Any feedback on the new server? Do you feel it is better, worse, or notice no difference in France location?

The times I played, zero lag, absolutely no lag and it finally feels smooth but it was always with an average of 16 players. Not sure when it fills if the experience will be the same. Regarding regs it seems good but honestly I didn´t played that much. Overall it seems like it was 8, 10 years ago before the move to Netherlands.

Re: SiMPLE returns to roots

I do not understand your statement. Do you mean main server is better than before?

The server CPUs were not running at full speed, they were still in powersave mode. It should be better now.

It can be tricky to find a good server location, to my experience it is a bit like "you get what you pay for". Even with a dedicated server you are still sharing a network node with other server owners.
In the low budget segment that could mean that some are running torrents all night and day in full speed (kimsufi lol), and to the higher end it could be other thing like streaming services for instance. Often when a company have a sale going on the first thing a new server owner do is to check the performance of the new server and in that includes alot of checking network speed (on that shared network node) to different locations in the world and of course preferable as fast as possible.

I personally have downshifted as time go by as i dont really have any player base left (still love the game) but i like to root around with server files and learning new stuff (pesky Linux) its getting harder tho to find Linux distros that support this old game as many of them seem to drop 32bit support as it is outdated or something the like.

Im currently on a cheap one year contract (or two now) and sometimes i can find my server has been rebooted without warning for some (unexplained) reason or the other (lol smile ), once i had a outage that lasted for months and so then i decided to get another cheap "year" contract with another (shady?) provider witch have indeed worked alot better better, buut it seems they may have replaced there database in some hacker attack, witch inturn means all those emails got leaked and all of a suden i get a lot of weird spam mails, (why do hackers sign it to weird crypto sites with other peoples email?).
And so finally i have a somewhat decent little bf42 server for 24 players that is performing well most of the time (until it doesnt) and i can room around with that other first provider tryin out new distros and of course making loong and hard network testings to really test the performance of that network. wink

Re: SiMPLE returns to roots

As far as I know, hosting a server costs about 300 euros per year. Give or take.
