We're going round in circles.

I know what dedicated software is, I'm looking for details here.

Q. Does the dedicated software, that I know is ready, include COOP capability
A. Yes, there is dedicated software

How is that helping, it is no answer, no matter what you think.
Are you a politician? if not you should think about it!

Even when linked to an Oleg statement, being told dedicated software will be included is not new news or goes anywhere near what I'm asking. We're on specifics now, not asking if there is dedicated software, whether it is ready yet or even if it will be released with the main game. We're asking about what it includes.

You're missing my point entirely.

THERE ARE NO DETAILS YET !!!1shift11eleven

because it's most certainly still being worked on for the reasons stated above and stated by Oleg in the given quote!

I will just take a guess and say that a good server will need 8gb Quad core setup 4mbit connection to be able to handle 128 players

More like 10 players.

4 kilobytes (32 kilobits) perplayer X 128 =512 Kilobytes X 8 (8 bits per byte) =4.096 megabits

I would doubt that 32 kb per player is enough for somewhat smooth gameplay, but we'll see.

Why do you calc 4 kilobytes (32 kilobits) per player X 128. ?

I thought it was 128 kilobits (16 kilobytes) per player upload.

Hi Merlin

Where did you get that info from. That is quite a lot of bandwidth for each player

I'm guessing from the official system req's:
Multiplay: Broadband connection with 128 kbps upstream or faster

That would mean 16mbit+ just for the incoming data for 128 server wich I don't think is that much.
Taken there's way more data to be transfered with sophisticated damage & flight models etc, than your "normal" multiplayer game.
Don't think anyone would want a server of that size on anything less than a 100mbit connection anyhow.

1946 says 64kbps per player upsteam and i use to run a dedicated server with 22 slots on a 768 upsteam connection from my home with no problem

i hope your wrong because the last time i checked a 100mbit connection at a data center was close to $500 a month...if you have something cheaper plz post a link

Which would be comfortable on datacenter hosted dedicated server.

Recommend a server host, if you're in the UK

are good

that amazing...every where arounf here (chicago) i am getting prices ($500 and up for 100mbit) so high and that does not even include a server
