Arma2 server performance! (Cores, basic.cfg)

[m0dg0d 1]

Hello,

My server's vps drops down when around 30 players are in there..

while its only using %19 cpu usage,

Server specs:

100 Mbit connection

dual xeon E3-1240 V2 Processor. (4cores)

6GB ram (Which is more then enough)

Could anyone give me an good Basic.cfg by this server setup?

Also how do i run my arma2server on 4 cores instead of 1 or 2? I heard many problems with this..

(Im using ubuntu server)

Thanks,

m0d

You can't. None of us can. That's the problem.

The main server / script engine will run one core at 100% the whole time and AFAIK only some of the AI processing will be threaded off onto a 2nd core which will then fluctuate in % util. Cores 3 and 4 will do nothing (or you can run a 2nd server off them).

Arma 2 is all about pure single core performance. So if you have the option to disable hyperthreading on that E3 go for it.

set arma to 2 cores, get i7 with overclock to 4ghz + that is the only way to make it work faster.
