Hosting DCS at Server 2012 R2 -- extreme lagging, rubberband effect

[HiJack]

We have a OpenBeta version running that will be used tonight.

Look for server: *** TAW.NET OpenBeta public ***

Hi folks,

we are running a newly configured Server for DCS World Multiplayer (9JG27). The idea behind it is to give the best flying experience in multiplayer.

 

The hardware is really "good":

 

• Xeon® CPU E3-1225 v3 @ 3.20GHz, 3200 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s)
  
• RAM: 32.0 GB
  
• Intel HD P4600
  
• LAN: Intel I217-LM
  
• 500 GB SSD Drive
  
• Internetconnection guaranteed 200Mbit (1000Mbit uplink)
  
• Operating System: Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard
  

Watching the load @cpu @lan @ram we can say that the server is nearly idle when running DCS. So in our opinion it cannot be the hardware.

 

 

 

CPU load 7%, Ram 15%, Network: 2Mbit downstream / minimal upstream.

 

The ping to the players was very low (from 30ms to 90ms), but the lagging, rubberband effect was massive. It was unplayable.

 

 

Any ideas, tips / hints are welcome.

 

 

@ED-Support: Might it be the OS?

 

 

Thanks in advance!

 

Doesn't look like you are finding solution...

 

Talk to the more educated and experienced technicians at your ISP's help line or personally go speak to technicians in the field.

 

Befriend your local public library PC guru IT guy; pick brains. My local college also has an IT department.

 

There is a quite knowledgeable guy here, username Skuzzy, that oversees the IT end of things:

Good luck.

well, hard to test if nobody uses the beta versions...there are a handfull servers online, and i just hosted one for like 3hours, and except me and my teammate, only one other guy joined...so not much to test....hope the ED Testers and ED themselves tested already :)

 

but if that works, then thats definitely something to look forward to.

 

 

You had the best WWII server up a week or two ago; I could see the enemy aircraft way out, way beyond what DoW offers. Been wondering where your server went. Was betting you changed your ISP.

 

I use the DCS open beta server, but few servers are offered when I am on. When I am on, Europe is asleep except for the occasional night owl.
