So for a hundred players you need at least 3.2Mbps of upload. Also this needs to be real, sustainable bandwidth. I know that some cable providers give you a little boost for the first few minutes of heavy usage but will eventually throttle it back down. Also [tinfoil hat] I suspect they may artificially prioritize popular speed test sites. For cpu usage, it's number of bricks * number of players. 100 players with ~5000 bricks is probably no problem, but 100 players with 100k bricks is basically impossible. --- End quote --- |

Anyways, CPU usage, after you calculate it what does that equal to, in what percentage? |

I was not able to max out a 2.4GHz CPU with 151 players, bumped up to only 75% (for a single core) of maximum usage. |

Wow I have a CPU with 3.4ghz that's great. I can easily run BL a large server, thanks everyone! |
