Well as directed by our ACO... I burnt, with the assistance of Major_Wiz... the midnight oil and got the server working...
It has the same settings as when on the other machine... but I am not done tweaking under the hood... priority was to get it working.. so that we could play on it.
I tested it last night... my ping fluctuated from 125-160... but I had no lag issues. The play was as smooth at 160 on that machine as I get with pings around 60 over here...
It looks smooth enough to play without problems so far.
I'm used to playing RvS/S4 with pings in the 90-190ms range as reported by the games ping times. As long as it doesn't go up to like >250ms I'm usually fine lag wise with my pings.
In BF2 I play on US,UK and German servers and normally have no lag problems, unless they auto-kick me for a ping of 160 lol.
I'll need to update my favorites list in the server browser and xfire, at least now I can go back to Join Via IP hehe.
The servers appeared to crash this afternoon. Worrying on day 1!!
The reason for this, was not a crash. The machine had to be turned off for a short while, for the datacentre to install a new graphics card on our rack.
All is now very groovy again.
Well, now I get a taste of what its like to be on "the Other Side of the Pond".
My ping went from 31 to 125-150....
every so often I get a lag spike, but I guess its the "TAL Thing"
(TransAtlanticLag) :?
Yay!
Ping testet earlyer, and then it was 45. This is a lovely day, cant wait to get home from work...
And guys, as Acmed says: donation, donation donation....

I'm the farthest away from this server, and on the Command Prompt, it says I have 0% packet loss. (Sent 4, Recieved 4).
Ahh, this is good news. I'm looking forward to log on TG1 later tonight.
hmmm, guess it will be hard to get a spot....
Ambu
Oh yeah, im looking forward to that ping.
How long do we have our old TG1?
Cool.
Where exactly is this server located?
)
(I'm too lazy to install VisualRoute and figure it out by myself, at the moment
Snipe, if i remember correctly..your ping was about 150 when we did the initial research into buying this machine.
The server is located in London, UK

I would just like to congratulate GCHQ with a GREAT job.
Good work guys![Biggrin](https://sasclan.org/sites/all/modules/smiley/packs/kolobok/biggrin.gif)
Yeah, my ping was decent, haven't tried it in-game though, but it should still be fine. Good news for all you guys on the East Coast and Europe.
A little ping from my file server here:

I wonder if I still have a ping of 1000 (dang firewall)... off to check at some point.

Hey, if it's enough extra lag that my FPS rate doesn't drop.... I'm a happy camper![Wink](https://sasclan.org/sites/all/modules/smiley/packs/kolobok/wink.gif)
Yep..WIZ got tired of the TAL joke after 3 years..he brought the servers to this side of the pond...spin those tables Major
