PoleCat Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Yes that is correct. Out http://www.104thphoenix.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renato71 Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 @PoleCat & Grizzly - thanks :) Additional question: Anyone ever tried to run on rack VPS? I mean, I dunno what kind of GPU options or setting they have. Are there any rack server that can offer GPU support trough VPS? (if I put my question correctly). I'm selling MiG-21 activation key.

PoleCat Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 (edited) Found this after a quick search...... "Q. Which can be used as good game server, is it VPS or a Dedicated Server? Ans :- We do not recommend using a VPS as a game server since memory and CPU allocations for a VPS are far lesser as compared to a physical dedicated server. You can try out one of VPS Hosting plans for 1 month to see if it supports games. We generally do not recommend a VPS to be used as a Game Server as most of the games are big on resources, which will dramatically slow down the server, which in turn would not be worth the money you would save."

Azrayen Posted April 25, 2010 Author Share Posted April 25, 2010 Hello Nice to see that this topic seems useful for many people :) Thanks to all dedicated admin/users for their tips :) I just tried (who never try never succeed) to launch simulator.exe (multiplayer game) on "my" server : I confirm an onboard graphic chipset doesn't make it : Faulting application simulator.exe, version 1.0.2.0, faulting module DXRenderer.dll, version 0.0.0.0, fault address 0x0002c007. Too bad, we succeeded with FC1 on the same hardware (PIV @ 3Ghz, 2 GB RAM, S3 ProSavage graphic chipset with 32MB shared RAM). Well, let's continue to search for a better hardware, whithin our limited finantial ressources...:vertag: Cheers, Az' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xjikz Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Hi Azrayen, I had the same problem when installing the game on my laptop, it has an Intel GMA (i don't remember which one) built-in graphic card and after I downloaded the most recent version, I managed to make the game work without any error. (Finally I unistalled it because it was too laggy, even in the editor...:music_whistling:) Proud to be a [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] :joystick::pilotfly::book: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azrayen Posted May 1, 2010 Author Share Posted May 1, 2010 (edited) @ Xjikz : Thanks, will try that. [edit] it works ! Thanks ! (and what a dumb one I'm for not having though of that... :doh:) [edit2] well, it runs, but it doesn't really works. Too low performances, game isn't usable (even from the client's PoV). Back to new hardware studies... @ Fudd : The problem isn't about the card price, it's about the price for a server with 100Mb/s & with a graphic card ;) Edited May 1, 2010 by Azrayen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h00t74 Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Don;t waste your time with Art of War Cetral. They say they can run Flaming Cliffs 2.0 but it can;t and they will not refund any money. Learn from my mistakes to save your cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Learn from my mistakes to save your cash. LOL yea stay away from Art of War servers, I got a IL-2 Sturmovik running there, funny thing is I sent them all the details how to set it up since they had no idea..even with the data I had to explain further to set it up. Finally got it running was great once it was done..but tech support was not much to desire..so I cancelled server...:thumbup: If you wish to use a server provider then I suggest " Branzone Server's "( http://www.branzone.com/ ) pricer but tech support is outstanding I have been with them since 07, with BF2 Servers' Edited May 2, 2010 by Bearitall www.virtualtuskegeeairmen.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
