Re:A couple notes. (Score 1)

I don't run UT Retail on a Linux box as a client, but as 3 dedicated servers. I have a total of 36 connections which is well below what we allow our Q2 and Q3 servers. Running a PII 400/256M the main issue I have is merely the CPU and the lack of all available "nice", whence these servers are running - even with as few as 12 total players connected across all three servers. Q2 and Q3 both are at least 50% more efficient. I am going to attempt an experiment this coming week if I can wrangle a couple more IP addresses out of our tight fisted engineering group. I am hoping there will be some relief if not in CPU usage, certainly the seemingly overcrowding at the door on the ethernet ports - even though it is 100BaseT, and the Max Peak throughput is 2 Mbit/s. I am thinking that the timing of packet tx and rx are more critical on multilevel servers, as the inprovements in CPU processing from the game core is less and less likely. I LOVE UT, but I completely refuse to convert my Server to NT just to run it. This would create many more problems than it would ever solve, making note of how poorly it performs everything else compared to Linux - I may have to educe the number of levels running to 2!
