Friday Night Fights - TF2 Edition (now with Private Server)
CaffeinePowered \| 10:55 AM on 10.18.2007	20 comments

This Friday I will be setting up a TF2 server for everyone to play on. Server IP will be the same as the one I tested, 64.198.241.17:27015. Right now I don't have the server running but I should have it up tomorrow afternoon.

There will be 18 slots and I will set the password to 'dtoid'. Also, don't be turned of by the pings, they will likely be between 150 - 200 for most people. Unlike many of Valve's older games, the netcode has REALLY been improved and you won't notice any stuttering or lag, unless one of my house mates decides to torrent something huge...

I will not be able to join in, so if anyone would like the rcon password to admin, get a hold of me on the dtoid IRC channel. (#Destructoid @ gamesurege.net)

Just to Reiterate:
IP: 64.198.241.17:27015
Pass: dtoid

Location: Central Illinois
Relative Pings When Full - Midwest 75 - 100, East/West Coasters 150 - 200 depending on ISP

Enjoy :)

Now all I need is people to not leave me in the main chan on vent... That is pretty lame.

ShadowXOR

Well...I can't stand playing with anything over 100 ping generally. The game does have great lag compensation but it still doesn't feel quite the same. I'm definitely in for FNF but I'm not sure if I would join your server or not...

king3vbo

I will definitely try your server and see how it goes, I am totally down for an all Dtoid game of TF2

DeusPayne

100... really? I've been getting pings of around 4-9 on most dedicated servers.

CaffeinePowered

@DeusPayne Its because I'm running it off a residential connection, its fast and has the capacity for the server, just not the 25 megabit connection you see with most rental servers.

In the tests I ran last week despite the high pings when the server got full no one noticed any stuttering or failure of hits to register, so I wouldn't be worried about it.

vandamguy

where's the server physically located to land these projected ping numbers ?

in any case , on friday make sure to join the Destructoid steam groups chatroom

do this by opening your friends list

click on the V(down) arrow next to "destructoid" then "join group chat room"

all server arrangements will be handled there, instead of us trying to coordinate through comments in a cblog.

siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick

bhive01

Thanks for stepping up and providing the info. We'll be sure to link to this in tomorrow's FNF posts.

FrozenSpaceMonkey

Rent can wait...got to buy orange box when I get paid today.

Jordan Devore

Fuck yeah.

ConsFEARacy

I'll definitely be there man! As long as it doesn't fill up that is!

By the way, even though the ping was a little higher than normal, I can assure everyone else that there was NO lag in game when we all played on it the other day...

Yashoki

Why does caff have to provide a server? you guys are so mean. Everyone pitch in for a dedicated 100 person box ;_;

hypothetical

I'm there for some TF2 PC lovin'! Awesome of you to host, CaffeinePowered.

KamikazeTutor

KamikazeTutor

DrkAdonis

I'm really sad that I didn't get a chance to join in on the server this week, but next week I am so there. Picking up TOB tomorrow!

Nubc4kes

I'm definitely down for some TF2 action tonight. Probably not the whole night, just some of it.

TehBoognish
