Heh, enjoy this happy time as long as you can, D, cuz the rid starts for me after these holidays.

Same question, how huge is the number, freelancer can theoretically handle?

I think its a good idea, since where getting alot of new members comeing through, when it got up to 65 the same night we had about 63 or 4 members online at one point.

Good going guys:)

I've seen servers with 150 IIRC... I'm not sure if FLserver has some hardcoded limit, but I'd bet once you start getting up there the load would increase exponentially (or w/e).

I could put the number up to 128 when i started the FLserver.exe, but no doubt this can be edited or changed by a program, much like everything else.

Limits could be due to the variable size. 128, 256, 65535, etc.

its possible to raise the server to like, 50000, but:

1 The server would go at 1 FPS when its full.
2 Its really hard to code it.

Servers running perfectly so far, now I can actually get in.:)

Thanks.

Large fight in Alpha this afternoon...

7-10 fighters I think all in the same system shooting at each other. I didn't get a chance to see how many people were on the server, but it was a lot.

The lag was manageable, 2 or 3 times we had yellow or red. I experienced 2 'hiccups.' After an extended fight the server crashed or went off line with no warning, not sure.

I caution everyone not to judge the performance of the server purely on what the gameplay is like for those of us with top-rate systems. My system is showing it's age these days so I'd appreciate some conservativism when looking at how many slots to open.

Yeah there was a bit lag for some people... My wingman Die-Hard got dropped from the server and had extreme lag at the time of the fight, while I got none or sometimes a little yellow lag... But nothing to write about back home...

I think the server is doing quiet good:)
