[96888] New: New MP bandwidth control algorithm available through commandline option -bandwidthAlg=2

* this commandline option enables different algorithm for MP bw, which may help resolve issues described in original ticket https://dev-heaven.net/issues/27001#change-144636

+ several other crash fixes (presumably)

Spoiler:

suggested to be used for server hosting as it shall be noticeably stabler
(if you still get any crashes, it's very important for us to get server's mdmp,bidmp,rpt files
(compressed e.g. to Dwarden's email (which is his nickname @ bistudio.com)with subject CRASH)

BattlEye compatibility: ... BE Supported, enjoy ...

bandwidthAlg ?

Anyone know what this does and what the options are?

These beta's are coming thick and fast now - I can just about keep up! Excellent stuff.

I assume this is a copy/paste gone wrong, or are we supposed to send crash dumps to you?

Battleye isn't supported yet - those that want it for their server need to wait a bit.

Thanks - so I guess that this is for those servers with high player counts that were having player connection problems. I'll try it anyway just in case it has an adverse effect on servers that hardly anyone visits ;-)

I knew I should have removed that part instead of spoilering it.

Edited accordingly.
