Want to build a small dedicated DCS server

[Marcq]

Maximum 4 clients, I have this machine that as been collecting dust for quite a while and was wondering if I could use it as a server for DCS

 

AMD A10-6700 Quad-core 3.7 GHZ

1 Tb hard drive

CD-Rom/RW

Asus wireless Ethernet

8 Gig of ram

 

Would it be powerful enough?

 

Thanks, Marc..

8 GB of RAM isn't sufficient for a client much less a server.

I ask because of that quote on a topic related to that

 

I know it might be usefull for those whose want to use that unused computer as host:

 

I run DCS ful up-to-date (05/2017) on A standard Win7 X64, 4G Ram, 512Mb Graphic card, DirectX 9, Celeron 2 Duo, with 16 players slots with no problems! I restart server each 12 hours to assure it's funcioning because DCS likes to fill up memory with trashes.

 

Doing theses steps u'll not need DX11 to host!

 

Download and run this from my drive, safe and virus free, but you might check!

1 - click in the "Edit List" button and add "DCS.exe", not the updater, please.

2 - On "Mute Category" group, check "Application Defined" only

3 - On "Device Settings" group:

3A - Check "Force Warp"

3B - Change Feature Level Limit to 11.

 

Apply > Ok and now you can Host ya DCS in a 386 computer! Hhahaa

 

Just to add, i'm using the "Autoexec.cfg" too, so old computer will not have problems!

 

It will takes time to open DCS, will takes time to load mission, but soon as mission is loaded will work robust as those "gringo" servers!

 

Check my server working: - rvotri something -

You guys might get an High IP, since i host in Brazil, but for people here the highest ping is 90.

I run the Dedicated Server that DCS released a few months ago, on this machine:

 

 

so, yours should work fine ... but connect it to your home network using ethernet .. do not use WiFi as its real bandwidth and latency isnt good enough.

Thanks a bunch

OK, here is the thread where there are instructions for setting up the dedicated server version of DCS:

i think you’d be surprised by how much you can do with a dedicated server.
