Server in Europe?

#1 That sounds like a cable modem. Joe and I both often host 2 servers each on cable modem and get good performance. Playing on a cable modem server isn't as good as the Homelan servers, but not much worse.

Once you get a build, it would be great if you could host a European server. I have a feeling a few will start popping up soon.

#2 I'm also in europe, and I also have a good server here, like >5Mb/s. I can certainly host a game and not be noticed ! :-)

I just need a linux server.

The game is pretty much unplayable at these hours for us european folks; the tanks blinks in/out, teleport a few meters off etc etc.

#3 I assume people know that they can run dedicated servers on the Mac, just follow the instructions in ded_server.txt and ded_server_mac.txt... You could probably set up an old G3 233 w/OSX and it'd serve just fine...

#4 I don't want to use a mac, I have a linux machine that is on a much better pipe than my DSL.

And yeah, I think I'll restrain from playing due to lag. It makes a HUGE difference in score depending on the current latency. Some matches I win with like 10 goals, and some others a few hours later I end up with zero goals, just a bunch of very frustrating kisses with rocks and obstacles.

#5 The linux version of the game will be out very soon and we will work with registered users who want to run servers (and this is not limited to Europe). Send us an email info@bravetree.com.

#6 Sent a mail a few days ago, got no answers...

#7 Sorry about that, been swamped... I will get to it today..

#8 Thanks, it's up and running now

#9 There is also a dedicated server in Germany running now on our linux server... the connection is pretty fast, although the machine isn't that strong (1400 Mhz, 256MB) ... but so far performance seems to be great :) - and I get a ping below 80 (compared to around 200-300 for the US servers).
(it's listed as "Beffy's Server (GER)")...
Thanks to John and Joe for helping me out in IRC!
have fun! ;)

#10 I want to start a dedicated server on Mac OS X.
It will not be on too often, but still....

Please help!

How do I set up the game to be a dedicated server?

#11 Martin, if you downloaded version 1.02 of the game, there are some instructions for dedicated servers on the mac in the readme. If they are not adequate, send an email to support@bravetree.com. Thanks.
