Hello !
Am I the only one that like running UT99 on my old machines, with various low specs (K6/PII/PIII, Voodoo 1/2/3 , old Geforces...etc) ?
When I do , I am always sad that I cannot really play offline because:
- Most bro on the normal world play with nowadays machines (and stil use low settings to have 1000000 fps !)
- A lot of server has heavy Mutators, too heavy for a K6 (even SmartScoreBoard is heavy)
- Server bandwith / tickrate is usually set for high-end network PC (65t/s, 25kbps ++), which also stresses our old machines
- Some Mutators /Maps uses Textures that crash on Voodoo 2 (texture size...)
This is why I decided to create a Server for this exact purpose !
To join: 5.196.92.222:5090
Or search for: Vogons SubGHZ DM [By ChaCha]
I literally just released it, and I will continue updating it untill it become a nice place for our old machines.
I need feedbacks please ! With any kind of machine (old, mid, new...), and OS.
Current State:
- Vanilla Maps/Weapons, DM gametype
- Good old MapVote
- NewNet for a better gameplay (might remove it later if it impact performances)
- Tick is like in old days (20), so is ClientRate (5000)
- Support most Skins / Bonus Pack
- Double Jump
- Recent machines are not blocked, they are force to run like an old one (or probably worst : ) )
Known issues:
- First download of content might stall, just reconnect
- In case of missmatch, clear your UT99 cache
- Machine performance measurement might not be perfect, I need feedbacks to make it a real "subGHz" server
Planned Features:
- Themed opening Panel + Sound
- Maybe a better ScoreBoard but only if it's light and close to the original one (to have coutry flags at least)
- Make this server only running at certain planned time, to increase chance of meeting peoples
