server numbers suggestion?

[ACG_Flyby]

Can someone steer me straight on the subject of attaining server numbers in excess of 100 members? What is needed to attain this? I'm a noob and need it spelled out plainly. Do I go to my ISP? Can BoS support 100+ fliers at one time?

thank you,

S!

 

Did I understand correctly, that you want to host a server that can host 100+ players? This is currently impossible, due to a limit coded in the DServer software. The current limit is 84 players.

 

Demands for the server machine to run 84 players isn't much, any reasonably new PC will do. What matters much more, how light/heavy the mission file is. If you want anything that has AI (flak, tanks, trucks etc.) in the mission, you will have to very careful. If you put too many, and then get a full house of players, you will get server overload, lag and other mysterious effects. And all this while your server's CPU is basically idling... Somehow the DServer.exe just doesn't know how to use that power. Our server's (Finnish VirtualPilots - Dynamic War) mission is quite heavy, and such we've had to limit players to 50 to not to get those bad effects...

Flyby, assuming you are asking for ACG, you have to do it in shifts like for CloD. 84 max. You won't get the huge sorties like you are used to, nor the supporting huge bombing raids, as 4 engine bombers are huge resource hogs.

 

Best of luck.
