OFP will use all the CPU you can throw at it. It won't make use of a dual cpu system, though. When you see it running at 50%, that's the same as 1 cpu running at 100%. All you can do is get a faster CPU. Your CPU should be fine, though. What you really need to worry about is your upload bandwidth. Our server is run off a T3 and I've seen upload bandwidth being used as high as 9Mb/sec.

24.33.8.141

Is there even a dedicated server out?

What was up with that, man? West (GENERAL RAYDEN): "this is Hit_Sqd_Raybyrd and i think you guys made a huge mistake by messing with my guys prepare to be hacked later on tonite AND i swear TO you guys wont be able to keep this SERVER RUNNING ALL WEEK LONG" That was real cool, man. Not only do we have a screenshot, but we have your player ID off the server log. What is your deal? id: 1330516

Well, apparently he changed his ID# off of the squad xml. But that's was the original number about 2 weeks ago. We're not worried about it, I just wanted people to see what he's doing.

Yes, we have Raybyrd's player ID. Not only is it made public in Hit Squad's xml, it has also been compared to RayByrd being in game. There were 2 admins present during his little visit. One of them remote desktopped to the server and checked the server's log and compared it to Raybyrd's ID#. It matched. When he came on as the second guy, I told him to check these forums. I'm just trying to let everyone know incase Stoner's is down all week.

That's all he said. Besides trying to start a couple of arguments a couple minutes before.

Umm, why do you think? Public exposure?

Then you come back as 2-ELITE-4-U and say you're just checking something? Man...

That's normal. Nobody's quite sure why. Or whether it's microsoft's fault or BIS' fault.

bump!

We need to get this cleared up.

I went ahead and put those settings in my flashpoint.cfg.

Am I wasting my time by putting these settings in my flashpoint.cfg? MaxMsgSend=256; MinBandwidth=300000; That's all I have concerning my dedicated. I have a 3Mb download and 360Kb upload. Cable.

56k is a thing of the past, bro. The grass is definately greener on this side.

Excellent post.

Yeah, I had 3 guys on my server last night with the same message. But, they didn't have modded config bins either.

If you think you're gonna go from 5KB/sec to 7, 8, or 10KB per second through a software program may God have mercy on your soul:D. Those programs will "optimize" your connection, but will not produce a signifigant result.

Acceptable desync would be 0. This just goes to show you how shite OFP's netcode is.

I run clonecd and nero under win2k. I play flashpoint everyday.

As I was saying before. No. You can't increase your bandwidth by "tweaking".

Well, 56kers should come to terms with the fact that today's games are way ahead of 56k technology. Also, 10Mb/s would be awesome for a server with the right hardware. Our squad rents a T3 line for $100/mo. It still lags sometimes. Just goes to show that this game is not perfect.

I think we should build a list like that. But, we should be careful of the ID#'s that folks post. For all we know it could be from the wrong type of person.

I have to agree. I don't believe it does anything in my experience.
