I put this in the 100 player server thread but many might not read that one… What kind of bandwidth are you guys seeing with this game? Man, it’s totally off the scale for me. I’m hitting 700k sustained uploads (peaking over 1000k) to the server while at the same time hitting 400k downloads with only 10-12 guys. I don’t see how hosting 20 or more is even possible unless you own your own ISP site. I host a racing game that can host 30 guys and it uses a fraction of the bandwidth that this game does and the warp is a lot less. It’s also far more important to have fewer warps in a racing game. Are you controlling the bandwidth somehow, or am I doing something wrong, or is it really this much of a pig? I can’t even afford to host this game anymore and we have a great server with tons of bandwidth, but not enough for this game. My ISP bill is gonna kill me this month. Tom
