Alright.. well, I've already got it installed anyway.

Can someone tell me what the mechanism is for getting onto Nexuiz server lists for people to "Join"?

Thanks for your replies, appreciated.

enter "sv_public 1" into the server console (or even better, if you followed esteel's guide: add it to your server.cfg)

[charlesk]

Well that's easy. Thanks again.

Well, I got the server to work (look for "Qeltar" in the server list.) But it's so bloody slow and laggy that it gives me a headache. Any ideas?

[divVerent]

For me it for sure is laggy, I am 160ms apart from it. Can you try running top and check the server's CPU load?

[charlesk]

Are you altobe?

Was running top, CPU use for nexuiz ranged 5-15%... and there is idle on the CPU so I don't think it's that.

I may not be able to actually keep this server up if it takes too many resources from that machine.. but I'll keep talking to the host. If there is anything I can do from a Nexuiz end to improve performance, please let me know. Thanks.

Try pinging the server's IP.

Maybe it is already too far from you in terms of routing...

[ZyanKLee]

try to do a traceroute and post the output of it - might give some information.

[charlesk]

No, the pings are fine. This is my normal web host, I use it all the time for tons of things.

It's something on the server.
