connection??

i'm a little curious because this is a huge problem with actual scct, so my question is: what will be the online system ???
well actually, scct is working with some host system and the problem is that if the host lags, everyone lags.. i dont know the actual capacity of ubi.com servers but sometimes, it looks overloaded.
my idea would be games hosted by PS server. For example: People only choose settings and server hosts the game for them, so there wont be any firewall problems (like i personally have..), if there is any lag, it will be same for everyone, there wont be any "host kills" and if the "host" tries to kick everyone or just leave in-game, other ppl won't be affected.

There are limited things you can do with a mod and not spending any money, this would be outside those things you can do.

i know but, if you consider selling the game, it could be possible, right? And btw, if, you want to get a server over UT, u'll have to pay anyways

[frvge]

I have a game hosting company (where do you think this site is running at ;) k... currently a private server, but still...). So server is very cheap to free for PS. It's still a good point. But I'll be supplying the Master Servers in different datacenters / networks and maybe a few Official Dedicated servers.

A dedicated server that can support 2 or 3 games(12 players) simulateneously?

[frvge]

Uh yeah.

[NaFnB_OnE_Jo]

cool cuz it would b weird:
-hey guys PS is done! all maps r done, modelling, maping, texturing is done, the engine works everything is perfect!!!
-hey dude.... we cant play online, someone forgot to make servers

=)

still, i'm curious: to get a nice server, u would need someting like a T3, wich cost like eh.. 10 000$ a month or so, you would need a few powerhouse comps (like 5000$ each) to run everything and also some surge protection (if you dont want your servers to b like WoW private ones (down 25% of time)) (if ur whole system gets around 10 000W, wich is probable,  something like 5 000$ or 10 000$),

if u consider getin an external server, it may cost you like 40 000$/month, so if you calculate, depending on what u will need, this may be a hard choice to make
well.... thinking of it, u will need more then just computer pros =) u'll need some finance manager or someting like this, idk w.e
this is confusing =O

Uh, I co-manage 10 servers which are in a datacenter in Amsterdam. 100Mbps uplink to the backbone of our network provider, which is currently 12Gbps, soon 30.

Some pics I took like 1 week ago when doing cable management:

Mouse is of my own company.

Some info is at the Close-up picture.

I ran UT2003 with 299 malcolm bots at Mouse although it wasnt playable because of lag. But the CPU could handle it.
Opteron 146 Dual Core FTW. If I get some more customers, I'll buy a better one. This one is meant as webserver and temporary gameserver till I get the money rolling ;) If you're interested (but you should be willing to pay a price ;)) contact me. K, enough advertising.  ::) ;D

[Overstatement]

So can we come to a conclusion? Will you provide servers free or low enough for someone to pay for?

[frvge]

If we have a dedicated server executable, others can host their own servers.

[NaFnB_OnE_Jo]

nice servers =p

[LiVe.To.Di3]

yea lolz idk if i would pay for servers if they were more then 10 dollars :D

[LiVe.To.Di3]

but it would be nice to see that other people arent lagging because i never do

[The-Chicken6]

I agree this is an inportant point, because UBI's servers are not good enought and many people are lagging. If you wanna become better then SCCT u wil need to fix that point.

BTW, frvge are u dutch to? or just hosting a server in Amsterdam :-*
