What do uou think (I don't speak German but from what I understood you have large X6). Good deal if you ask me but simple to set up?

Interceptor Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 really simple. You only have to install drivers for the HD4200 and Teamviewer/VNC. (RDP works also, but need some tweaks) Take a look at http://serverboerse.de/en/, should be more cheaply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pikey Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Hi, there's a conflicting setting in step 6 vs 8 where you set fullscreen in autoexec then set windowed later. The fullscreen in autoexec persists in multiplayer but not singleplayer. As we are dealing with multiplayer i set the step 6 autoconfig to false for fullscreen to get the server running in windowed mode. My question is, from a dedcated server standpoint, is this consuming more resource or not? I've noticed in fullscreen alt tabbing will crash the server. This was my main motivation for changing the OP's recommendations. ___________________________________________________________________________ SIMPLE SCENERY SAVING * SIMPLE GROUP SAVING * SIMPLE STATIC SAVING * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

undertheradar Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Is there a newer guide for 1.5.4? I followed these steps as closely as possible (it said to edit network.cfg and options.lua but those files did not exist in that directory, I had to create them) but the game crashes on launch. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pikey Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 (edited) They still exist in that directory as of today. Though you dont need to set option 7 and I think the gfx setting is reasonably redundant you can just launch the game and set windowed and smallest res. If you cannot launch the game sounds like an install issue. Is there a newer guide for 1.5.4?

BaD CrC Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Is there a need today (end of 2016) to have a "powerful" computer for a home server in order to host max 8-12 players? I am asking since my MS Surface Pro 4 tablet today can run DCS, so isn't a mid-range CPU with a low end DX11 graphic card sufficient? https://www.blacksharkden.com http://discord.gg/blacksharkden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blaueente Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Test it... Maybe it runs well... maybe it is unplayable. I think the CPU is the most limiting factor, beside the RAM. Our Server runs well on an i7 3770 and 16gb ram. 1.5 and 2.0 in parallel with mediocre busy missions. Mfg Ente Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milopapa Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 I have the same issue - DCS crashing on launch, something DirectX. I'm accessing the server through RDP. Why does a dedicated server need to launch the game anyway? There should be a standalone EXE for dedicated server mode. *sigh* ED?

ENO Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 A little late on the answer here but is it safe to assume you're running a DX 11 compatible graphics card?

Milopapa Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 That's exactly my point, why would I even need a video card for a dedicated server? I'm accessing it through RDP. I guess there is no CLI server, right?

ENO Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Don't know what RDP or CLI is. But whatever is running the game NEEDS a DX11 graphics card capability.

ViFF Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 (edited) Don't know what RDP or CLI is. But whatever is running the game NEEDS a DX11 graphics card capability. Hi, Sorry for late input on this but RDP = Windows built in REMOTE DESKTOP CONNECTION and yes, we are able to manipulate the menu using the RDP. We do have a graphic card on our root server, its an old 4GB NVIDIA GTX 550 Ti but it gets the job done without problems since there's only minimal graphics involved. S!

Ghostrider142 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 For a small group of guys who are somewhat new to the world of DCS, and after recently getting everything needed to play, we were pretty disheartened to find that we now need to set up our own server to play missions or campaigns together, in 2017. So now were are looking at getting a 2nd computer just to play with each other? Is there a virtual server option for the US that others use? Also is there a thorough tutorial for setting this up on Youtube perhaps? i7-4770K @3.50GHz; EVGA 1070 8GB Superclocked; 16GB Ram; MSI Z97 Gaming; two Samsung 500GB SSD's in RAID; TrackIR; 32" 2560x1440 Samsung Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also is there a thorough tutorial for setting this up on Youtube perhaps? Just use an old computer that one of you upgraded from. You can also set up Teamspeak or other servers for your group on the same machine. Set it up in a basement or a corner of your house where you won't mind (preferable on a wired connection to your router) - make sure you do port-forwarding.

Wizard1393 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 that we now need to set up our own server to play missions or campaigns together Just to clarify, you don't HAVE to set up a dedicated server computer. One of you can just host the session. The only reason to have a dedicated server is that none of your gaming rigs have to do the AI computing, scripting and whatnot, meaning better FPS for the computer who would otherwise host the game. If you're not planning on running large missions with loads of AI units and heavy missions scripts, you'll be fine without it.

Pikey Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Depending on mission, a single decent host can comfortably fit 8 connected players.

rvotri Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 I know it might be usefull for those whose want to use that unused computer as host: I run DCS ful up-to-date (05/2017) on A standard Win7 X64, 4G Ram, 512Mb Graphic card, DirectX 9, Celeron 2 Duo, with 16 players slots with no problems! I restart server each 12 hours to assure it's funcioning because DCS likes to fill up memory with trashes. Doing theses steps u'll not need DX11 to host! Download and run this from my drive, safe and virus free, but you might check! https://1drv.ms/u/s!AGp0qp4RitCgg4xU 1 - click in the "Edit List" button and add "DCS.exe", not the updater, please. 2 - On "Mute Category" group, check "Application Defined" only 3 - On "Device Settings" group: 3A - Check "Force Warp" 3B - Change Feature Level Limit to 11. Apply > Ok and now you can Host ya DCS in a 386 computer! Hhahaa Just to add, i'm using the "Autoexec.cfg" too, so old computer will not have problems! It will takes time to open DCS, will takes time to load mission, but soon as mission is loaded will work robust as those "gringo" servers! Check my server working: - rvotri something - You guys might get an High IP, since i host in Brazil, but for people here the highest ping is 90. Who cares...
