Dedicated Server Bandwidth

[Anyder]

Ok, so the other day i was testing in 1.0 the servers bandwidth thing, and i saw that people was less lagged on a server with 2Mb Bandwidth (with 45 TPS) than on one with 3Mb+ (with 45 TPS).
What would u guys advise me to use ? Oo

[Kit Fisto]

Perhaps they were just physically closer to where the server is at.

Example: In SWBFII I get better ping if I'm playing on a server hosted in California opposed to a server in New York.

[Anyder]

ehm, no, they didnt move from their home xD
1 is belgian, another 1 from France, 2 guys from Russia and the last guy german.
Im still waiting for the bandwidth recommendation Oo

[Phobos]

what do you mean bandwidth? are you referring to
/throttle 2048 (or 3072)

or something else?

[Anyder]

yeah i mean that

[Phobos]

idk which one is more or less laggy. i use 3072. ask Led for more info about it.

[Anyder]

thats the one i used, but 2048 seems better for some reason Oo

[Phobos]

yea idk but led said that it only set a max bandwidth cap per client so in theory 3072 should lag less? idk

[Led]

The dedicated server help file says that the throttle is just a cap to the bandwidth.

You would want to cap the bandwidth to keep from using too much MB data transfer during a game.

Maybe we can set up a test server with a very low throttle and a very high one to examine the differences--but you would need several people on at the same time to notice anything.

[Anyder]

yeah, that would be ok, but how many people on ? 6 people ?

[Anyder]

ok, i tested this, and the best thing is the host with 3 Mb ( 3072 )
