    Re: New Server!!!

    Well I have done some research and I finally discovered the reason why my server lags.
    Why you may have lag when hosting Halo CE:

    I have written this article because I’m tired of people trying to host games with a low amount of upload. When hosting a game you need a good amount of bandwidth. A lot of people do not understand that yes you may have 3mbps download but you probably do not have much upload. A lot of internet providers offer huge amounts of download, but the amount of upload that comes with this service is usually quite poor. The average amount of upload that comes with an internet connection is between 128 - 384 kbps.
    There is a difference between upload and download. Download is information your pc receives from the internet and upload is information your pc sends out. There are places online that will allow you to test your internet speed for free and the links for those sites are listed below. I will also list the amount of people you can host with your upload. Please note that your download speed should be higher or the same as your upload.

    The amount of upload required (requirements for non-dedicated hosts):
    -128kbps or more can host - 4 people (3 recommended)
    -384kbps or more can host - 8 people
    -512kbps or more can host - 10 people
    -Greater than 768 - 16 people

    When hosting I recommend:
    -1.6ghz Processor
    -512mb of ram
    -Windows XP or 2000
    -Broadband Connection with good bandwidth

    I found this Source Here: http://www.forumplanet.com/haloplane...07&tid=1463498
    Well I tested my speed Here:

    My upload is 282 kb/s, so I am guessing that is why my server lags up. Archon23 was right when he said that it was a specific number of players. Well I tried the delagonator and that didn't work. So I am reducing my server so it can only host around 5-6 people. I'm sorry so if anyone knows a way to upgrade my upload connection. Then I can get it better. Well thats it for now.

    Re: New Server!!!

    Mine ends up being 1400 upload, 12k download.

    I tested it to the server listed in your speed test and my results were pretty telling. 170 upload 880 down. That is why you were having problems. You cant upload fast enough even to your own test server to make a reasonable go at hosting a large number. Even with mine, hosting 8-10 would be reaching the outer limits of my access.

    +rep to Archon for being right, and +rep for supersniper for trying, and not giving up.

    EDIT: I have to spread some rep first guys, so Ill get it to you as soon as I can.

    Keep the teams even. 6 would be okay, but would probably only be worthwhile for slayer.

    Could you send me the link to the program or tell the name of it? =o
    Update:
    I found a neat tool that helps optimize your internet connection. This program may improve your internet speed by a little. I gained 40kbps upload when I ran it. The program ,TCP Optimizer, can be found here: http://www.speedguide.net/downloads.php

    I changed my IP Address So here is the new one.
    69.216.114.236

    I found a new program that hosts Halo CE dedicated Servers. I found it here:http://forum.halomaps.org/index.cfm?...&topicID=10597

    It really works I am on my server right now. The maker claims that it has less lag so when someone else comes in the server I will see if it is true. That's all for now.

    Re: New Server!!!

    Hey supersniper! I should be back tommorow from China. I couldn't watch or even play on teh server because my laptop wont work for several reasons

    1. The screen messes up when logging in then shuts down.

    Here we run into a bit of a snag. The computer I'm using right now is my bud's windows 99 computer, which I cant use for Halo. So yeah, those are the reasons I havent been up.
