[Terrordog]

What's your connection speed, and quit being such an annoyin' little kid.

[Terrordog]

does connection speed mather when u play on your own server ?

No, I think he was under the impression that you were playing with other people AND a bunch of bots

[Terrordog]

yes thats the idea,but i'm testing the maps (waypoints) and bot strenght by hosting my serverthen joining in but the bots laglike i said..and then when somebody enters he would play and have fun until he notice the bots lag and leaves...

Okay, first of all there's this sexy button above your posts:

It's really useful, go ahead and try it next time instead of replying more or less pointless messages when you are the last user to post in the thread.

Okay, on to your question.

Is that the specs of your server computer? Also, do you play on the same computer as that one? Your graphic card doesn't really matter at all if you only have a dedicated server running, the thing that pulls the train to the biggest part is the processor. So, what model and how fast is it?

You tell me you have 2 GB of... I assume you mean RAM memory. That should be sufficient... again, disk space doesn't matter really in this case.

If you however play on the same computer as your server you are practically bound to lag down the actual server. Other people have the same problem you say, that means that the lag bit is either in your server computer being to busy and slowing down the dedicated server process. How fast is your connection speed, up and down?

Edit: four people got ahead of me here, so please excuse me if I repeat any questions.

[Terrordog]

yes its the same computer,like i said when i do it via soldat i dont get any lag...i  putted 30 zombie bots (the max) and i had no lag (only shocking lag) but the choking lag is normal for 30bots but really if i host it whit the dedicated 10+ bots the bots lag not me or the players only the bots like when ibot trows a nade u see it fly after 5 seconds but its already trown,also bots that run  past u then reapear infront of me inthere real bot form want me to make a demo about it and post it just ask me and il do it

if u ask me its a dedicated server bug...

[Toumaz]

No, it's because you run two actual Soldat related programs at the same time. When you do it via Soldat it is slightly faster because it doesn't have to do a bit of a detour between the client and the server.

And I'd like to know fast your processor is.

[Terrordog]

then why have other people the same problem

Date Posted: January 04, 2007, 10:04:13 AMmy procesor speed is 2.80ghz

Date Posted: January 04, 2007, 10:05:43 AMheres a demo http://dl8.ohshare.com/v/2980790/demo3.sdm.html
sorry but i wasnt in the mood for pressing the button

what IP are you using to join the game?

[Toumaz]

then why have other people the same problem

Because you are lagging down the actual server yourself, and the players connected to the server experiences this too. Try hosting once without playing on the same computer.

Your processor should be sufficient... any programs running in the background? Anti-virus?

i hosted a climb server some time and when i joined at my dynamic ip (needed because i have a router) same i use now to join my game it never lagged  the climb server y climb server never lagegd once not even when limewire shareaza and batlefield 2142 where running in the background i'm telling you it got nothing to do whit ma computer,nor me joining the game...if you saw the demo you should see the bots and see what the problem is

Date Posted: January 04, 2007, 12:58:45 PMlike i said nothing is rong when hosting a server on the soldat game itself only on dedicated and i have no idea what's cousing it...

When you're joining your own server:
- If it is on the same computer, join via the IP 127.0.0.1
- If it is another computer on your network, join via your local network's IP for that computer.

Using your dynamic IP assigned by your ISP to join a computer with a lot of bots causes every single piece of data from your server to go out to your ISP and then back, causing the lag you're seeing because you're trying to run a server that needs more bandwidth than you have.  Joining your own server using one of the two solutions above will cause everything to be handled locally.  The first one is better than the second.

2 words... sh!T computer, get a new 1 mate

2 words... useless post.

Do you play in network mode?
If you want to play with others, try to hold the number of bots low, your pc has to send the information of the other bots on your pc, that increases lag.

I'm locking this because:
1) Terrordog got banned for being a **** to admins
2) this is turning into just spam and it isn't helping anyone.
