Pop into my server and see how you ping: connect OoksServer.no-ip.info
It's an 18 player OP4 server running on an AMD Sempron 2400+ (1.7GHz I think). When I start to push past 12-14 players, cpu usage climbs and fps drops, but seems to remain playable. One day I'll move it to a box with a little more cpu, but for now it does what I want it to :) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rick Payton" <[email protected]> To: "Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, May 20, 2009 3:01 PM Subject: Re: [hlds] Top Cheating Features Bypassing VAC?(wasVoogrucheaterplugin) > The ping from here isn't that bad actually, at least not to me.
