Hey is there any way we can contact GameServers to update their base FF files? Once 2.1 comes out I plan to do a reinstallation of the :e0: Community, Identity, Stability |FastDLs| Server. To help possibly improve lag issues that have recently begun to happen.

Your fastDL shouldn't effect your game server performance. People DL the files from your fastDL site which is usually on a different server than your game server.
If I remember right we got your working a couple months back and that is in fact the case.

See fast downloads improve loading times by being able to let the client download from a regular web server instead of trickle DL from your game server.

enter a support ticket with a tracert to your game server be prepared for them to blame it all on recent changes you made (even if none) or your admin program.

Lastly good luck have patience with them.

Well there are some possible reasons as to why it might be lagging now.

Gameservers, to begin with, don't run the greatest boxes out there. Their servers are pretty outdated in technology and when they clutter their boxes with hundreds of servers, it's gonna get messy. Think of it as an elevator filling up with more and more people. But hey, that's what you get for a cheap servers.

I'd recommend www.myinternetservices.com for your next purchase. They may be as cheap (in fact, cheaper since their pubs cost the same as their privs, .95 a slot) but at least they offer some decent servers. Most importantly, they don't clutter them like Gameservers does.

1) Most companies will install a 3rd part mod if you ask (and the company actualy cares about you a as a customer)
2) They offer Dedicated Servers... which is always the best way to go.

However I've never used or heard of them before. I have a bunch of servers I use, none which I pay for

'Course with a dedicated box and proper access, you could make servers for any game you wanted, do anything you wanted to them, add a website, storage space, forums, whatever... it's your box. You get freedom.

I started off with full access to server boxes and built all the game servers for my college from the ground up. After that, I like the full freedom. You can also host multiple servers and different game servers.

The GoodFellas was a gameservers server. We recently took it down and we're in the process of going with myinternetservices. All you have to do is contact them for a special request.

Ours costs $129... We're able to run 3 source servers, one hl1 server, mysql, teamspeak, and a few other programs and things are pretty good. We're considering upgrading though.

Yo Nuke, in Sept I'll have access to a 24/24 line. If you want a ded server I can hook you up for less then youd get elsewhere. Send me a message on Steam later.

Can we please take any beta server discussions to the beta forums.

This topic is about updating his dedicated server and what would be best for that.

Edit: Fuck I need more sleep wrong thread. But it should go to the beta forums if it's about the beta server.
