TF2 Test Instance

**BigHub** · 04-08-11, 02:54 PM

So, the test instance is up and running properly (or it should be).

Set the old server to have a password so nobody can join it, and also put the IP of the new server for the server name. Get the new one up and going.

So... what is this?

**BigHub** · 04-08-11, 10:44 PM

Everybody bitched and moaned about the server performance and wanted to go back to Dallas... So this is a test server to see if the grass is actually greener. So play on it and test it out.

**Zelmon** · 04-09-11, 12:16 AM

Didnt run a trace (dont know how) But the new server was excellent. Very smooth. So smooth in fact it was hard getting used to shots going where there were intended instead of hoped, lol. Also, only one or two weird moments of (mabye) lag in about 2 hours of play, and even then that might have just been on my side. Thumbs up!!!!
