Huh.
Wireless? It cannot be that, well, I think.
If what he says is true ( 2.90 MBpS Up ), changing his internet to better internet will not change things.
Here smy server SPECS :
--------
Processor : Pentium III 866Mhz @ 1001 Mhz
Speed : 5.1 MBpS Down ; 900 KBpS Up
Mem : SDRAM PCI 133 MHz @ 154 MHz ( CAS 3T ; RAS 2T ; CAS2RAS 3T)
----------
He has better SPECS than me, however, im not even lagging a bit. People on my server have all low pings whithout laggs. My server is a 16 slots... & im sure I could host another 8 slots. And finally, Im running it on Winblows XP Pro.
To have no laggs, ppl need a good upload, not dling. And he has a real better uploading than me!
Maybe theres something with Wireless, like that b/c its in the "air" data transfers take more time to join his computer...
I don't know if it'll work with a Cable / Optic Fiber interbet connection, but the hardware i have now very suck comparated to his. PENTIUM III !!!!!! OMG
And I have the proof it doesnt lagg because my father doesnt want me to host a server at his home, but my mother doesnt care. So at my mother's house, I sometimes run the server on the PIII for a week and go to my fatheres house & play CS on my server with his Athlon 64.
Try hosting your server on Linux (huh if you know at least what iit is), so we could see. b4 i was hostring my server on Slackware (im still, but not often).
! AT LEAST IT CANNOT BE YOUR SEMPRON !
Edit : OMG I forgot something!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If your on Windows, set the PRIORITY TO HIGH for HLDS.EXE
OMG OMG OMG its that.
Heres a lil batch script.
Code:
@echo off
%systemdrive%
SET HLDSPATH=***Write where is located hlds.exe here***
cd %HLDSPATH%
SET OPTIONS=***WRITE the HLDS startup options here e.g. -console -maxplayers 16 -port 27015***
start /HIGH hlds.exe %OPTIONS%
echo HLDS.exe started...
Copy this code in a TXT file like then rename the extension to BAT
like : openhlds.txt * **---> openhlds.bat
IF you were using the GUI mode before, dont take it.
Write these options to the SET OPTIONS line : -console -maxplayers <numbers of maxplayers> -port <server port> -game <game e.g. cstrike> -map <starting map>
***YOU MUST usu the -map <map> argument or hlds will crash.
Oh and : If your HLDS.EXE is NOT located on C: ( hda1 ) , remove %systemdrive% and write the drive letter like D: ( e.g. hda2 , hdb1 ) ...
Try it, it did that for me too, I remember. Then I wrote a kill script to kill some progs + a script to set priority to high. Its not in C, but it helps.
Heres my lil batch :
Code:
@echo off
D:
rem Do you see? I cannot use %systemdrive% because my HLDS path isnt on C: , but on D: .
@echo off
echo *** KILLING RUNNING PROCESSES TO AVOID LAGGS... Please wait. ***
echo.
@echo on
taskkill /F /FI "IMAGENAME eq WRSSSDK.exe" /T

I did it when I had nothing to do
, so thats why its so big lol. But the one I wrote you will work.
