Hootman9104 Posted Monday at 06:21 PM Posted Monday at 06:21 PM After building a new PC over a year ago from scratch, I finally got around to scrubbing and cleaning my previous PC and setting it up as a stand alone server for my own use in lieu of creating a server on my main PC. I must say, so far I'm pretty happy going this route. I did some basic stuff, monitoring both PC's while running DCS Liberation FULL Iran war, and so far this is what I'm getting (basic stuff) GAME PC: 13900K 128G Ram RTX 4080 Super 30% CPU (2 cores of course bouncing around max use) 35% GPU Memory 39 Gig use avg Ethernet Send 100 Kbps, Receive 900 Kbps avg Server PC: 9900K 64G Ram RTX 3080 Ti 40% CPU (Cores not maxing) 2% GPU (no use of course) Memory 23 Gig use avg Ethernet Send 900 Kbps avg Receive 100 Kbps avg Overall, it seems to run great with a few occasional ethernet spikes that cause a momentary stutter. More important, watching the server timer, it seems to click along just fine now, ticking off about 2 seconds each time no problem. My previous issues when running the server on the same gaming PC were that the server would often lag and freeze. When it lagged, the server clock would stop sometimes for minutes, and then jump forward. and when it froze, of course that basically trashed the entire Liberation Mission. I've actually been able to run Liberation FULL Map campaings, right now I'm doing Iran. From what I gather, that's not recommended, but up until now I've been getting around the heavy load by modifying the generated missions and removing much of the unneeded armor and other units WAY behind the front at airbases, etc. that aren't involved. I did a test run last night with ALL units generated on a FULL map campaign in Iran, and the server seems to be ticking along just fine. So is this the general experience of others using dedicated servers? Do my numbers look pretty good, and are there any other tips/settings to use on that server PC? I'm actually going to also try to go ahead and load TACVIEW on that server, based on the numbers above, I think I should be ok to also run TACVIEW during the missions. Also, has anyone else tried running "Full Map" Liberation Campaigns, and what has been your experience doing so in this type of dedicated server setup?
