HO HO HA HA HE HE VERY FUNNY IT TIS TO LAUGH You would think we have enough problems as it is without doing something as stupid as running a 32 player or 40 player server with only 2.4KB/s allowed per client.
Its statments like that, which make you wonder just how much "TESTING" Valve actually do. A maxrate of 2.4KB/s is as about as dumb as a mp_roundlimit of 8 on a mp_timelimit 30 server! But hey, you keep swallowing every piece of BS that Valve feed you without question, whatever works for you. Because who am I to disuade you from your own stupidity? :) On Fri, 05 Nov 2004 22:59:10 +1000, Bruce Bahamut Andrews <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Whisper wrote: > > > > >HA HA HO HO HE HE > >VERY FUNNY > >IT TIS TO LAUGH > > > >On Fri, 5 Nov 2004 13:57:38 +1100, DarK <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > >>This is a multi-part message in MIME format. > >>-- > >>[ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] > >>Would someone be able to link me to some documentation of what specs are needed to > >>run a CS:S dedicated server on Windows 2000 server?
