Raise Threshold on tic delay

[II./JG1_Kadin]

Preliminary testing shows that the Dedicated Server does not bog down when the tic delay reaches above 20.  Further testing is needed to be sure but  If so, would a consideration to raise the threshold so the message " Multiplay server is overloaded:...." does not show up as often? Unless of course, I got the story totally wrong and the recent optimization have nothing to do with the tic delay...

Just Reporting: The "Multiplay Server is overload: Plane erratic behavior..." message was plastered all over the screen yesterday.  However the fps counter was 59-60 (v-synch on) constantly, AI behaved properly, did their task and were smooth.

Finally I used "H" to remove reports on screen and you could not tell that the Server was screaming murder!!

Amazing job guys, I wish I knew more to truly appreciate what you have done

Tick delay has nothing to do with graphics or FPS. It's a measure of CPU load on the server. To raise it you just need a faster CPU.

_{So two questions arise:}

_{1. Same setup before the recent update was causing issues with AI and of course clients' FPS}

_{2. When checking server CPU usage prior to update and now it is around 10-23%,  RAM about 4 GB and no SSD activity.   The CPU is an Intel i7 3820 @ 3.60}

 

_{Not that I am complaining by any means, this all an excellent outcome.  I am just trying to understand things better for future designs.}

The current DServer only uses a single process, hence the low usage on your i7.
