What's wrong with my dedicated server?

[stevea]

I have a dedicated JK2 server setup on a P3 550 with 512MB RAM and a 66 Kilo Byte/second upload speed. The server uses the jk2Ded.exe file I downloaded separately, and I'm running the latest patch.

 

I have configured it to serve up to 5 players, with a maximum rate setting of 10000. Even when I have 2 players connected (one of which is me on my 100mbit LAN connection), we both experience bad lag spikes.

 

What is the problem? Either the JK2 dedicated server really sucks, or there is a configuration setting I am missing.

 

Anyone have any ideas?

 

Thanks.

There's a known issue with a combination of LAN and net players on a server causing lag. Try just letting net players join and see if it lags then. As far as resolving it, I know that the sv_maxrate isn't applied to those connected by LAN. Offhand, I can't recall if the client rate is utilized during LAN play either. You might try setting your client rate to 10000 or less (if you haven't already).

Try Setting the maxrate to 5000, and see how that is.... for me I have 768 Kbs download, and 176Kbs upload, though it is just supposed to be 128,... Charter let me slide some.. and for me I can have 8 people on my server, but I have my cfg file set to 7000...another thing is the Machine acting as the server... being a 550 is good, and the amount of RAM is awesome.. but usually a higher CPU speed with the same Bandwidth yields better results.. I guess cause it's able to handle more data? I don't know, I just host and play the game:)
