I recently turned my old tower into a server. It has a 1.5 ghz p4 processor, 768 mb of ram, 100 fps, and a 2600KB upload speed.
I set the max players to 24 and started a game. It works fine when I play, but once we got up to 6 players in the server, people started complaining about lag. Now I know this isn't the best thing to run a server on, but shouldn't it be able to handle more than 6 players without lagging? Is it because the tick rate is at 33, or someone using up all the bandwidth, or is this tower just not good enough to run a server?
