Update - 06/07/2015: 70 player slots

[joR]

Why hello there guys!

You might be aware from @Fredy's update post earlier in the week. The server has been upgraded: https://perpheads.com/threads/new-server.8835/. In result of this, we thought it might be a good idea to see how the server would manage with 10 extra players on the server, so as of today the server is now up to 70 slots. However this may not be permanent, we want to make sure that it doesn't make a significant impact on performance. We'll be posting back on this thread tonight on the verdict if we'll be keeping it or not!
​

Have a good one!

Can still have FPS issues, although pings are no longer problems

Excellent, our younger people should be starting to arrive on the server.

I hope that the server can handle such a change and whether improvements can be made in the future.

Awesome! I hate it when the server is full, and now there is more chance that there is a slot free.

The fact is you won't be the only one thinking that atleast 10 more and the server will still be full

WTF. I said last night a comment saying "Can we raise the player count?" on the new server post and then this happens and I get no credit?!

Dear diary, i think my computer is going to explode under my hands

 

[John Daymon]

I had 50 fps as lowest, Ping; 130 Players; 70/70

Dear diary, it seems like the 70 slot update helped the server somehow

When server was 60/60 my ping on good days 150-160ms. FPS at intersection 8-24
When server upgraded 70/70 ping 100-130ms. FPS at intersection with tones of police cars and stuff 24-40 FPS

There's been a increase in fps and better ping what is this magic

Same here, was getting about 45fps with 70 players, before I got 32 with 60. Strange

Some FPS help, use the commands one by one in console, or bind them.
