probably lower it after I see it happen.

I have comcast pro at home, which is guaranteed to be no less that 3.6 mb/s, but it always runs around 5mbs. I had a server up for a bit, but in my experience it wasn't the dl speed that mattered, it was the stupid capped upload speed at 312kbs that really made it impossible to run anything over an 6 player server. BF is a bandwidth hungry game that is not meant to be ran on a cable connection. I'm upping the DSL speed at my office to run a server there, but even then I wont be able to host more than 12 people on a 1mbs up/down connection.
