Not necessary. First, it takes few resources to run an Arma server. Your phone could run an Arma server easily. Second, it is usually the connection to the server that creates problems. Third, in the case of VPS, the amount of load is unpredictable over time, meaning a server could pass a stress test then fail it minutes later.Eckz wrote:There should definitely be some server testing prior to Ladle day, though. Strength testing as far as seeing what the limits of each server are. We then should take the necessary motions to make sure that those limits aren't passed to provide the best possible games for both teams.
Actually, we could allow 1 spectator and 2 subs, and just use a streaming program to transfer load on a player instead on a server.Eckz wrote:My point was to minimize crashes. How is stress testing not a valid way to do that? Or even try limiting client numbers so there aren't unnecessary spectators (I understand the point of spectators, but they also pull on the bandwidth, yes?). I'm suggesting that we try something.
Obviously I agree with server availability being an issue, but really there are servers with the ability to be used for ladle that aren't being used. Can't pickup servers be swapped out with Ladle settings? Most people who use those are playing Ladle anyways. Are those off-limits?
Speaking of, whatever happened to ladle streaming? Was pretty successful last time I checkedtakburger wrote:Actually, we could allow 1 spectator and 2 subs, and just use a streaming program to transfer load on a player instead on a server.Eckz wrote:My point was to minimize crashes.

I even pondered not putting it up this time, but then decided it only takes me 2 minutes or less to do.sinewav wrote:However, we are very lucky that kyle put up a Ladle server for us to use.
I am not sure that this would be the best way of wording it. To me that says they must play in a server than does not exist if they cannot agree.sinewav wrote:Later I would like to amend the rules to restate the above. There are no backup servers for opening rounds and teams must be in full agreement to switch servers in any round of play. If teams cannot agree, they must continue in the original server.
The server let me play in ladle, but some rounds I was out of commission. However, it's usualLight wrote:Anyone who played vs Redemption (except for CT in the finals), could I get some server feedback? First time hosting a Ladle server, so curious how it kept up. Mine was the drama server.
Matches Played: ww vs rd - unk vs rd - o/ vs rd
Grats to CT, and Rd.
I was thinking about this. I have permission to use Rx servers, and if I would have known about the issue when it was going on, I could have provided a server. I just don't put up the servers on there unless it's needed because I don't like to abuse his generosity.sinewav wrote:One possible solution is to come up with a way to easily transform any server into a Ladle server. Do do this we need more people with Administrative access across a broader range of servers. Then it is a simple matter of rincluding some kind of default/reset.cfg, then ladle.cfg, and finally ladle#_authorities.cfg.
