o.k. gurus, got one for ya, I'm trying to setup a FDS and am having some lag issues and a low kbps. I have rented a VPS machine, have loaded nothing but renegadeFDM, brenbot <the latest> and a small IRC client. Clean install is only getting about 20-30 kbps in it. The sever.ini is set to the optimun settings that I have read here, and have even compaired it to another servers settings.
The speed on the machine is 7.4 MBps upstream and Down.

BandwidthUp = 1500000

i have set this to 0 - what you see now and all numbers in between.

NetUpdateRate = 30

any ideas? Thanks.

With how many players? If there's only a few players, then 20-30 kbps is perfectly normal. The more action, the more the kbps will go up.
What kind of lag do you experience? Is SFPS and ping stable?

well, i figured it would be about 24 players to start, nothing much. I have experienced a few "warps" but I guess i was benchmarking the wrong thing. If I understand correctly the kbps will only go higher if there is more of a demand from more players?
The SFPS and Ping seem good, ping seems to hover around 130 for me, not too bad. FSPS is 60, FPS is 60 .....
maybe I need to work on getting the ping down?

If NUR is maxed (so 30), there's nothing you can do to work on ping. A VPS is usually not too great at handling game servers all together either because it shares performance between different users, while RenFDS needs all the CPU it can get.

Yea vps suck for hosting game servers. There are so many factors that can cause lag on a game server that's on a vps "shares performance between different users". Even if the vps meets 10x times over the requirements to run the server. I would recommend getting a dedicated server but if you don't have the money just deal with the lag  . I run a renegade server on a vps and it's the worst thing ever lol.
