Bad Ping | Bad Bandwidth | Worst Desync

Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

 

I bet, I am not the first one starting a talk about this, but this is just weird ..

First of all, I got a Dedicated Server running the exile mod on esseker with ryans zombies and so on. All of the players only have small issues with the connection, but its fine, since I am still working on the bandwidth tuning.

The point is, the game is absolutely unplayable for me. I got a ping 120+, bandwidth < 150 and a massive desync. It's so bad, that I cant even see the zombies, AI oder any other players running. They are just standing there. The delay between pressing "Open door" and the door actually opening is 30-40+ seconds. Sometimes it never opens. Note: I do not only have these issues on my server and I ruled out the possibility the server being the bad boy here. I am working in a data center, so I just switched the physical server and addionally am now using WinServer 2012 R2 instead of Linux Ubuntu 14.04. The server specs are a little bit worse than before, though the game works perfectly with 60fps+. The only thing is this bad connection, which, as I said, is not only bad on my servers.

 

I did ..

  • .. reinstall the game
  • .. restart my router
  • .. call my internet provider (as usual they basically told me that it is my problem ..)
  • .. reconfigure my router
  • .. reconfigure startup parameters on both, server and client
  • .. test out various basic.cfg configs and ended up with a pretty good one, as the players on my server say

If I cant fix it I will probably

  • .. reinstall windows
  • .. test it out with an other PC, though I dont have one and dont see the point so far
  • .. test the connection without a router in between

But I really dont want to go for any of the last three points, cause they will take time I really dont have or are just a little dangerous ..

 

I have got a 100 Mbit connection at home and can ping my own servers with about 7-9ms, which is just perfect. Everything works fine, every other game, just everything but Arma 3 Multiplayer.

Is there anything you guys can advise me to do? I am really upset about this, since my connection and my PC really should not be the problem ..

Is there the possibility the router being crap? Though it used to work some weeks ago, when I last played King of the Hill, which is now unplayable too, which is supporting the point, that my server is not the bad thing here ..

 

Anyway, I really do appreciate literally any help ..

 

Thanks and have yourselfs a good day

Cheers

well hosting a dedi of your own pc is all nice and well BUT you have to take e few things in account. If you run a dedi on your own computer you will alsways get problems in acctual online gameplay because, 1. all the events happening on the server happen on your computer, all the things happening on the client, happens on your computer. this wil give quite a hard push to your CPU, RAM and with other players connecting to it also your bandwith. Normal dedicated servers located in data centers will have a high bandwith cap (like in the TB's) where a normal connection might have high download and upload speeds but not the crazy high bandwith limit.

 

Having all that run on your own computer might result in capping your bandwith cap that together with Hi CPU usage might also result in the major Desync

Ahh, you got me wrong. The dedi is running on a server in a data center, not on my PC!
