I tried to use my Acer 4062LCi as a game server for the games Unreal and Unreal Tournament for some LAN fun. The game runs OK on the machine(if a little slow) but when I try to run a dedicated server it stuffs up !! You can see the server on the LAN but when you join, the server is slow, and misses updates (like UDP packets are lost or not sent). When you jerkily move forward the server resets your position back to where you started. Sometimes the weapons don't appear!!
When playing the game, watching CPU usage the machine hits 100% but when running a server it reads 8-15%. Does this mean anything?
You can run an Unreal server on a P120 so why not on my laptop? Any ideas? Is the CPU throttling back even on mains? Is there a bottleneck CPU/NIC/RAM? Are there any settings I haven't thought of?
Turn off any speedstep equivalent your laptop might have.

And that's probably why UTIII was a relative flop. New game, same sh*thead players ^^.
OK my CPU is running at full speed according to the Intel prog I downloaded but this doesn't solve the problem. Works great as a listening server but not as a dedicated.
Its like the CPU wont run the game...dunno what to do
