Dedicated server slow

by Quentin Headen · in Torque Game Engine · 08/02/2008 (6:10 pm) · 1 replies

Hello everyone! I have a server that has ubuntu 8.04 on it. I have successfully installed Torque 1.5.2 on it and I was able to run a dedicated game from the server. The server isn't tip top on hardware, and because of that it runs a little slow when dedicated game is running. Since it runs slow, when I try to connect to my game from my windows computer, the pings time out. It pings it 5 times. Is there a way I can speed up the linux version of TGE for this? Seems like I have heard of some parameter called -desleep. I don't know if that will do it, but please let me know how to fix this problem.

Thanks. :)

I think this is not the server being slow, but Ubuntu's IPv6 that makes dns queries delayed for some reason. You should try to strip IPv6 from the distribution overall, or try another linux distro to see how that performs before looking into the Torque source.
