I was just wondering if it was possible to run a dedicated game server on one of your RaQ4i's? (Like CS)

If so, it would be very CPU intensive wouldn't it? (I really have no clue)

Check this out:

I have not done this myself, but looks like everything you need is on that link.

Hope that Helps!

Again, I have not done it, but we do have a few customers that are running game servers on their raqs. So it can be done.

After visiting the link provided I will say that it looks complete. If you do give it a try why don't you verify that the information provided is correct.

i've been trying to install a tribes 2 dedserver myself, in fact.

no luck.

i always get almost there... then hit this error:



Installation complete.
Continuing with install ...
No UI drivers available
Couldn't load 'atal'
The setup program seems to have failed on x86/glibc-2.1

Please contact Loki Technical Support at support@lokigames.com
The program returned an error code (1)


... and thats it. any help you admin people?

@#!@#!@#!@#!ed email notify.. I turned it off.. bah =

I'll ask our Games Administrator to pop in and read the thread, maybe he can offer some advise

Ty colo, would be very helpful

I have a dedicated Counter Strike server running on my Raq, it can be laggy at times (depends on players and there conenction etc) but overall its a hell of a deal for only 99 USD a month. CS is CPU intensive but the load averages never go above 1.4 or so on normal cirumstances.

If all you are running is a CS server then it should be fine. If you are trying to host a domain as well I would play with the maxplayers so that you can find what the limit would be so that you can reduce the amount of lag players would have.
