seether7 Posted July 22, 2002 Share Posted July 22, 2002 You want a 16player ffa server and u have 128kbps upload speed? Well ur gonna be in for a VERY laggy ride. As for the maxrate, pfft, does it really matter? It's gonna be laggy as hell anyway! About 2000 maybe, 1000 if you use the formula, but as MatrixCPA says, he doubts it's set in bytes. I doubt u will be able to host more than 6 players, If that even. For this i'd try the maxrate around 4000 and 5000 and see what max players works best.

TKMaim Posted July 22, 2002 Share Posted July 22, 2002 16 with a 128k will not be fun. I run a 12 with a 768k up and once the 7th person connects the pings jump into the high 300's, which is unusable. I'll be limiting mine to 6 people later today.... I can run 4 to 6 people comfortably, but hopefully my bandwidth will be doubled in the next few weeks, then I should be able to get by with 12.

Jah Warrior Posted August 3, 2002 Share Posted August 3, 2002 i get 8 players running fine by setting maxrate at 3000, no lag issues atall, and that is with a 128kbps connection too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
