stilton 0 Posted May 28, 2009 Hi, When a friend pops over to my house, he plays on my second computer over my 100mbit lan. Typically, i would host an arma game on my primary PC, and he would play on the second one. Something im putting in the missions i create is causing lag, but what im most curious about is this.. If i were to host the dedicated server app on my PC, and a copy of arma, i would know where to edit the performance options so the game fully utilizes my lan connection, however as i am hosting the games from within the game itself (not using the dedi server app) i am not sure how i can change the bandwidth options/etc. Any information people can give would be appreciated, thanks.

Bandito 10 Posted May 28, 2009 Hi Stilton, I think that stuff can be added to your arma.cfg file which the client should initialise on startup. You can check the 3rd-4th section down from this post and see if it will apply to LAN as well as Internet games? Hope it helps: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=58761&highlight=bandwidth+settings I guess you'd have to manually calculate the bandwidth and append it to your arma.cfg. Good luck!

stilton 0 Posted May 29, 2009 ah, wow.. thanks. i didnt realise it was that simple ;) here was me thinking that you couldnt change bandwidth settings on a client-initialized server.. Its funny, after i posted and continued searching for other versions of this question ;) there's someone asking the same thing, who gets told that you can't change it :) - i guess i just hope hes wrong and you're right - It's actually on page 5 by now lol. http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=70189 You cannot specify those parameters for a local server as it's really a client acting as a server, not a server with a config.

Bandito 10 Posted May 30, 2009 Those guys have been doing this for a lot longer than I have; I'd take their word over mine, to be honest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stilton 0 Posted June 2, 2009 that's what i like to hear! Confidence! :D i actually hope you're correct and there is some way to fiddle with client-hosted lan settings.. but as im supposed to be doing uni work this very second, i cant really test. some official feedback could sort all this out but ill get around to testing it myself eventually. thanks for the info anyway ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
