How many pilots can be in an Server?

[kanna]

Hi guys, im back, and want know one thing;

With this version ( 1. 0. 8 ), changes was did in online mode...
So i have, one question...
How is the MAX number of pilots we could have for a Stable Server? Still 8/9 pilotos?

Parameters of Conection:
Down 1Mb / 258Kb Upload
Down 10Mb/ 1Mb Upload

For a better server/increase number pilots, we need to enable , or disable this option -> USAR UN PROCESSO PARA CADA JOGADOR?

Thx! Miss All!

Hi! Nice to have such an extraordinary driver like you back in MRO.

With my 320 kB/s upload speed, there can be up to 8 or 9 drivers in my games - more than that would certainly cause lag. But having good upload speeds is fundamental for servers, so if you have a higher upload speed, you might be able to play as a host for more than 9 people. It would also help if the drivers have good connections themselves, ofc.

As for whether you should activate having a process for each player, it depends on your computer - that option was introduced a short time ago and it's supposed to improve online gaming, but if you don't have a powerful processor, it might slow the game down. I don't think that having it on or off has a huge influence on onlime gaming, but having it on should help.

I hope this has been helpful. If you need anything else, just let me know.

The online in the 8.0.2 seems worst that older versions like the 0.99.

In the 0.99 I have been server with 12 drivers without lag and in rally-tracks, which have more complications because of his weith. My connection wasn´t nothing especial.

I think lag depends more of the quality of the connections of the players than the number of them. Last week I can´t race in a game with only 2 more drivers. A lot of lag with only 3 players and in the other group there was no lag and the number of drivers was 7.

Maybe there are more probabilities of lag with more players because obviously its easier to find a player with lag in a game with 15 players that in a game with 2. The same is more easy to find a player with blond hair in a game with 15 players than in a game with 2.

I don't think that it only has to do with the clients' connections. If there's massive lag and all the cars are "flying", it isn't a client's fault - it's the server's. Of course, if a client has lots of lag, online gaming will go worse, but a single guy's lag shouldn't cause the performance to go down a lot.

Sí Pio, pero nada de lo que dices va en contra de lo que yo he dicho. Las ideas que yo expuse son:

1) Con un buen server una partida podía aguantar sin lag a 12 o más pilotos en versiones como la 0.99 (en esta, con DRS y kers, no puedo asegurarlo...).
2) Con un mal server una partida puede no aguantar a dos pilotos.
3) Un buen server no impide que haya gente con lag, debido a que hay pilotos que tienen malas conexiones o que corren con otros programas abiertos (alguien me reconoció en una partida reciente que al tiempo de jugar se estaba bajando una peli...).
4) Existe mayor posibilidad de que haya manifestaciones de lag en una partida con 15 jugadores que en una de 3 ya solo por el hecho de que hay más probabilidades de que haya lagueros en la partida de 15, lo mismo que hay también más probabilidades de que haya más jugadores que tengan el pelo rubio en una partida de 15 que en la 3.
