No error, just claimed lag for others.

I have made my server run on more RAM
Only running Minecraft and the server on the comp.
Setting 6 proccesors to only focus on the server and setting priority to high, only leaving 2 processors to run mc.

None of the solutions apply to me.

Description:
I was attempting to make an open Hunger Games server for a map I have made, but due to lag, people could not play. I've heard that running the server on a different computer then your playing on helps, but ts that true?

 

Anyone?

 

im not an expert on these things but seeing as though no one will answer the question you might try not running minecraft on the same computer as your server, try another cpu! i kept having the [severe] message of the server lagging until i switched to another pc (one pc running the server and another pc running mc)

 

yea thats what everyone suggested, i just wanted to make sure so i can run the server well on the open server date.

should i run the server on the worse computer or on the better one?

It might be the internet speed ie: download speed / upload speed you may have the best specs but having the worst internet kinda defeats the porous

 

Yep, your upload bandwidth may be your limiting factor. Factor in about 250Kbps per player.

Also, I wouldn't set your initial java heap size (Xmx) so high. That doesn't leave much breathing room for Windows 7.

 

Although 250k/bps per player isn't *accurate* It varies. (sorry just wanted to add that in there)

 

250Kbps is a guideline, such that when everyone is spread across different regions, you should expect this much traffic to be generated. I've seen it spike as high as 325Kbps.

 

so should i set the mb of RAM to about 5gb?

 

try this first:

Echo OFF
SET BINDIR=%~dp0
CD /D "%BINDIR%"
java -server -Xmn4G -Xms7G -Xmx7G -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:+UseParNewGC -XXarallelGCThreads=5 -XX:+CMSParallelRemarkEnabled -XX:+DisableExplicitGC -XX:MaxGCPauseMillis=500 -XX:SurvivorRatio=16 -XX:TargetSurvivorRatio=90 -jar craftbukkit.jar
PAUSE

this reduces you're lag by using the power of you're CPU

 

Yes, 5GB should be fine, unless you have 30+ players.

 

i will have 30+ players
and ashley is that smiley face supposed to be there? i get the errorsaying "Unrecognized option"

 

no it isn't supposed to be there
it has to be

Code:

@ECHO OFF
SET BINDIR=%~dp0
CD /D "%BINDIR%"
java -server -Xmn4G -Xms7G -Xmx7G -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:+UseParNewGC -XX:ParallelGCThreads=5 -XX:+CMSParallelRemarkEnabled -XX:+DisableExplicitGC -XX:MaxGCPauseMillis=500 -XX:SurvivorRatio=16 -XX:TargetSurvivorRatio=90 -jar craftbukkit.jar
PAUSE

 

ok it runs the server but i would need to test it on many peoples, feel free to join serverofminecraft1.no-ip.org for a random server if you'd like to help. put the ip into direct connect fo it to work.

yes people say its better thanks!
