[Help] Server issue "Perf/Latency/Sluttr"

Sko0b · October 2012

<div class="IPBDescription">3 help needed</div>Hi, I have an issue with my Server Running the game Maxed player. I got Sluttering, a lot. Ping looks okay 96%.
My server is running under "2x Xeon E5520 2.27 ghz 16 go ram". I can give u information needed and if u wanna try the server is on the list:

nrkgaming.net. Btw i set the server at 16 player instaead of 24, currently having 30 Perf and 86 ping.

Any help would be appreciated on setting the server right. I can post my configs if needed.

I would like to know how to install mod Ns2stats on the server have stability, but the server is distant and i dont have access to the %APPDATA%. How can i set the new path for the mods and maps. Im currently using FileZilla, im a Tech member.

And Does all the maps Customs are whitelisted or only sum of. A list would be nice too :D

Congrats on the lunch ;D im a fan since the 1st Hl1 release

You need a much higher clock speed for hosting NS2. Check out the stickies and other threads for more information.

That thread shows what the other servers are hosting their servers on and the relevant performance data.

You will need a much higher clock as mentioned above. Your 2.27 Ghz server can probably do 10 players at max. And it will probably be unlikely to hold up towards the endgame.

Thx for the advise. Ill see if we can tweak the cpu clock. Its actually sad to lower this to 10 players.

Btw, has mentioned we have 2 core. Is there a way to make the game accept both instead of only one. Just curious if that would make the prob go away.

Whosat · November 2012

Unfortunately, the server software itself is not optimised to use multiple cores. At best, it will use 2 cores but that does not help the performance much. You are still limited to around 10 players.

Okay so the problem is fixed. We gonna buy a brand new box instead ( been 2 yrs we have that one ).

Btw i dont get how to change the Workshop Folder to put inside the same directory. Like i said i dont have the access to the "%APPDATA%" folder.

If possible any info on the commandline to add.

Seriously thx for your help Whosat.

<a href="http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns2/wiki/index.php/Dedicated_Server#Basic_Configuration" target="_blank">http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns2/wiki/inde...c_Configuration</a>

The command line option is -modstorage

Specify a full path surrounded in quotes :)

Sko0b · November 2012

thx but i dont know how to set the new folder cuz i dont have the actual path of the hdd. could u gimme a hibt how to set it. like -modstorage "/ns2/ModfolderX/"

the only thing i got access its the folder from filezilla the location goes like this "/68.7X.5X.X2 port 2X088/ns2"

thx again

Whosat · November 2012

I'm not entirely sure if relative paths work, could you try doing just that? -modstorage "mods"

Create a folder "mod" in your server directory and then the ns2/ directory and download a mod (specify -mod). See if it downloads to either of those directories.

Hi, im sorry for the delay, i got school and stuff, Btw im 24 ... study Industrial mechanic's. So tonight i will give a try so for now i set the webadmin like this.
We actually use Gamecp (Control Panel) For the Server rental service.

<img src="http://i50.tinypic.com/zwakwp.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" />

If you suggest me adding more options in the GamePanel im in for. But the most important now is the Mod folder. :D Thx

Whosat · November 2012

Yup you could try that.

All the command line arguments are listed here. If you are providing server rental services, I suggest you make available all command line options:

<a href="http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns2/wiki/index.php/Dedicated_Server#Basic_Configuration" target="_blank">http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns2/wiki/inde...c_Configuration</a>

Also, -webpassword -webuser -webport will be useless if -webadmin is not specified. You will also want to include -webdomain at minimum if you're providing -webadmin access :)

Alos, -name needs to be surrounded in quotes.

Whosat · November 2012

ns2stats? You need to follow the configuration instructions they provide on your My Servers page.
