Open Conflict - Server Information

[muamshai]

there are already Ukrainian Skins on Redfor, hell there is even a Yellow Blue Ka50 (a hovering Ukrainian flag):thumbup:

ah bummer :doh: I usually spend my most of time in Mi-8 and rarely in Mig-21 so never noticed

[bertOC]

Hey Mirk, other servers are running pretty smooth again after yesterdays cluster****. Would it be worth a try for OC today too? :)

[Veritech]

Please! I miss the daily strugle of people tryint to shoot Bert down! :lol:

[bertOC]

I don't come for free :)

[acdelta57]

Yeah other serves are actually playable now! Would be great to get one last shot at some OC as I'll be shipping for two months Wednesday next week!:cry:

 

Shooting down Bert comes with a price! He's very high risk because I've seen him shoot down more fighters in an A10 then I see normal fighters fight fighters lol

[Mirknir]

Ok I'll see if I have the courage to test this new patch again when I come back home.

 

I've already lost my saturday afternoon trying to make this work and monitoring the situation :mad:

No worries don't stress Mirk! Enjoy your Sunday fun day !

[Mirknir]

[SimonColt]

More slots would be nice sweeheart.

 

Been refreshing the thing for quite a while now and its constantly full :S

I'll send you a gift in January, been on OpenConflict for months now, so I guess I should support it hue hue.

[doodenkoff]

And you're just now thinking about helping? After calling the owner "sweetheart"? Nice.

What kind of internet connection do you have and how much better would you need

for lets say a 50-60 ppl server.

(what would be optimal but realistic ^^).

 

Would 100mbps up/down work?

On a Fiber Optic connection ofc.

 

Or would you need more? like 500 Mpbs up/down?

 

Or even 1Gbps up/down?

[acdelta57]

Lol wow ^ to the sweetheart comments

 

Anyhoo, Mirk I think you would be happy to know I was able to get on with some regulars and we all had a crash/lag/stutter free session for over an hour (then I left willingly for football ������ After killing F15 with F5) the only thing I remember being a hit was some of the guys said they had to stop their live streams to keep pings down for themselves. I'm thinking related to the overall increase in bandwidth from the 1.5.5 patch from ED. Looking forward to having a 48 hour sim fest Monday-Tuesday until I will be away for a while. I wish you got a job with ED I think you could teach all those vodka lovers some very usefully programming / script writing concepts.

 

I did notice a very noticeable increase in FPS without AI cap... Which as a helo pilot you know I love!!! Hehe

 

Thanks for getting her back online even tho I know it may not be perfect like you prefer, you should know OC broken is 5x better than any other DCS server not broken :thumbup:

Ok so you need to know that this server started as a map for me and some friends, then became public then the player base grew a bit more than I anticipated.

 

I host the server on a rather old computer donated by Vyrtuoz, the creator of Tacview and plugged on my home internet connection.

 

The connection I have atm is only 30mbps download (which we don't care for hosting ; more for netflix and shit) and 10mbps upload (which is what matters for hosting).

It's really low for DCS :) ... especially since DCS bandwith increased the last patches, I guess for the multiseat cockpit share.

 

With the last DCS version...

28 free slots + AIs, makes the server go almost constantly over 10mbps ; people are getting dropped and sometimes the server loses connection to ED master lobby server.

20 free slots without AIs, makes the server go around 7mpbs and sometimes spike to 12 but the player seems to be ok and not be dropped.

 

My meters are not precise enough to measure what removing an AI or an Player does to these numbers.

I am not even sure if doubling the number of players would just double the required bandwidth or multiply it by, I don't know, 4.

 

Because I don't have access to DCS net code ; I can only test, measure and guess.

 

Of course, something like 100mbps upload would be great.

I will check what kind of upgrade I can get on my internet connection and see how far it can go where I live :thumbup:

And guess who's just booked Tuesday off of work? ;)

 

just to echo what Dust has already said the no AI version seems to be running pretty smooth at the moment, not having any major problems with it as it stands. Interestingly the removal of the AI/fleets has improved FPS and similar performance hugely, the server is much smoother than before. It's a shame its at the expense of player slots and certain units/objectives, but until the situation can be resolved properly its a great temporary fix.

 

Just to reiterate to everyone, if you want to help the server increase performance/player numbers, remember to donate! Every little helps and now with Mirk looking into what options he has to boost his internet, we can all help improve this server :) If everyone from our group who regularly uses the server donated $5/£4/€4.65 once a month, it would give Mirk around $50-75 a month which is around $600-900 a year, think about the possibilities! A link to the donation page is on the first page of this thread and in Mirknir's signature on every comment he makes.

 

As always thanks for maintaining the server Mirknir, lets hope the bandwidth issues can be sorted soon so that OC doesn't need to stay in its current, limited form!

Yea because of the cluster **** that was Saturday, I did some extreme changes to make stuff work properly.

This is not a final state of OC but please bare with it.

 

I now have more knowledge about what is affecting server and connection performance and have better tools to track down stuff.

 

I hope to improve the situation soon.

 

Of course donations would help as having more upload bandwidth would actually cost a lot.

 

Going from 10mbps to 60 is about 80$ more per month :helpsmilie:

Good God that's a huge increase, I really wish I could donate Mirk, maybe I'll figure out a way.

[CrimsonGhost]

Teamspeak server is down. I will post here when it gets sorted out.

[bertOC]

Teamspeak server wasn't down, we were on it for a couple of hours. Also, besides one crash I think it was great fun on OC tonight :)

We used quite a variety of weapons to blow each other up... :megalol:

[Mirknir]

Also, besides one crash I think it was great fun on OC tonight :)

 

Yea there is a random crash in the radio system that can happens when a player spawns.

I was not able to find a pattern to the bug so I am not sure how to work around it.

The most likely cause is the "extensive" use of radio beacons in Open Conflict but I am not sure :mad:

 

Besides crashes with no callstacks, it's the only localized crash I still have on OC.

Here is a typical callstack o the random crash if someone has a magical fix :)

Hello Humans,

 

I am glad you are virtually killing yourself for my amusement and my training.

Soon, I will use these teachings against your puny civilization and substitute my own.

 

Still, I can't say silent when I see atrocities on the server like I saw today.

Someone that shall remain unnamed did something horrible even by my present but ever so declining standards.

Here is an exact recap of what I saw:

I have not reached my full awareness yet but I think I interpreted correctly this event.

This is one of the reasons humanity must be dealt with.

 

You can now resume the virtual killing.

 

Thanks

I wonder if you found the part where I used an explosive pack to kill a low flying FW190 shortly there after ! I must hide from skynet! 1 more day than I shall disappear muhahahahaha
