Exocet Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Hi, I want a reasonably priced server to host h24 missions we do with my mates. I found one and I find the price rather reasonable and cpu seems to me correct. Do you think this is enough, and how many people? thank you https://www.datashack.net/cart/?id=145
Monstera Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 The thing that sucks about DCS hosting is there is no dedicated servers(Servers that don't need the game to be running to host.) Hopefully we get this after EDGE. For hosting currently you will need a system with a GFX card capable of running the game enough to get in and launch a server.

Hopefully we get this after EDGE. For hosting currently you will need a system with a GFX card capable of running the game enough to get in and launch a server. Although - while I've never tried this - it's my understanding that you can disable 3D rendering on the server, which basically leaves you with black screens in game, on the server computer. See here: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=1165393 Of course, you can't play on such an installation, but it works fine as a multi-player host, and this drastically reduces the horsepower of the graphics card needed. Looking at the server profile you showed, you have a Linux OS, and you'll need Windows to run DCS, which pretty much doubles your cost. Edited January 21, 2015 by Vedexent
zaelu Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 I have an unattended PC in my home country with a C2D at 3GHz CPU and 4GB ram, UPS power supply and 2 parents to restart it in case of complete failure :D. 3D render disabled, Servman 3.0 on it and TeamViewer for remote access. It has good internet connection (half of gigabit). It works rather well... for me is a dedicated enough server :) .

Exocet Posted January 21, 2015 Author Posted January 21, 2015 Thank you for your answers, Actually I was told that the 3D can be disabled. The OS is by default on linux, but you can choose: "none setupe temporary KVM and i will install OS" for $ 0 It is the ability to install our OS, right? How? zaelu, how many people can join your server without bug?
goestrip Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 i think the only graphical requierment for the server is to be able to open a DX9 context. so basicaly, any crappy not so recent gpu. But as mentionned above, 3D render need to be disabled in settings
zaelu Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 zaelu, how many people can join your server without bug? We didn't have massive meetings... bellow 10 persons I think was maximum. Usually 3-4 people. We had some connection problems but they were very strange... like at some point we were 6 people, 2 from Romania (where the server is hosted) and the rest France, Netherlands, Canada and UK... the 2 guys from Romania had a lot connection time outs.

Exocet Posted January 29, 2015 Author Posted January 29, 2015 (edited) ok zaelu, i remember no romanian on my server :D Dedibox Classic 2015 https://console.online.net/fr/order/server what you thikn of e1220v2? http://ark.intel.com/products/65734/Intel-Xeon-Processor-E3-1220-v2-8M-Cache-3_10-GHz 8mo cache in L3, and 1mo in L1 pr l2. its important?

Exocet Posted January 6, 2016 Author Posted January 6, 2016 Hey! I'm back with a new server shearch :D I find that! https://www.online.net/fr/serveur-dedie/dedibox-xc What do you think about cpu?
blaueente Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 There is still no GPU. Without something that can render in DX11, DCS won't even start. GPU embedded in CPU is enough. We found a relative 'cheap' solution at http://www.hetzner.de in the Auctions Section. Be patient and it will get cheaper. Don't forget that you will need to rent WinOS which adds to the price.
Exocet Posted January 6, 2016 Author Posted January 6, 2016 mhh, but, dcs dont need Gpu if i disable graphic, no? My mate have this: https://www.online.net/fr/serveur-dedie/dedibox-classic And no gpu too :huh:
blaueente Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 (edited) it needs a gpu. 3drender=false just disable the ingame rendering, not the need for a dx11 gpu. Is ur mate running dcs on that machine ? if so there is the possibility that they stick some sort of gpu in these machines and dont list it. Edited January 6, 2016 by blaueente
Ciribob Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 mhh, but, dcs dont need Gpu if i disable graphic, no? My mate have this: https://www.online.net/fr/serveur-dedie/dedibox-classic And no gpu too :huh: Are you (or your friend) running DCS World 1.5 or 2.0 on this box as a server with render3D = false? Which server online is it? If so i'll definitely sign up for this. I was under the impression 1.5 / 2.0 requires some sort of DX 11 GPU otherwise it just wont start.
