SavageCDN 231 Posted December 17, 2013 replace your SATA drive with an SSD if possible Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
terox 316 Posted December 18, 2013 The ssd will only improve start up, it wont have an effect on performance for a server (only a client) For the client it speeds up loading of textures and creates a non stuttering frames The server does nothing with graphics. Have a word with Dwarden too and get hold of the latest performance server.exe if you are running stable Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SavageCDN 231 Posted December 18, 2013 For the SSD I thought he was hosting an MP game (server and client) not running a dedi.. my bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jandrews 116 Posted December 19, 2013 (edited) Maybe he is running a client server and not a dedicated, he doesn't make it clear hey sry for not making it more clear. Its my first time running a client server. I would like to use my MP missions for my clan 8-12 guys while playing in the server too. Was wondering what I could do to play the game play the best for all with my current specs. I am nervous on overclocking my CPU, although I had purchase liquid cooler for that reason. Just haven't moved forward with the overclock, YET. Not sure how much my ISP plays a part in the whole thing but just want to make sure my PC can handle the job. thanks again. my specs quad core AMD 9850 Black ed. not overclock liquid cool 8 gigs RAM SLI GTX 660 x2 broadband internet 25 Mpbs sata HD win 7 64bit *forgot to add; Asus M2N-SLI mobo 1000w power supply Edited December 19, 2013 by JAndrews1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SavageCDN 231 Posted December 24, 2013 I would try overclocking then you want the fastest CPU clock speed possible. What is your upload speed? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jandrews 116 Posted January 15, 2014 I have another question regarding my personal PC as server, non dedicated. I tried having some clan join my server last night, some were able to join and others were not. I think that was may be due to their internet connection. I did not have any mods on that they already did not have, but I am wondering, besides overclocking which I did which is going well thus far, Is there anything else I can do to open my PC to join my ARMA server but not jeopardize the security. I only have windows firewall and AVG antivirus which is manual on mode. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
