Oh, didn't realize the server was being used except for like once a week or so to test it.

Dropping has me very concerned if it occurs on a regular basis (unless it happens on the other servers too and probably the server code rather than the server itself). Real bad if you were to drop at a really important moment. When dropping is it one person at a time or are multiple people dropping at the exact same time?

I don't really have any alternatives to test though without getting the server working on Linux or moving up to dedicated for likely 3x the cost. Very few Windows VM options out there. I know of a couple other VM options but they are close to the cost of dedicated. Don't see any point in paying close to dedicated pricing for a lower spec VM. Will keep an eye out for good deals on dedicated though.

I didnt "drop", my allegiance crashed. Now I know the server can cause the client to crash but its more likely the client crashed by itself than that something special about the testserver did it.
Still ready to teach anyone who asks nicely whatever they want to know about playing alleg. Contrary to popular opinion I do not eat newbies. Voobs taste much better.

It was never a bunch at one time, always one at a time.

I think we have tested TestUS1 enough for now - mostly playing on not-statcounting servers has in the past week let to the leaderboard shrinking from around 70 to 28 people (17 of which have played more than 10 games)

While such a short time low shouldn't matter to our active players it doesn't look good for any new/returning players, so lets get the number back up this weekend by playing mach/css.

Also I want other maps than hihi/IO/star. ;)

indeed. we use testus1 more than any other server these days!

It needs TAG running asap, more maps, and a name.

Added lots of maps. Waiting on pkk to approve server for TAG. Did notice AllSrv had crashed when I went to work on maps, but assuming it is probably not due to the server itself. Believe it is the first time AllSrv has crashed on this server in the 1 month it has been up. Currently does not restart automatically if crashes so if it does send me a PM and I will get it back up asap.

TAG running on TestUS1. Looks like it is working but let me know if there are any issues.

Forgot to add the server to the client's cfg file. Anyway, stats were collected since Thursday. Now there should be your green pie slice... ;)
