Server Reqs for ACE

Recommended Posts

I want to host a ArmA 2 ACE Wasteland server that would have a max slots of 120. What server requirements would I need for this server? I was on the United Operations forums and they told me that to run an ACE server I would need a fast CPU and 1.5GB of RAM per instance. To me, that sounds a bit weak but then again I am unfamiliar with system reqs for ArmA 2 servers.

Really for any A2 server you need fast CPU and at least that much RAM.. I would go with 2GB per just in case (really depends on mission type.. I assume wasteland uses a bunch of RAM) and get the fastest clock speed you can for CPU - server .exe will only use 2 cores and disable hyperthreading if it's enabled. Try to avoid slot servers as you are most likely sharing resources with other customers (if you are renting that is).

With that many players you're gonna need a good connection to the interwebs... no experience running a server for that many players but a good rule is 128kbps per player upload... more for "intense" missions like MSO. You might find that 120 players plus AI is too much for the server to handle... in which case you can look at running a Headless Client to handle all the AI
