noobish question

1meg = 300gb's (roughly)

[Todd Holley]

I am going off of my server statistics that I have been getting the whole time. My 20 man test server, when full running awe 1.4.4. Machine guns mobile turrents etc. Takes around .8 mbps.

 

 

edit: example: My dedicated server in dallas. When around 90 slots are being used I am using 4.5-5.0 mbps. According to the network tab of task manager.

[Daersun]

if thats average transferring the files may have bumped your numbers up quite a bit.

[Todd Holley]

I don't understand what that statement means.....transferring what files?.. Those are live statistics not averages.

[Daersun]

If your looking over a month - well you just set that server up, you could have downloaded the files @ 5mbps which would have inflated your numbers. I just cant believe that 1 server eats that much bandwidth. Unless its also your master server running your website/whatnot.

[Todd Holley]

It is my master server, with 0 people logged into game panel. You are correct i just set this up in Dallas. And I was testing it out. Set up 20 man, and a 64 man. With all mods. And it was 4.5-5 mbps. With both servers full. This is with maxrate set to 25,000. That reading (4.5-5.0 mbps) is based off of windows task manager. And is not averaged in any way. But before i deleted the datacenter (before i reinstalled windows server) it average like 2.0 mbps over the week. Since servers are empty about 1/4th of the day.

[Daersun]

I may be wrong, but I have personally never seen a production server hit the 2MBPS mark, but you never know

[Todd Holley]

And I am by no means trying to act smarter than you or call you a liar. But i will prntscrn when I get all my game servers back up. .... Do you have any suggestions.. This is off the subject, but i have done everything in my power to get my call of duty servers working. They started killing themselves 2 days ago and have been doing it ever since. I have done eerything, new game files, reinstalled control panel, reinstalled os and started everything from scratch and cod servers are still doing the same thing. I am out of ideas and my dedicated host says their server is fine.

[Daersun]

I dont trust the windows task manager for network speeds, ask your provider for mrtg graphs

[Todd Holley]

Here,

[Daersun]

Thats insane ive never seen numbers that high lol

[DougK94]

Jordan I have a 52 slot CoD2 alone on one server and my results look similar to those........

[Daersun]

This is why I dont like CoD2

[DougK94]

not to mention it was designed for xbox and ported over to PC....... Another whole can of worms......

[Todd Holley]

Yeah I will always simply stay with cod1 including UO. I am thinking of starting to host cs and css... which one is more popular?

[Daersun]

CS 1.6 has more players, but anyways, my prices dont change because games suck Let me know if your interested.

[Todd Holley]

Omg. I am very angry. At everything. I have reloaded the operating system twice reinstalled everything from scratch, twice. And put 3 differenty versions of game files... And it still is not working. AND I just got an email from teamspeak tellnig me i didn't properly register. So. My day is wonderful.... Doesn't it sound like my dedicated server is screwed up to you?... Softlayer continues to tell me their server is fine.

[Defcon|Rich]

Nobody said game hosting was easy..

 

I know quite a few folks over at softlayer and they have some smart techs so I'd be inclined to believe what they are telling you. What exactly is the issue your having?

[Todd Holley]

About every 20 minutes all of my call of duty servers will use half the amount of ram they normally use and basically render themselves useless. As people on the servers are kicked and noone else can connect. There is no reason for this and it started 4 days ago. I have reinstalled everything from scratch twice and am now on my third attempt. I am praing it will work correctly this time. Especially after 3 fresh installs of the os.

[Defcon|Rich]

Have you checked your game logs and windows event logs? I really doubt it's an OS issue especially after you reloaded 3 times.. I'd grab a fresh copy of the game and load a few up with default settings and see if you can replicate the problem then go from there.

[Todd Holley]

That is why i asked around for cod v. 1.3 game files available via ftp. But noone offered.

 

 

edit: And the problem happens every 20 minutes i don't have to make it happen. Softlayer checked the log files and said nothing was wrong.I checked cod files and saw nothing.

[DougK94]

Have you tried running the game from the command line, without TCA?

[Todd Holley]

Yes, I have 2 days ago. And something is wron with cod. But no one will give me an ftp with files on it. So I am forced to try other things.

Download a fresh copy from STEAM or Direct2Drive.com

[Todd Holley]

direct2drive= 1.5. Steam I have no idea how to use.

 

 

thanks for the suggestions
