Hello DayZ forum, im in a bit of a predicament as of this past couple weeks. I have rented a server from gameservers.com (free advertising) they boast that there servers dont lag, but see my location is in Kuwait, and most servers in and around my region only host exteremely popular games like Counterstrike and Minecraft. The server that i rented is stationed in the UK, its a laggfest on average i get 260 ping across many servers on Dayz. Pretty soon the devs plan to remap the way servers handle data which means its not going to be the ususal first shots first win that it is now. let me get to the point and stop blabering about tidbits of information i have soaked up. I have a laggy clan server, i dont plan on keeping it running with this long range lag (from Kuwait to UK) i dont mind shelling out a dedicated server and learning to manage it if it mean i can rid the middle east of DayZ lag, im very inquisitive and detailed, so what are your tips and tricks to getting this done that includes contacting the necessary people once its up and running. i plan on running a small server no bigger than a desktop, smaller if possible, just enough to hold 30-40 slots. and i plan on maintaining it to run all the games the clan plays on. ill be reading up on it some more information i just hope to get the stepping stones from here. Edit: Just so you know, its a public clan server, not a private clan server. the clan in itself is also public anyone can join [sCG] SilentClanGaming. its a stealthfan Clan open to all how like to sneaky sneaky, feel free to join our steam group and our clan server, we recruit a wide range of play styles (Lone wolf, Bandits, Heroes) we also have a team speak server all info is on our steam group. SCG is one big clan that can be broken up into small squads of players, my group plays as heroes you are free to play any way you want and band with anyone in SCG the server is there to allow players an opportunity to meet and play a certain way.
