ATAG Dedicated Server is up!

[WilsonMG]

It wasn't my intent to bitch, just to point out what I see as the current shortfalls. I understand Bliss was only trying to make the mission better, and to give it more depth. However, even with my high end PC as well, the mission as it stands is nearly unplayable and I just wanted to alert him to that fact so he can do something to improve the situation before people wander off.

If nothing else I guess I can get off my duff and finally get the MG dedicated server running CoD. I was growing complacent because of how enjoyable the Syndicate server had been but with no other dedicated US servers that I know of...

Im with ya Wilson, the current settings defo are not optimised enough to be used i guess....if enough ppl say so i reckon things might get put back to a more playable level. btw i didnt get a delay loading tonite...the mission loaded straight away in under 1 minute. just the clouds issue for me

Wilson,

The old mission was put back up this morning. The test of the new one didn't go well. As far as the clouds they do give you a minor fps hit but make the sim 100 times better. 30 fps to 60 fps is not noticible with this sim.

I agree the heavy/medium clouds make the game "look" better but they sure as hell dont make it "feel" better. A 30% hit to my fps is very noticeable. Im just passing along what has been mentioned to me on the server and from my own experiences. Others mustnt get the same hit or dont seem to mind.

I played at around 0100 CST and found it to be MUCH improved. I actually enjoyed the new clouds and didn't see a performance hit at all.

It was the mission that was impacting my performance, not so much the config. I also loaded in slicker than snot like before.

Jed, you might take a look at your settings if you're still having issues after the mission changed back because it's like night and day for me.

Single figure FPS last night, no sound (first time that's happened to me) and had to give up after the third attempt. Around 24+ players on.

Could this have something to do with clouds/weather or custom skin download? Just guessing here as i haven't been online since last week when the previous mission was running, which was smooth with a similar amount of players.
