My information.
Squirrel... I host a four player max dedicated server straight from my computer. I've already tested, and I can handle six without a problem... unless I am playing in-game and want everyone to have an optimized ping.

So I usually have the priority set to above normal or very high, with four players max, and join now & then. I have had it up for like thirty two hours straight now, one restart which took less than two minutes after the twenty-eighth hour...

Point being, we've had a server up for a lot of time recently, thanks to me :oldlol:

EDIT:
Forgot to mention, just now:
"JoMama" STEAM_0:1:4108969
"Drigien" STEAM_0:0:579659
- were playing on my server just now. Two noobies, obviously, since I don't recognize them.

Netrogor - The computer he's talking about hosting it with doesn't even run Ricochet.

I know from experience, a Pentium III 750Mhz 256MB can handle this game under the new patch with 4-6 players... Not WELL mind you, but it goes.

The new HLDS doesn't like Windows 98 Net, and Windows XP SP1 doesn't last very long on the internet these days. I'd format the sucker and start over with a fresh XP SP2 install, update it, and then disable everything you don't need in services.msc (Secure Center, Auto Updates, Background Not-So-Intelligent Services, Event Log, Task Schedueler, etc. etc).

If you have a copy of Win2k laying around, maybe use that instead, with basically the same procedure.

It might make a tolerable server then.

It's not actually his computer to modify. It's his parent's who wouldn't know if HLDS was running. So, he doesn't have the ability to downgrade, despite many attempts to convince them. I've thought about just making a virus that would convince them to downgrade >_>

Has he been permanently banned from the forums yet? Kind of annoying having to drag (on the 25th page) the scrolling bar for about ten seconds -_-

Albeit... Thanks For Ensuring that the BoU Forums Topic is rather large :D

Today I finally tried the new MS: C update and, of course, the Forgotten Outpost, and in the few hours that I played, I met five other Blades, and I've seen another two playing on different servers. Activity list for today:
- Ceriux
- J-M v2.5.5
- Jabba
- Jelly
- Marioeo / Mario / ITSaMEaMARIO!!!!
- Netrogor
- Orochi
- Rick

I still crap on everybody who says "LOL BLAEDZ ONLY HAZ 2 ACTIEV MEMBARS!!!1!" and you can probably understand why :mrgreen:
People like Jester, shove this up your ass!

I'll upload some guild pictures later tonight featuring Rick, Netrogor, Jabba and me.

And I never said that you only have 2, if you're directing that at me, just that you don't have 50 ;-)

@ Thothie's mentioning of WinXP setups
I already have SP2 installed, yay!
@ The activity issue for BoU
We have at least ten people who play each and every day on BoU. And no, not fifty... what is it J-M... like thirty or forty members (including inactives)?

Well the title of the thread says 52 :roll:

@ 26th page having no posts (and all other times it does this, and yes, I know why): YOUR THREAD IS MADE OF FAIL!!
