Server requirements

[Harvester]

I'm trying to set up a server for myself and a friend to play deathmatch on. I have created a 'source dedicated server' and then done 'find server' when in deathmatch which has found it ok. The problem I have is that the physics run awfuly slow (objects stop in mid air and then move again). I have a 1MB ADSL connection (256K upload). I am expecting too much to be able to run a server with this connection? I am assuming it is the connection that is the problem as the single player game runs a treat. Thanks.

I bet it's your upload stream that is hurting you. How many people are you trying to have on the server at once? I mean it looks like your system specs are good enough.

I would think in order to have a good 16-person dedicated server you'd need at least 512kbps upload stream.

edit: just noticed you're playing with only 2 people. I would think your upload stream would be good enough for that. Dunno.

You should be fine with just two people. Your system is also adequate.
