TonyE -> RE: H3 ANW MP - which version is best? (2/20/2007 5:34:14 PM)

Ralf, 3.7.1 is the only version to definitely avoid for multiplayer. I've posted some tips in http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=1370689 and more importantly These applies thru 3.8.0 RC6 - Disable MP Logging in harpoon3.ini at the server to have the game run faster and not make potentially gigabyte sized log files
- Run each instance of the server on a single CPU core, use task manager or a program like setaffinity. This may apply on the client side too but I've yet to personally see multi-processor affect the client piece.
- The server is more tolerant of players signing into it one by one instead of everyone hitting the connect button at the same moment.
- The smaller the scenario the better to prevent the server from being loaded down enough that it cannot respond to the players before the connection timeout.
