We are having problems with our server because we have a higher ping and a lot of lag. Our machine has 4 cpu to use, It has said to me, but RO only is using half cpu to work.
Thanks

Server Can I force RO to work on multi cpu?
- Thread starter Pascualin
- Start date
Its not designed to use multi cpu mate, nor can it. If your server specs include multi cpu , I would have thought connections etc might be the problem. Post full specs and WHAT OTHER PROGS etc are running.

It's a server from a company, He has said me that this machine has four conections, and our game only using one of them. It's conecting the first the server find and using only half cpu (we have 2 cpus, i were mistaken before)

Ro doesn't support multithreading meaning if you have a dual core processor or more processors ro won't be able to utilize it. So you might aswell run 4 ro servers on it or 1 they will all perform thesame.
I really wish that it would be possible to create Dual CPU support someway for ro though. With 2 of the best quad cpu's (so basically 8 cores) maybe 64 players would be possible. And waiting for a single core to be strong enough for that will be like waiting for Duke Nukem Forever to come out.

The reason you are using only half the CPU is because HyperThreading is turned on. The only way to turn it off that I know of is through the BIOS which will require "remote hands on."
You could try asking your server provider to turn it off but something tells me they're not going to want to do it if they cannot physically do it themselves.

Server providing has said me that HyperThreading is turned off. Machine is a xeon with 4 cpus but they has said me the server is running quite well, it's fine. They have said me that if the game would need more capacity, it would use it by itself. But we have a brutal ping still. The problem with ping has show up when we have upgrade server from 20 to 30 slots. The server is running ok but the ping is too high.

It's running RO only, i can't say you specifications about machine because i don't know still. They said me is a powerfull machine.

LOL were they under oath when they said that? A powerful web hosting machine will still be a crappy multiplayer gaming machine.
Thing is mate we can't say for certain what your problem is unless we have specs.
The ping probs MAY be caused by the processor maxing out or they MAY be caused by a crap connection but without info its impossible to say.

Machine we are using is:
Intel(R)Xeon(R) CPU 5140 @ 2,33 Ghz 2,33 Ghz 2,00 GB RAM
Microsoft Window Server Standard Edition 2003 SP1
When i try to ping the machine out of game is:
"Microsoft Windows XP [Versi

Certainly processor power shouldn't be a problem, I'd be interested in knowing what the connection is.
Checking the usual suspects of connection capped rate, network card not set to full duplex etc etc would be a start.

i would rather checked if there are more processes - maybe www server, mail or ftp - this can lag.
also set to dowload updates to system when there is noone on server (like 7am)
besides i would rather run linux ;D

Yeah, good idea mate, run Linux ... after all its much easier to install, easier to mod and ALL linux systems run RO with no problems whatsoever
Don't get me wrong, I use Linux on a day to day basis, also Solaris 10, BUT it appears RO doesn't seem to like it as well as windoze. Also I can't see the point of running a rock solid and reliable system like Linux and then buggering about with a less than reliable cross over.
The point about other services running is well made though.

Laugh all you like mate, the fact is that it IS a reliable system, the problems occur (as always) when its 'fiddled about' with.
I mean, take the standard method of 'installing' MOHAA onto a Linux box as a server:
1 install onto a windows computer
2 copy entire directory onto Linux box
3 faff about with install till it works
Until software houses sort out PROPER Linux installs, not half arsed windoze port overs, there will continue to be problems.. the majority of which will be falsely ascribed to a problem with Linux.

I was just loling hearing someone telling that Linux is reliable and rock solid .. ...
Nor Linux, nor Windows, nor Mac OS is reliable and rock solid. The only OS's that I know that are somehow close to be reliable and rock solid are OS400 and BSD. but they are also not 100% rock solid... For personal use.. is enough.
The probs with Linux is that is not better or worst than WinSrv but there are way less business applications and is much more expensive to maintain...

linux pwns! nuff said
can one of the nice RO devs have a word with ryan "icculus" gordon about porting RO to linux
mmm SDL+openGL sexeh

OS/400, are you yoking? :SI was just loling hearing someone telling that Linux is reliable and rock solid ..

Well, they could add OpenGL Motion Blur...
But I think that the developers will only put effort in OpenGL once they know that Valve Corp. will have an official native Steam client for either Linux, Mac OS, or both.
At least, that's how I'd do it.
